Direzione di ricerca

Start by running the documented sf code-analyzer run command with the AppExchange and Recommended:Security selectors against the workspace containing owJobDetail.js and owJobList.js. Investigate the PMD processing error and request a reduced reproduction because the source files are private. Done means both files are analyzed without a NullPointerException, or unsupported syntax produces a diagnostic identifying its location.

Bug Description

Salesforce Code Analyzer's PMD engine throws a NullPointerException while scanning two Lightning Web Component JavaScript files, owJobDetail.js and owJobList.js. The scan produces an HTML report, but PMD does not complete analysis of those files.

The error occurred with Code Analyzer 5.13.0 and reproduced with 5.16.0 using the AppExchange and Recommended:Security rule selectors. I need a complete scan for a managed-package security review.

Output / Logs
PMD issued a processing error for owJobDetail.js:
NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.mozilla.javascript.ast.Name.visit(org.mozilla.javascript.ast.NodeVisitor)" because "this.varName" is null

PMD issued the same processing error for owJobList.js.

The run generated an HTML report with 15 violations (12 High, 3 Moderate), but PMD did not complete analysis of these two JavaScript files.
Steps To Reproduce
  1. From the root of a Salesforce project containing the two LWC JavaScript files, run:

sf code-analyzer run --rule-selector AppExchange --rule-selector Recommended:Security --workspace packages/ondaworx-job-board --output-file ../ow-job-board-security-review/CodeAnalyzerReport-v5.16.html

  1. Observe PMD processing errors for owJobDetail.js and owJobList.js.
  2. The same error occurred with plugin versions 5.13.0 and 5.16.0 on this Mac. The source is in a private managed-package repository, so I have not attached it publicly.
Expected Behavior

PMD should analyse both JavaScript files and either report rule violations or complete without a processing error. If the syntax is unsupported, it should provide a diagnostic that identifies the relevant syntax and location.

Additional Context (Screenshots, Files, etc)

This scan is needed for a Salesforce managed-package security review. I have reproduced the error twice on this Mac with different plugin versions. I have not tested it on a second computer. I can provide further diagnostic information or a reduced reproduction if requested.

Workaround

No workaround found. Updating Code Analyzer from 5.13.0 to 5.16.0 did not resolve the error.
