SonarScanner Error : "you must install the plugin that supports the language vb"

Question

I am running sonar scanner analysis on a vb.net project .But i am getting the error 'you must install the plugin that supports the language vb' . I have already installed VB .net plugin on server and i have created a quality profile for the same and restarted the sonar qube service too. In sonar-project properties i'm using "sonar.language = vb" . Where am i wrong ? Do i need to restart the server?

Answer 1

vb is the id used by the VB6 plugin. The id for VB.Net is vbnet.

However, the sonar.language property has been deprecated since September 2014 (see here). If you don't set it, the scanner will work out plugin to use based on the file extension.
