# Expected behavior

- Scan executes successfully and reports results.

# Workaround

- I manually copied the folders and files from another computer to `/home/USER/Android/Sdk/extras/android/support/`.
- It looks like the scanner expects certain folders and files to exists. I suppose this expectation results from earlier times when Google shiped those artifacts with the SDK. Nowadays, Google publishes the support libraries via their own Maven repository instead.

Hi Tobias, according to the stacktrace, the exception is thrown by SonarJava.  
What is your SonarJava version?  
What is your configuration for properties: `sonar.java.binaries` and `sonar.java.libraries`?

SonarQube Version 7.2.1 (build 14109)  
SonarJava 5.6 (build 15032) is installed

The libraries are concatenated:

```auto
def libraries = "${project.android.sdkDirectory.getPath()}/platforms/android-${project.ext.CompileVersion}/android.jar," +
       "${project.android.sdkDirectory.getPath()}/extras/android/support/**/*.jar," +
       "build/intermediates/exploded-aar/**/classes.jar"

```

and then later set

```auto
property "sonar.libraries", libraries
property "sonar.java.libraries", libraries

```

binaries

```auto
property "sonar.binaries", "build/intermediates/classes/${flavor}/debug"
property "sonar.java.binaries", "build/intermediates/classes/${flavor}/debug, " +
        "build/intermediates/javac/debug/compileDebugJavaWithJavac/classes/com.example/"

```

or if no `flavor` exists:

```auto
property "sonar.binaries", "build/intermediates/classes/debug"
property "sonar.java.binaries", "build/intermediates/classes/debug, " +
        "build/intermediates/javac/debug/compileDebugJavaWithJavac/classes/com.example/"

Could you confirm my assumptions about the failing `./gradlew sonarqube` context?

- `sonar.java.libraries` contains one entry equal to `/home/USER/Android/Sdk/extras/android/support/**/*.jar`
- The folder `/home/USER/Android/Sdk/extras/android/support/` does not exist
- If you create an empty folder `/home/USER/Android/Sdk/extras/android/support/` **or** if you remove the faulty entry from `sonar.java.libraries` **then** the analysis succeeds

Instead of creating an empty `/home/USER/Android/Sdk/extras/android/support/` I copied a bunch of folders and files into this folder as mentioned in the workaround. Then the `sonarqube` task succeeded.  
Then I renamed the `support` folder to `support.disabled` assuming that the `sonarqube` task fails again. It however still succeeds. I guess there is some caching involved.

I did not try to remove `/home/USER/Android/Sdk/extras/android/support/**/*.jar` from `sonar.java.libraries` since the configuration is shared among projects.
