Gradle Checkstyle插件默认与Google Checks不兼容

Question

请注意：我创建了这个GitHub项目来帮助您准确地解决问题 。

Java 8和Gradle 4.6在这里。 如果您通过gradle init --type java-library创建一个新的Java Gradle项目，然后使用Gradle Checkstyle插件创建它，并将该插件配置为使用Google的Checkstyle XML ，它将立即失败：

plugins {
    id 'java-library'
}

apply plugin: 'checkstyle'

dependencies {
    testCompile(
        'junit:junit:4.12'
    )
}

repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
}

checkstyle {
    // Go to the Google Checks link above and paste its
    // contents into checkstyle.xml
    config = rootProject.resources.text.fromFile('buildConfig/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml')
}

使用该配置，运行./gradle clean build会产生：

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':checkstyleMain'.
> Unable to create a Checker: configLocation {/Users/myuser/workspace/test-gradle-checkstyle/buildConfig/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml}, classpath {/Users/myuser/workspace/test-gradle-checkstyle/build/classes/java/main:/Users/myuser/workspace/test-gradle-checkstyle/build/resources/main}.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

我想知道为什么？！

编辑（面向未来的Google员工）：

使用--stacktrace ，实际错误是

cannot initialize module TreeWalker - Token "METHOD_REF" was not found in Acceptable tokens list in check com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.SeparatorWrapCheck

显然Gradle使用旧版CheckStyle - 但有一种方法可以解决这个问题！

首先，我建议当你在构建中遇到问题时，使用--stacktrace或-S来查看实际的失败，通过使用它，你会看到确切的失败：

cannot initialize module TreeWalker - Token "METHOD_REF" was not found in Acceptable tokens list in check com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.SeparatorWrapCheck

这是因为Gradle 4.6使用CheckStyle 6.19，现在已经很老了（最新版本是8.11）升级配置以使用最新解决了这个问题：

checkstyle {
    config = rootProject.resources.text.fromFile('buildConfig/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml')
    toolVersion '8.11'
}

结果是：

在Gradle项目和CheckStyle项目中，这个问题都有几个漏洞
