"No classes configured for SpotBugs analysis" error for some projects in Multi-Project build

[semen-levin-epam]

I have Multi-Project Kotlin Gradle project. I'd want to analyze Java classes, that I have, with SpotBugs.

The problem is that for some projects SpotBugs Gradle task works, but for some - not. I couldn't define the reason why task fails for some projects and for others - not.

BTW, I have empty source sets and I see NO-SOURCE by related SpotBugs task.

I use Gradle 3.7, and SpotBugs Gradle plugin 1.6.1.

Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserDataException: No classes configured for SpotBugs analysis.

I am getting the same error. I am using Gradle 5.0. I am trying to replace findbags with SpotBugs.

it has started to happen now to me as well (after an update to Gradle 5.4.1)

[souley-medable]

@wlsc @semen-levin-epam Any updates regarding this issue?

[Opio-Emmanuel-Omona]

it has started to happen now to me as well (after an update to Gradle 5.4.1)

@wlsc @semen-levin-epam this happened to me too.
The Gradle 5.4.1 changed the location of the compiled class files.

Try changing the path of the classes in your spot bugs task.
I removed this compileDebugJavaWithJavac from the path and it worked for me.
It turns out it is something like intermediates/javac/debug/classes
and not intermediates/javac/debug/compileDebugJavaWithJavac/classes

Please use the latest version of the spotbugs-gradle plugin. If you are still having an issue, please reopen with the details and a minimum example project.
