I've recently added the checkstyle plugin to the project for static code analysis. But after updating the google-style.xml from the latest master, I've started receiving the below exception :

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':checkstyleMain'.

The xml file that is being used : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/master/src/main/resources/google_checks.xml

The configuration for my checkstyle plugin is as below :

checkstyle {
    toolVersion = '8.35'
    configFile = file("$projectDir/google_checks.xml")
    showViolations = true
    ignoreFailures = false
}

The gradle version I'm using :

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 5.6.2
------------------------------------------------------------

Kotlin:       1.3.41

Any help or pointers to as what could be causing the issue?

The problem here is that you are using google_checks file from master branch, which means the latest version, and it may have things which will be supported only in next release. It is mentioned in docs

ATTENTION: Links to config and test in following table reference to latest (not released yet) config. Config might be slightly different from what we have in latest release. Please always use config that is embedded to jar or use a custom version copied from one that matches your checkstyle version.

This is exactly your case, since token COMPACT_CTOR_DEF was added after 8.35 release.

Best practice here is to use embedded google style, which is tested and working fine.

Update (from my comment to this answer):

To find google_checks.xml for some checkstyle version without searching in jar file do following (will not work for very old checkstyle versions)

  1. Open releases page
  2. Scroll to release you are interested in and click on "checkstyle-<your_version>" link above commit hash. It will open code at this commit.
  3. Navigate to src/main/resources/ there you can see google_checks.xml file.

Where can we find google_checks.xml in the jar file? I unpacked the entire jar, but can't find it. I'm using Checkstyle v3.1.1. – Cacao
I found it in com.puppycrawl.tools:checkstyle. I must say, this tool is not very user-friendly. – Cacao
There is a different way (will not work for very old checkstyle versions) --> Open releases page github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/releases --> Scroll to release you are interested in and click on commit hash. It will open you code at this commit --> Navigate to src/main/resources/ there you can see google_checks.xml file. – Backwoods

To find google_checks.xml for some checkstyle version without searching in jar file

Find your release https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/releases

Click on tag name for this release, for example https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/tree/checkstyle-8.40

Click in "Go to file" button and search for google_checks.xml. Use raw format of file.

I followed that approach and I still get the same error – Kerato
