Sonar Failure because of org.sonar.plugins.surefire.api.SurefireUtils.getReportsDirectory(Lorg/sonar/api/resources/Project;)Ljava/io/File;

Question

I have couple of groovy/ grails projects and i am using sonar-runner to analyze them. They worked perfectly until today I started receiving this error :

ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution
ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar
ERROR: Caused by: org.sonar.plugins.surefire.api.SurefireUtils.getReportsDirectory(Lorg/sonar/api/resources/Project;)Ljava/io/File;

Not sure whats this, if somebody has experience this error before pls let me know

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The sonar-surefire-plugin-1.5.jar in your sonar/extensions.plugins/ directory I believe is the problem. I upgraded that to the 3.3.2 version from the maven repository; http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.sonar.plugins/sonar-surefire-plugin, then restarted sonar and everything worked. I am running the sonar-groovy-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT from cloud bees but I had the problem with their jar as well.

Answer 2

Hmm... I had the same problem after installin of sonar 3.7.3 (the latest) Before it I have used sonar 3.5.X and all were OK. As possible solution: install previous version (3.6.X)

There's a compatibility issue between Java Plugins 1.5 and Groovy 0.6 (and also Flex 1.2). Related JIRA tickets: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS-3178 and http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS-3259.
