Parse error in javascript

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi,

Sonarqube not able to analyze javascript code.I am using sonarqube 7.6 and javascript plugin sonar-javascript-plugin-5.1.1.7506.

Below is my code :

ERROR: Parse error at line 14 column 7:

4:
5: var rows = prompt(“How many rows for your multiplication table?”);
6: var cols = prompt(“How many columns for your multiplication table?”);
7: if(rows == “” || rows == null)
8: rows = 10;
9: if(cols== “” || cols== null)
10: cols = 10;
11: createTable(rows, cols);
12: function createTable(rows, cols)
13: {
14: var j=1;
^
15: var output = “<table border=‘1’ width=‘500’ cellspacing='0’cellpadding=‘5’>”;
16: for(i=1;i<=rows;i++)
17: {
18: output = output + “

”;
19: while(j<=cols)
20: {
21: output = output + “” + i*j + “”;
22: j = j+1;
23: }
24: output = output + “”;

Thanks

Hi @Dhanush_KC,

  • Are you sure the code you’re analyzing doesn’t actually contain parse errors? Did you verify it somewhere else?
  • If you’re sure the code is valid, could you please share a small reproducer (in the example you posted the code seems to be incomplete) and the logs?

Thanks,
Andrea

1.Yes,This code will run successfully in the browser but sonarqube is giving parse errors which is indicated above(logs in the sonarqube).

Could you attach this file? I think it may contain some special characters which breaks the parser.

Thanks for this help.
Removed Special characters (<>…</>) and kept pure javascript code and it is displaying report
