My project consists of several Git submodules. The parent project has a commit reference update in one of the submodules. This change is the only item in the Git change list. When I try to commit, SonarQube starts to analyze, but eventually returns with a “Checks failed” message in IntelliJ’s commit dialog and prevents the commit from continuing. SonarQube’s log shows the following:

Hello @dyee, thanks for reaching out to us about this.

I think this might be similar to another report we received:

We are working on resolving this issue as soon as possible. The fix should be available in our next release, on August 19th.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey @dyee , we have just released SonarQube for IntelliJ version 10.30. Could you please update and see if you still notice the problem?

Thanks!
