Properties for configuration files are broken

[rwalravens]

Since 5.64.0 properties are broken.

When a configuration file is set as active, the following error occurs:

The Checkstyle rules file could not be parsed.
Property ${............} has not been set
The file has been blocked for 60s.

This was configured for my project (checkstyle-idea.xml):

<entry key="active-configuration" value="LOCAL_FILE:D:/projects/checkstyle.xml:CBSS" />
<entry key="checkstyle-version" value="8.33" />
<entry key="copy-libs" value="true" />
<entry key="location-0" value="BUNDLED:(bundled):Sun Checks" />
<entry key="location-1" value="BUNDLED:(bundled):Google Checks" />
<entry key="location-2" value="LOCAL_FILE:D:/projects/checkstyle.xml:CBSS" />
<entry key="property-2.checkstyle.suppressions.file" value="D:\projects\checkstyle-suppressions.xml" />
<entry key="scan-before-checkin" value="false" />
<entry key="scanscope" value="JavaOnlyWithTests" />
<entry key="suppress-errors" value="false" />

Since 5.64.0, in the settings screen, the value of property-2 is not shown anymore, and when altered, it is not serialized anymore.

Ah bugger, that part was touched by the pull request in 5.64. I’ll withdraw the release until I can have a look - thanks very much for letting me know!

A good start at least - I can reproduce this. It appears to be related to active configurations only - the values are set correctly from the properties window, but if you quite and restart then they are not loaded. If the configurations are inactive then they are loaded.

Fixed in 5.65.0.
