Build failing at the “Run Code Analysis” step. Error details below.

##[error]java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Start pointer [line=40, lineOffset=49] should be before end pointer [line=40, lineOffset=49] 

Answer 1

There are few possibilities to fix the illegal attribute exception

Change your encoding method into

1. UTF-8

2. UTF-8 with BOM

3. and others like (UTF-16 LE, UTF-16 LE with BOM, UTF-16 BE, UTF-16 BE with BOM, Western (Windows 1252)) as per your usage

Try to re-create the file again by either cloning the repo to different location or by copy-paste the file contents inside newly created file.

Try to use the Recent Sonarqube version 9.1
