Sonar Java Plugin json not found

Hi,

I am working on my final Project which consists in analyse Java source code with custom rules to identify vulnerabilities in applications. I am following the SonarQube documentation for writing custom rules in Java (https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Writing+Custom+Java+Rules+101). I am facing issues when trying to run the test file through Junit as indicated in the documentation. I get a "<Rule name>_java.json not found" for each test I try to run, I have even tried to run Junit tests from the sample project provided in SonarQube documentation (https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-custom-rules-examples/tree/master/java-custom-rules) which is fully functional. I have been looking for this error around Internet for about a week and found anything so I decided to try here. Does anyone know how to solve this error? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Joaquin

To be more accurate that's what I get when I try to run the Junit test:

WARN o.s.j.checks.verifier.CheckVerifier - Exception parsing JSON for rule MyFirstCustomCheck

java.io.IOException: /org/sonar/l10n/java/rules/squid/MyFirstCustomCheck_java.json not found

I don't know what's happening, do I have to create those JSON files myself?

Thanks in advance,

Joaquin

Hello Joaquin,

Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, it seems that some internal work we did to enforce our usage of rule remediation cost had unexpected and definitely unintended impact on the JavaCheckVerifier API. This regression has been introduced in SonarJava 4.5 and broke compatibility with the tutorial. I created the following ticket to fix the issue: SONARJAVA-2197

For the time being, your only option in order to continue your development would be to downgrade to version 4.4.0.8066 of the SonarJava check test kit in the dependency of your custom plugin (see pom.xml file).

<groupId>org.sonarsource.java</groupId>

<artifactId>java-checks-testkit</artifactId>

</dependency>

It would allow you to continue to rely on the @Rule annotation, as described in the tutorial. As it's only the testing framework which is failing, this should not have impact on the rest of your code and you should be able to safely continue developing your rules.

HTH,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for your response, I will definitely try changing the version of that component to see if it works. I'll let you know once tested.

Regards,

Joaquin

Hello Joaquin,

after further investigation it seems to me, that if the JSON file is not provided the exception is logged in the log, however the test itself doesn't fail. Can you please confirm if your tests are really failing due to JSON file missing? Ideally if you can sent full log of your maven build.

Thanks

Tibor

I have downgraded java-checks-testkit version to 4.4.0.8066 and now the test doesn't throw that JSON error. However, the test is still failing:

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.832 sec <<< FAILURE! - in org.sonar.template.java.checks.MyFirstCustomCheckTest

test(org.sonar.template.java.checks.MyFirstCustomCheckTest) Time elapsed: 0.832 sec <<< ERROR!

Maybe it's a Maven problem, but it throws this error all the time, I've tried updating the project, cleaning and installing again, but it doesn't seem to work. I will keep trying.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

I have added the following dependency and now it works fine:

<groupId>org.assertj</groupId>

<artifactId>assertj-core</artifactId>

</dependency>

Thank you all for being so helpful,

Hello Joaquin,

great, so as you can see the IOException in the log is not related, though I agree it is confusing and it will be removed.

And you correctly discovered that we forgot to update maven pom file in the custom rule example repo, when we replaced fest-assert library by assertj library. We will update this too.

Thanks for reporting those problems, it helps up to make the analyzer better for everybody.

Regards

Tibor

Hi Tibor,

You are right, I could have simply ignored that exception because the test wasn't failing and the project build was correct. Sorry I didn't notice before. However, I will continue my development relying on version 4.4.0.8066 of the java-checks-testkit as it's working flawlessly. Thanks for your help.

Joaquin
