…fork-PR guard Brings the shared action up to parity with the SonarCloud configuration ploch-common grew inline after it stopped consuming this action. Adds two optional inputs: sonar-project-version, passed as /v: so the "Previous version" new-code definition has a version history to diff against, and sonar-coverage-exclusions so test projects and scripts are not scored as uncovered production code. Broadens the OpenCover glob to coverage*.opencover.xml — Coverlet emits one file per assembly for multi-project solutions, so the previous exact filename silently missed most of the coverage. Also sets sonar.scm.provider and sonar.projectBaseDir explicitly. Replaces the unconditional token validation with a sonar-eligibility step. Secrets are not exposed to pull requests from forks, so an absent token there now skips the scanner steps with a warning while build and test still run, instead of failing the whole check. An absent token on a same-repository run remains a hard error. Scanner arguments are read from the environment rather than interpolated into the command line, and native exit codes are checked explicitly because pwsh only propagates the last statement's status. Documents the action in the README, including the fetch-depth: 0 requirement and the need to disable SonarCloud Automatic Analysis. Refs: #4

The eligibility check tested only head.repo.full_name != github.repository, which is false for a Dependabot pull request because the branch lives in this repository. GitHub nevertheless withholds ordinary Actions secrets from Dependabot, so an empty token reached the hard-error path and the build and test steps never ran — the exact failure the fork guard was added to prevent. Adds the author check to the condition and renames the flag to SECRETS_WITHHELD, since it now covers both cases rather than forks alone. Warning text, input documentation and README updated to match. Raised independently by Codex (P1) and CodeRabbit (Major) on PR #5. Refs: #4
…ures Gating the scanner steps was not enough: a failed eligibility check, tool install or `begin` still halted the composite action and skipped Build and Test, trading a masked Sonar failure for a lost compile-and-test signal — the more valuable of the two. Build and Test Coverage now carry if: !cancelled(). The eligibility step no longer exits 1 on a missing token either, because failing there would skip Setup .NET and Restore and leave Build failing for an unrelated reason; it records a misconfigured output instead, and a new final step fails the job once build and test have run. Reported against the equivalent ploch-common workflow by Sourcery (broader_impact) and Codex (P2); the same exposure existed here. Refs: #4

Summary
build-test-sonarhad drifted behind the SonarCloud configuration thatploch-commongrew inline after it stopped consuming this action. Every repository still onbuild-test-sonar@mainwas getting the weaker configuration: no project version, no coverage exclusions, a coverage glob that misses most files on multi-project solutions, and a hard failure on fork pull requests.This brings the action up to parity and documents it.
Changes
New inputs
sonar-project-version/v:. Without it SonarCloud's "Previous version" new-code definition has no version history to diff against and treats the entire baseline as new code on every analysis, making the new-code quality gate meaningless.sonar-coverage-exclusionssonar.coverage.exclusions. Previously nothing was excluded, so test projects and scripts were scored as uncovered production code. Pass''to disable.Coverage glob widened
**/CoverageResults/coverage.opencover.xml→**/CoverageResults/coverage*.opencover.xml.Coverlet emits one file per assembly (
coverage.<Assembly>.opencover.xml) for multi-project solutions. The exact filename silently matched only one of them — coverage was under-reported with no error anywhere.Explicit SCM and base directory
Adds
sonar.scm.provider=gitandsonar.projectBaseDir, matchingploch-common. Without an explicit SCM provider the scanner has to auto-detect blame data, which is what drives new-code attribution.Fork and Dependabot pull requests no longer fail the whole check
The
Validate SonarCloud Tokenstep (added in #3) exited 1 on an empty token. That is right for a misconfigured repository, but on a fork or Dependabot PR the secret is legitimately unavailable — so the action failed and, worse, build and test never ran.Replaced with a

Gating the scanner steps was not enough. A failed tool install or

It records amisconfiguredoutput instead, and a new finalFail on missing SonarCloud tokenstep fails the job once build and test have run.Net effect: a Sonar problem still fails the job, but never suppresses the compile-and-test result.
This was reported by Sourcery (
broader_impact) and Codex (P2) against the equivalent workflow in mrploch/ploch-common#297; the same exposure existed here and was fixed in04a98e3.Hardening
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE }). GitHub only appends an exit-code check after the last statement of apwshblock, so a failingdotnetcall mid-script would otherwise pass silently. This was raised by codeant-ai on fix(build-test-sonar)!: Authenticate Sonar scanner with sonar.token #3 for the script variant.SonarScanner Endnow runs under!cancelled()rather than being skipped after a failed build, so the analysis opened bybeginis always closed out and the PR still gets decorated.Documentation
The README was a two-line stub. It now documents the action, all eight inputs, the mandatory
fetch-depth: 0on checkout, the requirement to disable SonarCloud Automatic Analysis, and the fork-PR behaviour.Design decisions
fail-on-missing-tokeninput. A boolean input pushes the decision onto every caller and gets set wrong. The action can detect the fork case itself from the event context, and the correct behaviour is not ambiguous.ploch-common's exclusion list verbatim as the default, including the repo-specific**/JetbrainsAnnotations.csand**/TestAssemblies/**entries. They are harmless no-ops elsewhere, and matching the reference configuration exactly is the point of this PR. Consumers override the input if they need something different.sonar-project-versiondefaults to empty rather than to a git SHA. A SHA would change every commit, which is worse than no version at all for the "Previous version" definition. TheAction Propertiesstep logs a note when it is unset.Testing
No CI workflow exists in this repository to exercise the action, so verification was done locally:
run:blocks extracted and parsed with[System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFileon pwsh 7.6.3. Zero parse errors.pwsh -Fileprocess across 5 scenarios (token present same-repo; token absent fork PR; token absent Dependabot PR; token absent same-repo; whitespace-only token), asserting exit code,GITHUB_OUTPUTcontents and log output. All matched the table above. Whitespace-only tokens are correctly treated as absent.SECRETS_WITHHELDGitHub expression was simulated across push, same-repo human PR, fork PR, Dependabot PR and Dependabot-from-fork PR, asserting that the flag is the exact inverse of secret availability in every case.SonarScanner Beginwas run against adotnetstub across 3 permutations (version + exclusions, no version, exclusions disabled), confirming/v:andsonar.coverage.exclusionsappear only when their inputs are non-empty and that no argument is malformed.Not verified: a real end-to-end SonarCloud analysis. That requires a consuming repository to bump to this ref. Recommend validating on one repo before others adopt it.
