Hi,

It seems that SonarLint local issue cache somehow got corrupted. You can fix the issue by manually deleting the cache. It is located in <your workspace root>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/<your eclipse project name>/org.sonarlint.eclipse.core/issues/
You can simply remove the entire folder, and the error should go away.
The consequence is that you’ll lose the “history” of your issues (when was the issue first discovered), so in the UI, all issues will have a fresh date.
