Hi Chia-Ping and Ismael, Thanks for your follow-ups and thanks for finding the root-cause for this, that the problem appeared when the rat plugin wasn't applied when the .git folder does not exist. This is something faced indeed with a new locally cloned repository, while existing local repositories for which a build had already been made worked just fine.
