Setting html to true results in incorrect values in xml

[soddencarpenter]

I apologize if I am misunderstanding how these can be used together.

Start with the following settings in a pom.xml

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.github.spotbugs</groupId>
  <artifactId>spotbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>4.8.6.6</version>
  <configuration>
    <debug>false</debug>
    <effort>Max</effort>
   <threshold>Low</threshold>

    <failOnError>false</failOnError>

    <htmlOutput>false</htmlOutput>
    <xmlOutput>true</xmlOutput>
    <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/spotbugs-gen</outputDirectory>
    <xmlOutputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/spotbugs-junk</xmlOutputDirectory>

    <spotbugsXmlOutputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/spotbugs-gen</spotbugsXmlOutputDirectory>
    <spotbugsXmlOutputFilename>${project.artifactId}.xml</spotbugsXmlOutputFilename>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>check</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

In the resulting xml file in the "spotbugs-gen/", the FindBugsSummary will have the correct total_classes (1) and total_size (9):

<FindBugsSummary num_packages="1" total_classes="1" priority_3="1" total_size="9" clock_seconds="1.30" referenced_classes="15" vm_version="17.0.13+11-LTS" total_bugs="1" java_version="17.0.13" gc_seconds="0.00" alloc_mbytes="512.00" cpu_seconds="10.97" peak_mbytes="255.62" timestamp="Thu, 16 Jan 2025 21:14:36 +0000">
  <FileStats path="some/path/badstuff/HeresAClass.java" size="9" bugHash="cb16f806906e6989c3e8fb922aef1152" bugCount="1"/>
  <PackageStats package="gov.sandia.saw.buildtest.badstuff" total_bugs="1" priority_3="1" total_size="9" total_types="1">
    <ClassStats bugs="1" size="9" priority_3="1" interface="false" sourceFile="HeresAClass.java" class="gov.sandia.saw.buildtest.badstuff.HeresAClass"/>
  </PackageStats>
  <FindBugsProfile>
    ...
  </FindBugsProfile>
</FindBugsSummary>

Using the same pom.xml as above, change the <htmlOutput> entry to true. Run the same analysis. The .xml file that is present has incorrect data for the FindBugsSummary, in that:

• total_classes is now 0
• total_size is now 0
• referenced_classes is now 0

<FindBugsSummary num_packages="1" total_classes="0" priority_3="1" total_size="0" clock_seconds="2.40" referenced_classes="0" vm_version="17.0.13+11-LTS" total_bugs="1" java_version="17.0.13" gc_seconds="0.01" alloc_mbytes="512.00" cpu_seconds="13.78" peak_mbytes="301.76" timestamp="Thu, 16 Jan 2025 21:23:46 +0000">
  <FileStats path="some/path/badstuff/HeresAClass.java" size="0" bugHash="cb16f806906e6989c3e8fb922aef1152" bugCount="1"/>
  <FindBugsProfile/>
</FindBugsSummary>

In addition:

• The <FileStats> attribute size for the class shows 0, whereas previously it showed "9"
• The <PackageStats> section under the <FindBugsSummary> is missing
• The <FindBugsProfile> is empty.

Furthermore, running the spotbugs -textui with appropriate parameters from the command line (i.e., not using mvn) generates correct .xml and html.

Expectation:
Turning on htmlOutput should not change the FindBugsSummary entries. It should not remove child sections.

Current Situation:
Setting the <htmlOutput> to true generates different information in the .xml file.
