This is the error you probably will be facing if you are using azure pipeline

Here’s the Sample YAML Code:

```
resources:
  repositories:
  - repository: Dependency
    type: githubenterprise
    endpoint: https://github.azc.ext.xxx.com
    name: cloud-client/Dependency

trigger: none

pool: 'SWindows2022-DEV'

variables:
  buildPlatform: 'x64'
  buildConfiguration: 'Release'

steps:
- checkout: self
- checkout: Dependency

- script: |
     move Dependency/KHPLib $(Build.SourcesDirectory)

- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1

- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://sq.corp.xxxcloud.net/static/cpp/build-wrapper-win-x86.zip' -OutFile 'build-wrapper.zip'
      Expand-Archive -Path 'build-wrapper.zip' -DestinationPath '.'
      Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/releases/download/5.13.0.66756/sonar-scanner-msbuild-5.13.0.66756-net46.zip' -OutFile 'sonar-scanner-msbuild.zip'
      Expand-Archive -Path 'sonar-scanner-msbuild.zip' -DestinationPath './SonarScanner'

- task: VSBuild@1
  inputs:
    solution: 'KHPLib\src\KHPLib\KHPLib.vcxproj'
    platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
    configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'

- task: SonarQubePrepare@5
  inputs:
    SonarQube: 'https://sq.corp.xxxcloud.net'
    scannerMode: 'CLI'
    configMode: 'manual'
    cliProjectKey: 'xxx_HPCEMConnectionWizardWin'
    cliSources: '.'
    extraProperties: |

      sonar.java.file.suffixes=-

- task: CmdLine@2
  inputs:
    script: |

      SonarScanner\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end

- task: SonarQubeAnalyze@5

- task: SonarQubePublish@5
  inputs:
    pollingTimeoutSec: '300'

- task: sonar-buildbreaker@8
  inputs:
    SonarQube: 'https://sq.corp.xxxcloud.net'
```

Detailed Error:

```
ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution 2023-05-27T12:25:22.4759667Z File HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/src/HPCEMConnectionWizardLauncher/framework.h can't be indexed twice. Please check that inclusion/exclusion patterns produce disjoint sets for main and test files

Here is the code I like to analyze:

The C# code(*.CS) dir lists:

HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/Model/ HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/View/ HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/ViewModel/

The C++ code(.CPP,.h) dir lists:

HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/src/

verbose log: https://community.sonarsource.com/uploads/short-url/pANjC2FqXe3iqumr095tLL1TmLx.txt
```

One of Developer Commented Out:

```
You need to check if HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/App.config is included twice somehow. You should add sonar.verbose=true in the SonarQubePrepare step and check what files are indexed by Sonar. Then you can see where the duplication lies. Next, follow Narrowing the Focus to make sure certain files are not indexed twice.

For a quick workaround, just exclude that HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/App.config file with:

sonar.exclusions= HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/HPCEMConnectionWizardWin/App.config
```
