  • steps to reproduce: Don’t know. The external report looks good.
  • potential workaround: not using externalIssuesReportPaths :slight_smile:

Hi Julien

To help us reproducing the error, what is the analyser you import reports from?

Thanks

4

by the way https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-11741 was created. Fix should come soon.

Hi Simon,

I used an home made PHP script which converts CodeSniffer json report to the Sonar format:
convert-results.txt (2.0 KB)

I suppose I missed a mandatory attribute but the NPE is not explicit enough and the source doesn’t help me when I checked it quickly.

6

The start position of the issue is set but not the end position (line or column). This case is badly supported and should be fixed in any case.

7

I try to set null values as the documentation says it is optional but the issue is still the same.

8

I finally got it thanks to the sources: I just removed startColumn and it works now.

The documentation was not explicit enough: it was not clear that end positions are only optional if startColumn is missing too.

Btw the NPE is now fixed on :sonarcloud: !
