NoSuchMethodError with SonarQube 6

[marco-ceriani]

The plugin does not work with SonarQube version 6.4 and sonar scanner 3.0.3.778. It seems that one API was removed.

I have the same error after activating the plugin in sonar 6.7.

[Mulugruntz]

The problem comes from this line.

Same problem here on sonar 7.0.
Here it says that it's deprecated in 5.4: http://javadocs.sonarsource.org/5.4/apidocs/org/sonar/api/resources/File.html#fromIOFile(java.io.File,%20org.sonar.api.resources.Project)
So it has been removed in 6.x.

We can see that in 6.7 it says that File has been deprecated in favour of InputFile:
http://javadocs.sonarsource.org/6.7/apidocs/org/sonar/api/resources/File.html
http://javadocs.sonarsource.org/6.7/apidocs/org/sonar/api/batch/fs/InputFile.html

So, all in all, I believe the fix would be something like:

final Resource resource;
// ...
resource = org.sonar.api.resources.File.fromIOFile(file, project);

final DefaultInputFile inputFile;
// ...
InputFile file = org.sonar.api.batch.fs.inputFile(fs.predicates().hasRelativePath(file.path()));

There will be of course other changes (signatures...) to be done. But that should not take more than a day to whoever wants to fix it (and knows a bit of Java/the codebase).

[Mulugruntz]

I would put this as top-priority as this means the whole plugin cannot be used in sonar 6.0+. And the LTS is 6.7.
