Pmd 5.0(.1) not supported?

Hello,

it seems pmd 5.0.0/5.0.1 is not supported by gradle.

Trying to use it results in the following FAILURE:

  • What went wrong: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ‘:main:pmd’. > Could not find pmd:pmd:5.0.0.

Required by:

PG:main:0.0.0-SNAPSHOT

It seems this is caused by pmd using a different maven groupId (net.sourceforge.pmd:pmd:$pmdVersion instead of pmd:pmd:$pmdVersion) since V5.0.0.

Any chance to use pmd 5?

Hello, this issue was just fixed on master by a pull request but this fix was not part of the gradle 1.4 release. To use pmd >= 5 you have to use the latest nightly from http://www.gradle.org/nightly

cheers, René

I can’t get pmd to work with >=5 and I am using gradle v1.6

These scenarios work:

dependencies {
    pmd 'pmd:pmd:4.2.6'
}

and this works

dependencies {
    compile 'net.sourceforge.pmd:pmd:5.0.3'
}

However, this does not work:

dependencies {
    pmd 'net.sourceforge.pmd:pmd:5.0.3'
}

Just found the source code, haven’t gotten to dig through it yet… PmdPlugin.groovy Pmd.groovy

Hello, I think the problem in your sample code is the wrong groupId. PMD changed its groupId for pmd > 5.0. try this dependency definition:

dependencies {
    pmd 'pmd:pmd:5.0.3'
}

Can you try this and check if that fixes your issue? I admit the error message should be more helpful.

cheers, René

I’ve bumped our integration test from 5.0.1 to 5.0.3/5.0.4, and it works fine. Can you show your full PMD configuration? The idiomatic way to set the PMD version is ‘pmd { toolVersion = ‘5.0.4’ }’ (instead of declaring a PMD dependency).

I have tried doing

dependencies {
    pmd 'pmd:pmd:5.0.3'
}

and

pmd { toolVersion = '5.0.4' }

Still no luck. Maybe there is something wrong in my build.gradle file?

I am just typing “gradle -s check” on the command line…

Also from what I can tell the groupId changed to “net.sourceforge.pmd” when version 5 was released? Link where I got the maven info from

Just have been following along with the “Gradle Effective Implementation Guide” Book and I know it’s based off of gradle version 1.0.0 rc2, so I might be doing something that has been changed. But it’s weird that this works fine when I use pmd version 4.2.6 or 4.3…

Thanks.

Try with a single rule set, for example ‘java-basic’. Note that rule sets have been renamed in PMD 5 (e.g. ‘basic’ => ‘java-basic’).

Okay,

I have narrowed it down to one line failing. I guess the error message isn’t helpful at all, as to what the real issue is.

So this line works fine for versions 4.3 and less, but not for >=5

ruleSets = ['basic', 'design', 'braces', 'unusedcode', 'codesize', 'controversial', 'coupling', 'naming', 'javabeans' , 'typeresolution']

Update: Just saw your post… Okay, yeah, the renaming thing is throwing me off.

If you look in the documentation the example still shown is for Link to documentation for RuleSet

The built-in rule sets to be used. See the official list of built-in rule sets. Example: ruleSets = ["basic", "braces"]

Thanks for your help…
