Java Nullable annotation causes analyser to fail on certain files

SonarQube
1

Hey there,

I’m trying to analyse one of our Java 8 projects with Sonarqube, and I’m seeing this error crop up in the logs on our CI:

ERROR: Unable to run check class org.sonar.java.se.SymbolicExecutionVisitor - on file <snip> org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.problem.AbortCompilation: Pb(324) The type javax.annotation.Nullable cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

I’ve checked our Gradle files and the nullable package, com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305, is being included transitively. Explicitly adding it as a dependency doesn’t seem to help.

We’re using SonarQube 8.4.1.35646 with SonarScanner version 4.4.0.2170 and v3.0 of the Gradle plugin.

Any idea how I might go about troubleshooting this further?

Hello @lewis-porter-inspera,

Unfortunately, without a small project reproducing the issue, it will be hard to identify the what’s causing the issue. Could you design a small project with 1-2 classes which would consistently fail with the same issue?

Thanks,
Michael
