Click on Other in Options hangs Visual Studio

SonarQube for IDE Visual Studio
1
  • Operating system: Windows 10 (up to date)
  • Visual Studio version: 2022 (up to date)
  • SonarLint plugin version: 8.2.2.98119
  • Programming language you’re coding in: C#
  • Is connected mode used: no

All the time, when I have a solution with projects open, if I go to Visual Studio’s Tools menu, Select Options, then SonarLint on the left and finally I click on Other under, the waiting icon activates and the dialog hangs and gets “Not responding” text in its title. Visual Studio is not responding in Task Manager either. It doesn’t recover from this any more, I have to kill it.
This doesn’t happen with no projects open.

Today I noticed in the output window of SonarLint an error:
[SLCORE] Illegal character in path at index 135: file:///C:/Work/blabla/Properties/DataSources/blabla-QueryResult%601[].datasource
I searched this path and found it in one of the project files, removed it (wasn’t used anyway) and now Visual Studio won’t hang any more when I click on Other (under SonarLint).
Maybe it helps someone…

Edit: I also set SONAR_NODEJS_PATH in Environment Variables, so now I’m not sure which one fixed it…

Hello @mBardos76,

Thank you for reporting this problem!
I have created a ticket in which we will try to address the problem in the next version of SonarLint (8.3).
