java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.sonarsource.scala.checks.DuplicateBranchScalaCheck$$Lambda$5577/0x00000008020cdb00

[Gregory-Berkman-Imprivata]

Seeing very strange error when running sonarqube in CI, not clear what could be causing it.

ran this command in CI:

sbt -Dsonar.pullrequest.branch=${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/} -Dsonar.pullrequest.key=$(jq --raw-output .pull_request.number "$GITHUB_EVENT_PATH") -Dsonar.pullrequest.base="main" -Dsonar.login="$SONAR_CI_TOKEN" "service/sonarScan"

Any suggestions as to what could cause this?

This is apparently related to the version of java in use by SBT. Encountered the exact issue, but downgrading from java 15 to 13 solved it for me.

[martinock]

Seems like this is a Java version issue. This is the issue mentioned in JDK.

Since it was said that the issue affects 15-18, I think the solution is to upgrade your java version to >= 17 -- because the commits seems to be applied on version 17+ only -- or downgrade your java version to 13 like @ikexq did.
