NPE when searching for issues with rules filter

SonarQube Server / Community Build Writing rules
1

Hello,

I’m trying to implement a custom rule. I can see it in UI, I can attach it to quality profiles (it yet does not detect issues), but when I try to use the rule filter in issue search page, I’m getting a NPE.

2024.05.23 10:57:30 ERROR web[a563e482-01da-44c3-b766-0be3d4e1281e][o.s.s.w.WebServiceEngine] Fail to process request http://localhost:9000/api/issues/search?s=FILE_LINE&issueStatuses=CONFIRMED%2COPEN&ps=1&facets=rules&additionalFields=_all&timeZone=Europe%2FAmsterdam

It It seems something is missing in my rule configs. Any clues are appreciated. Let me know if you need any specific details about the rule. Below is the rule json and a part of the rule class.

  "type": "BUG",

    "impacts": {
      "RELIABILITY": "MEDIUM"
    },

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

What SonarQube version are we talking about? And what language?

 
Thx,
Ann

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the response. This is related to this thread. I assume this too doesn’t work as I’m not supposed to use the symbolic execution engine for custom rules.

We can close this thread.

Thanks,
Bhathiya
