Gradle + Sonar + Groovy = FAIL?

Question

While executing:

gradle sonarAnalyze

for groovy project, following error occurs: loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/codehaus/plexus/classworlds/ realm/ClassRealm) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "groovyjarjarantlr/TokenStream"

How this could be fixed?

Used versions:

• gradle-1.0-milestone-8a
• org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:1.8.4
• sonar 2.13

Answer 1

It's a known incompatibility between Sonar and Gradle. Currently it's impossible to analyze Groovy code with Sonar/Gradle. Hopefully this will get addressed in a future Sonar/Gradle release.
