I’m running into have a very similar issue. Also VSTS and also a null crash when analyzing vulnerabilities. I’ve worked around it by disabling the crashing analyzer (S2631) until the issue gets resolved. You could try the same, the crashing one appears to be S3649; remove it from your custom ruleset.

John, did you manage to get around this thanks to this trick? (= disabling rule S2631)

Hi @John_Jude_Jesuxavier,

Same answer as to @bouke thread.

Thank you for the feedback! We will have a look at this rule to see what is going on and fix it.

Would you mind re-running an analysis with sonar.verbose=true in the begin step and provide us with the full end step logs? And ideally, if you could zip and share the content of the .sonarqube/out/ucfg_cs2 folder (located at the root of your project on the build agent) that would really help us to narrow down the issue.

Cheers,
Amaury
