Problem with checkstyle plugin

cmonsalve · December 26, 2015, 7:11pm

Hi, I am new with Gradle. I am having problems using the checkstyle plugin. I have tried both with Gradle 2.6 and with Gradle 2.7

I have followed the instructions, so I have included in my build.gradle file the following line:

apply plugin: 'checkstyle'

However, it does not work when i run the check task. What I get is the following failure: > Execution failed for task ‘:checkstyleMain’.

I am copying bellow part of the details of the failure:

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':checkstyleMain'.

I’m moving this to the proper forum since it has nothing to do with Buildship.

Hi
You must provide more details about your build, e.g. the checkstyle block inside your build.gradle

And the exception you see is probably caused by another exception down the stacktrace. You should also add this real cause here.

Dear Fracois, I am following The Checkstyle Plugin Therefore, the only line I added to my build.gradle is: apply plugin: ‘checkstyle’

I am copying bellow the full stacktrace after running gradlew check --stacktrace

Thanks

The checkstyle plugin requires you to provide a config file which, by default, needs to be located in your project directory at config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml. This is why the error message states that it is unable to find this file:

This requirement is noted in section 56.3. Project layout of the checkstyle plugin documentation.

Alternatively, you can specify a different location for the config file using the configFile or config (incubating) property of the CheckstyleExtension noted in section [56.5. Configuration] (The Checkstyle Plugin).
