[jeven2016]

I encountered this issue as well ....................
plugins {
id "com.github.spotbugs" version "1.6.1"
}
spotbugs {
toolVersion = "3.1.2"
}

[hongqijia]

I resolve this by changing org.apache.ws.commons.axiom:axiom-api from a newer version to 1.2.13. in my project's dependencies.
But in another project with spring framework dependencies, this issue came up again and never go away no matter what I tried. So I have to give up on using spotBugs for my projects.

[JewelPengin]

I'm having the same issue as well. If I run a --debug I'm able to see the worker is having an SLF4J issue (my favorite).

Unfortunately for me, this is somehow being loaded outside of the dependency tree. If I do a gradle dependencies everything is overridden by my root project version, but somehow those are creeping in.

I'll continue to investigate, but I'd greatly appreciate it if someone has some magic way of identifying these easily.

[JewelPengin]

So I was able to override the multiple bindings correctly (as plugin classpaths are different than build classpaths) and ensure everything was using the same slf4j version. I upgraded to the latest 1.8.0-beta1 of slf4j (since I'm using Java 9). I get pretty much the same error.

Are we colliding with the gradle logger?

[jonatanloya]

Can you share your build.gradle?

[davidafsilva]

I'm having similar issues, but the cause seems to be heap size.

I've already tried to increase it through the maxHeapSize property of the SpotBugsTask with no luck.

My configuration is the following:

    plugins.withType(SpotBugsPlugin) {
        spotbugs {
            toolVersion = '3.1.2'
            ignoreFailures = true
            effort = 'max'
            reportLevel = 'low'
        }
    }

Any tips?

[dclements]

Same issue, with the same ClassCastException @JewelPengin was seeing.

id "com.github.spotbugs" version "1.6.0"

and

spotbugs {
  toolVersion = '3.1.3'
}

[jonatanloya]

The problem is, you have many slf4j libraries

[shekhargulati]

I solved this problem by stopping the daemon and executing the build again. To stop the Gradle daemon, you can use following command

./gradlew --stop

[zxkane]

Similar problem when using latest spotbugs plugin 1.6.2,

:spotbugsIntegTest (Thread[Task worker for ':',5,main]) started.

I'm building a spring web project, this error happened after introducing spring-cloud-contract 2.0.0.RC2 for contract driven testing.

Any hint for dumping the detail error of spotbugs plugin?

[plorenz]

@zxkane I ran with --debug and then looked for stderr in the output

Adding

exclude group:'ch.qos.logback'
to the buildscript configurations.classpath block fixed the issue for me, as I was having the slf4j problem as well

[geekbeast]

For those having conflicts with org.slf4j.impl.SimpleLoggerFactory adding configurations.classpath { exclude module: 'slf4j-simple' } seems to do the trick.

[geekbeast]

For some reason excluding by group still caused problems.

[ThrawnCA]

Excluding slf4j-simple and Logback didn't help when trying to set up SLF4J within SpotBugs itself.

I suspect gradle/gradle#2657 / gradle/gradle#4981

[DPUkyle]

I believe my PR #58 fixes this. Please retest.
