SonarTS fails due to file encoding

Question

When running SonarTS on Typescript files saved by VisualStudio 2015 all of them fail with the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 42 is not a valid line offset for pointer.

From this question it looks like this is an issue with file encoding. The file originally saved as UTF8. I've tried UTF-8-BOM, UTF-8 and ANSI using notepad++ to convert the files. All throw the same problem.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

are you sure that when you save files UTF-8 (without BOM) it fails the same way? There is https://github.com/SonarSource/SonarTS/issues/266 which similar to yours. Btw more logs would help — Elena Vilchik, Nov 09 '17 at 16:03
Yes its the same error message. I've edited with the error message we're getting. I'm assuming I should be using format UTF-8 (without BOM) ? — Fraser Connor, Nov 09 '17 at 16:14
I've updated our SonarQube to latest and dropped all encoding files to UTF-8 (No BOM). They no work. I think this is simply an outdated software version. Thanks for the help! — Fraser Connor, Nov 10 '17 at 10:57

Updated SonarQube to latest and switched encoding to UTF-8 (Without BOM) now resolved.

In our case this error ocurred when we had a file with only one line in it and no blank lines after.

We added a carriage return and the error disappeared. We didn't need to change encoding.
