Troubleshooting

FlexPMD engine - that is embedded in the Flex plugin, suffers from some bugs which can break Sonar analyses. Here are some of them you might encounter if FlexPMD rules are activated in the Flex quality profile that you are using:

• "fb:purpose="styling" attribute in MXML files causes OutOfMemory errors (see SONARPLUGINS-2400). 
  
  • Removing it fixes the issue.

• the following code snippet make FlexPMD engine crash:
  
  • in MXML files:

        <!-- this crashes FlexPMD --> 
        <fx:Metadata> 
                <![CDATA[[HostComponent("spark.components.ToggleButton")]]]> 
        </fx:Metadata>      
        <!-- this crashes FlexPMD as well (note the space between the 2 opening brackets --> 
        <fx:Metadata> 
                <![CDATA[ [HostComponent("spark.components.ToggleButton")]]]> 
        </fx:Metadata>
        
        <!-- this does not crash --> 
        <!--fx:Metadata> 
                <![CDATA[ 
                [HostComponent("spark.components.ToggleButton")] 
                ]]> 
        </fx:Metadata--> 

• • in AS files:

private function foo(partName:String):void 
{ 
  switch (partName) 
  { 
    /*comment*/ 
    case "test": 
      trace("foo"); 
      break; 
    case "foo": 
      trace("foo"); 
      break; 
    case "bar": 
      trace("foo"); 
      break; 
    } 
}
