SonarLint 4.2. - Error while Installing in Eclipse Mars

SonarQube for IDE Eclipse
,
1

Hello,
I’m trying to install Sonarlint, using Eclipse Mars. I go to the marketplace and search for “sonarlint”. I get a hit with version 4.2. Then I click install an then I confirm it an click Finish. And then immediately comes an error:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

On SonarLint for Eclipse | Code Quality & Security Extension I read that version 4.1 would be the actual one. But I don’t have a choice, I only get version 4.2 at the marketplace.

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

The version on https://www.sonarlint.org/eclipse/ is not up to date (yet), and I confirm that the latest version of SonarLint available on the Eclipse marketplace is 4.2 :slight_smile:

I tried to reproduce this issue with a freshly downloaded Eclipse Mars.2, but I had trouble with the Marketplace client.

However, I did manage to have SonarLint 4.2 installed (and working!) using the “Help > Install New Software…” dialog, and the update site URL provided by the marketplace page: https://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org

Could you please try with the manual update site install?

There could also be hints about what is wrong in log file in ${workspace}/.metadata/.log.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry, that I did notice it so late. The notification mail got lost in my spam directory.

I tried it using “Help -> Install new Software…”. It lasts longer and the progressbar said that it did something, but then the same error occured.

In the logfile is the stacktrace, but the message itself stays the same:

Hello, at this point it looks like there is something in your network that prevents you from accessing the file, e.g a proxy server.

Just to be sure, could you please:

  • Try to download the file by opening the URL in a browser
  • If you have access to the curl utility, show the output of e.g:
curl -O -vvv https://binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/4.2.0/plugins/org.sonarlint.eclipse.m2e_4.2.0.201909192007.jar
