Error description
In IBM Developer for z Systems (IDz) v14.1.3, when a sequential dataset is part of a zOS Project that is bound to SonarQube, and a zOS File System Mapping entry exists that maps the dataset to a workstation file extension, intermittent NPE can occur when selecting SonarLint Issue and choosing to see it's Rule Description. Here is the exception that can be seen in the error log file: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.sonarlint.eclipse.ui.internal.views.RuleDescriptionWebView.o pen(RuleDescriptionWebView.java:287) at org.sonarlint.eclipse.ui.internal.views.RuleDescriptionWebView.s etInput(RuleDescriptionWebView.java:261) at org.sonarlint.eclipse.ui.internal.command.ShowRuleDescriptionCom mand.execute(ShowRuleDescriptionCommand.java:33)
Local fix
Problem summary
When a sequential dataset is part of a zOS Project that is bound to SonarQube, and a zOS File System Mapping entry exists that maps the dataset to a workstation file extension, intermittent NPE can occur when selecting a SonarLint Issue and choosing to see it's Rule Description. When the cache used to link the issue entry with the line of code in the file expired the resource could not be found causing the NullPointerException.
Problem conclusion
The scenario that causes the intermittent exceptions is somewhat isolated. It occurred when the cache expired for SonarLint issues in a sequential dataset that is part of a zOS Project, and matches a zOS File System Mapping entry. A modification has been made to correct this issue.
