Error with bare repository

tschindler · August 15, 2024, 6:42am

I’m encountering here a similar problem when trying to analyze some files with SonarLint in my IntelliJ:

Operating system: Windows 11
SonarLint plugin version: 10.8.1.79205
IntelliJ version: 2024.1.5 (Build #IU-241.18968.26)
Programming Language: Java, Javascript, Typescript
The plugin is in connected mode
- Connecte to SonarQube: SonarQube Community Edition Version 9.9.0.65466

In my case the following error is logged as soon as I try to analyse a file:

I don’t know, what is wrong here, I can only guess, that the latest SonarLint version uses a feature (worktree) of the server which is only supported in newer version.

Ahh - from looking at the stacktrace, I think my error may be not be related to the one of the initial post.
It seems that the plugin has problems connecting to our Git repository, which is a bare repository.

One more information to this issue:

There is an error ticket at Eclipse which treats exactly this problem, found in JGit:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=477475

I thought this was fixed already and until last week, my SonarLint plugin was working without that error.

tschindler · August 15, 2024, 1:19pm

I installed the plugin version SonarLint 10.7.0.78874. With that version, the plugin works as expected. With relase 10.8.0.79133 and 10.8.1.79205 the error occurs.

marcelomartins · August 15, 2024, 2:13pm

Then the question is how to downgrade this plugin?

tobias.hahnen · August 15, 2024, 2:48pm

Hi @marcelomartins, @tschindler,

the instructions on how to downgrade are described in the docs.

This is flagged for our colleagues working on the Git integration of SonarLint; please be a bit patient with them due to the holiday season. We are currently not that many around.

Best,
Tobias

Hello,

I followed the instructions from SonarSource support and upgraded the plugin again to version 10.8.1.79205 and surprisingly it started working again!!
Thank you very much anyway.

I’m getting this same error after updating from 10.6. The error happens with both 10.7 and 10.8.

Hello,

I investigated the issue. The root cause is assuming the repo is always a non-bare repo. Because of the false assumption, the current version tries to access the work tree of bare repositories that don’t have it by definition. I created two tickets for the fix.
