I'm running into a nullpointer exception when running analysis on a java project.
The condition that triggers the analysis failure only happens when I activate certain Rules in the Quality Profile. Particularly, any rule that has a parameter you can override, causes the nullpointer failure. It fails whether or not I provide an override value or if the parameter is left default.
I should note that I can get successful analysis to complete if those particular rules are deactivated in the quality profile. It only seems to be related to certain rules that have parameters.
I can replicate this Nullpointer failure with both the sonar-runner, and the org.sonarqube gradle plugin (v 1.0). So I suspect it is not a problem with the runner or the plugin but some kind of setup issue with the SonarQube server and/or database.
The problem is, I don't know how to go in and fix this issue. The SonarQube database isn't documented (that I'm aware) I suspect that there is something maybe missing in the database but I'm not even sure where they might be.
Any suggestions on where I might look?
Versions:
SonarQube 4.5.2
SonarQube Runner 2.4
Java 1.8.0_40 Oracle Corporation (64-bit)
Mac OS X 10.10.4 x86_64
