SonarQube Server: v2025.1 (102418)
SonarQube for IDE: 10.15.0.80347
public record ExampleObject(@org.springframework.lang.Nullable String value) {
}
When I pass null to this object SonarQube server complains that the field is not annotated as Nullable (java:S4449). However, this issue is not shown by SonarQube for IDE unless I remove the Nullable annotation.
Annotating it with javax.annotation.Nullable instead does not help.
It may be relevant to point out that package-info.java is annotated with org.springframework.lang.NonNullApi, so it may be that Sonar is getting confused about which annotation has priority. Though my entire project is annotated NonNullApi at the package level, so this would be surprising.
Even stranger is that not all usages where null is passed are reported.
In one place I have done this to reproduce. Issue reported on line 1 and 2.
1. new ExampleObject(null);
2. return new ExampleObject(
3. obj.getValue().orElse(null)
4. );
But then in a different file I added this and it was not reported.
log.info("{}", new ExampleObject(null));
