Xpath is not working for sonarqube6.2 Rule/ XML 1.2 plugin , please help

[Manaswinee Mohanty]

Hi All,

Tried few things but not getting the result :

code snippet: 

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

<PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    <userPermissions>

        <enabled>true</enabled>

        <name>ViewSetup</name>

    </userPermissions>

</PermissionSet> 

Xpath: 

//PermissionSet/userPermissions/name[text()="ViewSetup"]/../enabled[text()="true"]

Hello Manaswinee,

I ran your example using the latest version 1.4.2 of SonarXML. As expected, I came up with an issue on the line with <enable>true<enable>. Your value for "expression" is correct. I set "filePattern" to "**/*.xml".

Please let us know, should the trouble persist.

Hi Yves,

Hello Manaswinee,

I understand that you ran the analysis with your file having ".xml" extension and no issue was raised.

I suggest the following:
1) Check that your rule is active. Please note that, by default, a new rule is not active.
2) If the trouble persists, create another rule "Track breaches of an XPath rule" with a very simple expression, e.g, expression = //PermissionSet/userPermissions. Check that the issue is raised.
3) If the trouble still persists, check the log file of your analysis.

If ever you come up with no clue, please send us your log file.

Hi Yves,

Thank you for reaching out. I really need your help. 

I have followed the steps you have mentioned but unfortunately the rule is not getting picked up by sonnar -runner(hudson plugin we are using)

Please find attached the log synopsis and the rule screenshot.

Can you tell me which logs you need and if required I can go for an hangout call with you. 

It will be great help. 

Regards,

Manaswinee

Dear Manaswinee,

I am sorry, but I am only allowed to have direct discussions with the SonarQube customers.

I cannot see anything abnormal from your screen caption and your log file. The value you set to property "sonar.xml.file.suffixes" is compatible with the filePattern you set in your rule ("**/*.permissionset"). I just ran an example with identical config and the rule raised an issue.

Here are a few hints:
- Activate another rule for language XML (not a template rule like rule "Track breaches of an XPath rule") and try to fire it with your current configuration (you will likely need to udpate one of your .permissionset files to make it non compliant). Make sure that issues are  raised
- Scan with debug-level traces activated (-X)
- Remove the namespace reference in your XML file. That is, replace <PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> with <PermissionSet>. It shouldn't make a difference, but you can check.

Good luck!

Hi Yves,

I have similar problem with xml plugin , I am using LTS 6.7 sonarqube and xml plugin directly downloaded from update center.

The problem is with activating the rule. I can create custom rules under "Track breaches of an XPath rule" but there is no option of activating the new custom rule.

Earlier i was using 5.6 LTS and xml plugin 1.4 i was able to create new xpath rules and activate and analyse but i have changed to 6.7 n now no option of activating the rule. 

Kindly help me with this problem.
