Sooner in the log, I have also : [2024-06-14T08:04:57.602Z] Property 'sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output' is deprecated; build-wrapper now generates a compilation database.

We recently got the Scanner working on one of our Java Projects that Builds in Gradle. It worked for about a week then suddenly this week, without changing anything I’m aware of (definitely no code changes or gradle changes) it stopped working and returned an error: Execution failed for task ':sona…

Hi all, I’ve combined your threads because they have the same root error: 'other' has different root It’s striking to me that you’re both experiencing this on entirely(?) different stacks. I’ve never seen this error before but since you’re both independently getting it, I’m confident this isn’t…

I’ll have a look if I can find any symlinks but running the scan on a commit that previously scanned ok is now failing with this error. This would rule out symlinks in the repo and the location I’ve checked out to and running scan is all on a single drive without any symlinks. EDIT: Also both our i…

Hi @Paul_Birtle , [image] Paul Birtle: both our issues look to come from TextAndSecretsSensor Thanks for pointing that out! I’m redirecting this internally. Could you provide a full analysis log? Even better if it’s debug level . Thx, Ann

Hi again, It’s possible this is related to SONARTEXT-153 Implement Automatic Test File Detection in case sonar.tests property is not set Altho I would expect Gradle to properly identify the test files. But that means you should be able to work around this by making sure sonar.tests is specifie…

[image] G Ann Campbell: But that means you should be able to work around this by making sure sonar.tests is specified. To what ? We have no tests.

Setting sonar.text.inclusions.activate=false worked for me until this is fixed. This does mean secret scanning will be disabled, but it works because it avoids the area of the scanner throwing the error.

Hi again,

Perhaps I should search before I type.

We have actually seen this before, but it’s been a while.

This is caused by symlinks and/or having files in different drives.
