SonarQube crashes on file with \n line-endings

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1
  • which versions are you using: SonarQube Server
  • how is SonarQube deployed: Docker
  • Version: v10.7 (96327)

The error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 4 is not a valid line offset for pointer.

The file had \n (instead of \r\n for all other files) line-endings.
Why does SonarQube crash on this? Seems like a pretty standard line-ending for Linux, Mac, … users?
Or do we have a configuration issue somewhere or something?

Hi,

It generally doesn’t. Can you share why you think it’s the line ending, specifically? Does the line have any special characters in it?

Can you share the file?

Also, 10.7 is EOL. You should upgrade to SonarQube Server 2025.1 or SonarQube Community Build 25.3 at your earliest convenience.

The file is d3.js, so probably downloaded from the internet at some point.

The line it complains about (#2302) is 2 spaces and a }, I checked for special characters on that line but it’s 2 regular spaces.

  }

I’ve attached the file here (it’s a JS file which I renamed to .zip because it didn’t allow uploading a js file)

d3.js.zip (330.0 KB)

After I converted the LF to CRLF and ran SonarQube, it worked without issues… (I did convert it for the whole file, not just on line 2302)

Hi,

The LF / \n line ending is standard, in my experience. I’m not sure what to tell you.
