repeat Stackoverflow on large codebase invoked from Jenkins/sonar-scanner CLI

[Sriram-Kumar1]

you folks are doing a great job. We were trying to generate a CBOM for some codebase and its working when we exclude certain sections of directories from scan but able to scan them independently and generate separate report

openjdk version "17.0.12" 2024-07-16
INFO: SonarQube Scanner 3.3.0.1492
INFO: Java 17.0.12 Ubuntu (64-bit)
INFO: Linux 5.4.0-196-generic amd64
INFO: SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS=-Xmx4g -Xss8m -- this is just to test but makes no difference
INFO: User cache: /home/jenkins/.sonar/cache
INFO: SonarQube server 10.7.0.96327

when invoked from cLI we get

ERROR: A stack overflow error occurred while analyzing file: ''
java.lang.StackOverflowError: null
at com.ibm.engine.language.java.JavaDetectionEngine.resolveValues(JavaDetectionEngine.java:185)
at com.ibm.engine.language.java.JavaDetectionEngine.resolveValues(JavaDetectionEngine.java:262)
at com.ibm.engine.language.java.JavaDetectionEngine.resolveValues(JavaDetectionEngine.java:205)
<repeated 1025 times>

any assistance would be great!!

Hi @Sriram-Kumar1, thank you for your feedback!
The best way for us to find the bug is to create a test case for the isolated snippet of code that causes the stack overflow. If you are able to share the code snippet, then we can find the bug very quickly. If there are restrictions on your side for sharing the code snipped, we will have some trouble finding the cause.
