Michael Osipov updated MCHECKSTYLE-442: --------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: waiting-for-feedback > Not possible to specify useful ignoreStringsRegexp property for module name > MultipleStringLiterals without error > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCHECKSTYLE-442 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-442 > Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: checkstyle:check > Reporter: Nick Williams > Priority: Major > Fix For: waiting-for-feedback > > > The [checkstyle > documentation|https://checkstyle.sourceforge.io/checks/coding/multiplestringliterals.html] > specifies this example for ignoring certain strings by regex in module > {{MultipleStringLiterals}}. > {code:xml} > <module name="MultipleStringLiterals"> > <property name="ignoreStringsRegexp" > value='^(("")|(", "))$'/> > </module> > {code} > Not only does this example not work, but *no* useful value for this property > works. Any regex that contains a double quote ("), which is required for this > property to work, results in an error: > {noformat} > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:3.3.0:check > (checkstyle-verify-style) on project oss-parent: > Failed during checkstyle execution: > Failed during checkstyle configuration: > unable to parse configuration stream - Element type "property" must be > followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".:94:85 -> [Help 1] > {noformat} > In addition to trying their example verbatim, I have tried all of the > following, all of which result in the same error.
