Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.scan.filesystem.ProjectFileIndexer when doing analysis of Azure DevOps PR

  • Azure DevOps, using private build agent on Windows 10
  • Java is 64Bit Redhat OpenJDK-1.8.0.191
  • Version SonarQube 7.6.0.21501 Developer
  • SonarScanner Azure DevOps Tasks 4.5.1

I have a large code base and have successfully run SonarQube analysis against the branches

  • Master
    • feature/xxx

I create a personal branch for new work off the feature branch. Once the work was complete I try to do an Azure DevOps PR back into parent feature branch. This PR trigger Azure DevOps builds that include SonarQube analysis

For my main solution/build, when I do analysis of the PR into a parent branch the correct SonarQube.properties are automatically being set (source branch, target branch, PR ID) but the analysis task is failing with the following error

I have a second build triggered by the PR for a smaller solution in the same repo, on the same branch and against the same SonarQube project on the same private build agent. This works without any error, correctly detecting the change files

Is there any reason the PR check analysis should fail for the build of the larger solution?

Do I need to set some extra flag to allow more memory usage or something similar?

Note that the actual MSBUILD of the code completes without and errors prior to attempting to perform the SonarQube analysis

I have changed the category as after more testing, the problem seems to be due to the code size being analysed, no a config or usage error

Ok this is really strange. We have not make any changes to our build VMs (not even rebooted them) but the issue has gone away.

Only change I can think of is we reviewed our rule set to remove old rules. Not sure if this could have cause the issue

I will keep monitoring it

I am suddenly getting the same issue on my builds. It is a lot of code, but it has successfully been using SonarCloud for 6+ months with no issues.

Hi @rfennell - You always seem to popup in the same places as me! In answer to your questions, I don’t think this issue is due to large solutions. We have it running on an very large solution (1.5GB+ source code) and it has been ok. Yes, we had to run it with more memory, but I don’t think this issue is related to memory or the size of the solution.

@gregpakes yes, strange isn’t it, maybe one day actually meet !

Strangely our issue just went away. Just the type of problem I hate, no real resolution or reason

I am encountering the same issue that is repeatable on the same machine. The error does not occur on a different environment. This is a small solution.

the i.t guys just resolved it. they said that was just a plugin-update. dont have more details.

I believe I know what the problem is on my side: For my SCM I was using git with a depth of 1. That would cause the history logic to fail.

I had the same problem. @jazaret you are right, a deep clone fixed it for me. Thanks!

I am hitting this issue in sonarqube 7.9.1 as well, for branch analysis. Our problem is that we would prefer not to do a deep clone since it takes a substantial amount of time for it to pull down. Is there a way to solve this issue without the need for a deep clone?

in the same boat. Have you found a fix?

Thanks a lot for that! Our apps repos are very light… so that helped to understand what was going on with sonar execution.
