SONARJAVA-6456

[gitar-bot]

CI failed: The build failed because integration tests and quality profiles still reference the deprecated and removed rules S4792, S6291, and S6300, causing test failures and configuration mismatches.

Overview

Multiple integration tests failed across different environments because the PR removed rules S4792, S6291, and S6300 without updating the corresponding test baselines and configuration profiles that explicitly require these rules to be active.

Failures

Integration Test Baseline Mismatch (confidence: high)

• Type: test
• Affected jobs: Autoscan Tests
• Related to change: yes
• Root cause: The Autoscan integration tests compare output against baseline files that still expect the presence of the removed rules. The generated output no longer contains them, causing a diff failure.
• Suggested fix: Update the baseline files in its/autoscan/src/test/resources/autoscan/ to match the current rule set. Copy results from target/actual/autoscan-diffs to the resource directory.

Inactive Rule Configuration Error (confidence: high)

• Type: build
• Affected jobs: Ruling QA
• Related to change: yes
• Root cause: The sonar-maven-plugin execution is failing because the quality profile or analysis configuration used in the integration tests still includes rule java:S4792 as an active rule, which no longer exists in the project.
• Suggested fix: Search the its/ directory for any quality profile files or configuration manifests that reference java:S4792 (or the other removed rules) and remove those entries.

Summary

• Change-related failures: 2. All failures are direct consequences of removing rules without updating legacy integration test expectations and profile configurations.
• Infrastructure/flaky failures: 0. (Note: minor network timeouts were observed in some jobs, but these were secondary to the primary configuration/test failures.)
• Recommended action: Update all integration test baselines and static quality profile configurations in the its/ directory to remove references to the deprecated rules.

Code Review ✅ Approved

Removes deprecated rules S4792, S6291, and S6300 along with their associated test suites and metadata files. No issues found.
