ERROR: Caused by: Failed to index files Caused by: /app/localstorage/BuildAgent2/work/4b0ae3/src/project/WebApp/links/bash/root

SonarQube Server / Community Build

  • I am using SonarQube Runner 2.4
  • SonarQube scanning is failed with the ERROR: Caused by: Failed to index files Caused by: /app/localstorage/BuildAgent2/work/4b0ae3/src/project/WebApp/links/bash/root
  • I have tried to exclude the links directory with the option -Dsonar.exclusions=/links/

But the scan is failing at indexing level, i believe exclusion comes after indexing.

The symbolic link inside our project is referring to root ( links/ bash -> / ) and the sonarqube is failing here to perform indexing

Hi,

Please try updating your exclusion to **/links/**/*.*. Also, for the record, exclusions are easier to manage via the UI.

Thanks for your response Ann, i updated my exclusion with **/links/**/*.*
Still it is failed with the same error message.
I see in the debug log, sonarqube has expended all the links till it encountered this link, which is referring to root ( / )

Hi,

Could you re-run analysis with either the -X switch or -Dsonar.verbose=true so we have a little more to go on in the error message?

I’m having the same issue too. Could you tell how this issue is resolved?
