Hi, I got an error on running my sonar-scanner sources: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Trailing char at index 75: E:\BuildAgent\work\c76803df29afe460\KE\sources\\\Common\KEService_defines.h and I see that in build log trailing space in the of a file, but it is missing in the filename. The error is reproduced on sonar-scanner v4.6.2.2472 and v4.7.0.2747. Can someone help?

Take a look at this thread – it may not be the file names on the filesystem that is the issue [image] Build-wrapper-dump.json does not match analyzer 6.20.4.45706 version SonarQube Nope, the actual file names are fine wink The resolving of the includes in c++ causes this issue. Something like this #include "detailtextdlg.h " Will be resolved to a path with trailing whitespaces, which causes the error in WindowsPathParser. The Issue is solved by executing regex search and replace of all include statements that contained a trailing space, for example, #include "detailtextdlg.h " to #include "detailtextdlg.h" i.e: our builds are green again wink

What version of SonarQube are you using?

Enterprise Edition Version 9.5 (build 56709)

[14:03:24] : [Step 6/7] 14:03:24.764 DEBUG: ‘KE\sources\Common\KEService_defines.h’ indexed with language ‘cpp’ [14:03:42] : [Step 6/7] 14:03:42.522 DEBUG: ‘KE/sources/Common/KEService_defines.h’ generated metadata with charset ‘UTF-8’ In build log I see that path with correct filename

Thank you for help! The root cause was really in the whitespace in #include this file, we found it and verify fix and now build status is green.

Thanks for the follow-up! I can also let you know that in the next release of SonarQube, we’ll make sure this no longer fails the analysis.
