I am receiving an error related to org.json when trying to use the latest SonarQube QualityGate plugin

[eravenelle]

I am running SonarQube Version 6.5 (build 27846) on Amazon Linux and GoVersion: 17.10.0 (5380-05598d88fd4dabdde1184faa4fbffc5f9406d0dc) also running on Amazon Linux.

The error message:

Hi,

I think we can solve this if you can post the value of JSONArray (or at least the beginning).

There's a high possibility that the JSON you get isn't formatted correctly, but we've also seen other problems when we got this error.

Have a nice day.

@bradeac I don't know what JSONArray is returning because this is happening between the plugin and SonarQube. Is SonarQube's API response returning malformed JSON data? How would I check this?

[bradeac]

Well, there is a way.
1st option: you can log stuff to the pipeline console. For this, you have to add some lines of code, rebuild the plugin and the new plugin into the 'plugins' folder of your go.cd server.

The JSONArray type is used in 'SonarClient' and in 'SonarParser' classes. But, the 'log' method is only available in 'SonarTaskExecutor' class. You can find usage examples of it in this class.

I am thinking that maybe you should log the 'sonarClient' and the 'parser' objects, This way we can see where it's failing.

If I gave you too little details and don't know how to do some of this, just come back with a reply.

2nd option: debug the plugin step by step. This is a bit trickier, you have to have a debug-enabled go.cd agent, run the plugin on that agent and attach to that process on the agent.

Hi @bradeac ,
I am getting the same error as above with Gocd version 19.7.0 (9567-727ea9db824eb6971170ac2a886ff1072ff5a235)

Can you please let me know if this issue has been resolved?

Hi @prem4747,

I'm not quite sure what the status is or if this is still maintained, I haven't worked on this for the last two years.

@nicholasdille, @markus2810 maybe you can help here.
