SonarQube is unable to analyze file: bridge method not marked as synthetic


I've got this exception when analyzing a project with SonarQube (the project utilizes JavaFX, Spring, AOP with compile-time weaving). I'm using the maven plugin to run the analysis sonar:sonar but I get the same errors with a Jenkins plugin. I'm running the sonar plugin on a super-pom used with maven's reactor plugin. What are my solutions?

Solution

  • Your project does 'AOP with compile-time weaving', so you might be impacted by this AspectJ bug:

    It causes flags in bytecode to be incorrect (i.e. bridge methods missing the Synthetic flag), so when that same bytecode is visited by the SonarQube Java Plugin, it fails accordingly: 'bridge method not marked as synthetic'.
