Ambiguous method overloading for method java.io.File#<init>

[rdmueller]

got an exception when trying to run HtmlSanityCheck 1.0.0-RC-1 on docs-as-co.de sources.

It seems that this occurs when sourceDocuments is not set and therefore all files in sourceDir should be checked.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':htmlSanityCheck'.
> Ambiguous method overloading for method java.io.File#<init>.
  Cannot resolve which method to invoke for [class java.lang.String, null] due to overlapping prototypes between:
        [class java.lang.String, class java.lang.String]
        [class java.lang.String, class java.io.File]

* Try:
Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

[rdmueller]

problem seems to be one of the input files. Currently I think it is /imprint/index.html

[thc202]

This seems to be a duplicate of #153, it should be fixed in 1.0.0-RC-2 though.

[rdmueller]

great. thanx for the update!

[gernotstarke]

@rdmueller - is this fixed for you?

[rdmueller]

works like a charm => closed
