Problem Description

When this warning occurs at the beginning of a DotNet analysis, none of the files of the project are analyzed and the analyzer directly proceeds to the saving step, as shown in the below analysis log file.

Step by Step Scenario
  1. Run analysis for a DotNet application
  2. Open analysis log file and see the warning
Action Plan

Perform the below actions

  1. Check if the folder is a web site or not. If it contains a (*.csproj) or a (*.vbproj) file, then it is NOT a web site. In case of doubt, ask the development team.
    1. If the project is not a web site, then the warning occurs because the corresponding analysis unit is wrongly configured as "Microsoft Visual Studio C#/VB.NET Web Sites" in Cast-MS. Change the analysis unit type into "Microsoft Visual Studio C# project"
    2. If the project is a web site, then the warning occurs because the analyzer cannot find the required web.config file inside the folder. Check with development team if source files are not missing.
  2. Relaunch analysis.
  3. If the above steps do not solve your issue contact CAST Technical Support. with the Relevant Input for reproduction of the issue
