sonar-scanner-cli crash with the error below.
After a long analysis we discover that the problem is if the file start with FOR-EACH syntax.
Example file that can cause crash:

       dcl-pi bug_mwe;                                                                              
         pEntry char(32000);                                                                        
       end-pi;                                                                                      
                                                                                                    
      *********************************************************************************             
      * MAIN                                                                                        
                                                                                                    
       for-each keyValue in %split(pEntry:',');                                                     
       endfor;

Example file that works:

DCL-S order_states CHAR(10) DIM(3);
DCL-S state CHAR(20);

order_states(1) = 'Open';
order_states(2) = 'Active';
order_states(3) = 'Closed';
FOR-EACH state in order_states;
   DSPLY state;
ENDFOR;

Hey there.

As requested in the template post, what version of SonarQube are you using?

The latest: SonarQube 10.4

Hello @Luca_D_Isanto

Thanks very much for your initial investigation and for providing a minimal reproducer, it is really appreciated. I was able to reproduce the error on my side, and I can confirm we are not supporting FOR-EACH syntax correctly.

We have a ticket to improve the situation: SONARRPG-261.

I understand that the situation is annoying, as it prevents any analysis from finishing.
In the meantime, I’m afraid the best workaround is to exclude the files containing for-each. See Narrowing the focus with an analysis scope for more details.

Best,
Quentin

I see that if I declare pEntry like this the scan works.
I think that the scan must end and notify the bug and not crash.

       dcl-pi bug_mwe;                                                                              
         pEntry char(32000);                                                                        
       end-pi;                                                                                      
       pEntry = ''                                                                                             
      *********************************************************************************             
      * MAIN 

       for-each keyValue in %split(pEntry:',');                                                     
       endfor;

ok, thanks for segnalation

Thanks for providing more details on the error, it will help to understand better what is happening.

I agree, this is what we aim for usually, unfortunately, I’m afraid we missed this case.
