@romani the main project deprecated AutomaticBean a while ago with the reference one should use AbstractAutomaticBean.

unfortunately, by doing so, i now receive a CS error:

[ERROR] [checkstyle] [ERROR] /projects/checkstyle/sonar-checkstyle/src/main/java/org/sonar/plugins/checkstyle/CheckstyleExecutor.java:41:1: Disallowed import - com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.AbstractAutomaticBean. [ImportControlMain]

could you please advise here?

[romani]

please add this class to

sonar-checkstyle/config/import-control.xml

Lines 21 to 22 in 8462c9e

	<allow class="com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.SeverityLevel"/>
	<allow class="com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.ConfigurationLoader"/>

and disallow AutomaticBean when migration is completed.

@romani could you please have a look? 😃

(see change https://github.com/checkstyle/sonar-checkstyle/pull/503/files#diff-78a8a19706dbd2a4425dd72bdab0502ed7a2cef16365ab7030a5a0588927bf47)

[romani]

Strange, stable failure.
Restart ci on master is passing https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/checkstyle/sonar-checkstyle/860/workflows/cb6568c7-6dff-48ab-8f2e-9604d26c7f8a/jobs/1040

Something is this update

[romani]

Problem is at this step

sonar-checkstyle/.circleci/config.yml

Line 26 in f69a052

- attach_workspace:

It might not compatible with docker image for jdk 17, try to remove it or check with git blame why it was added
