Configuring SonarLint in VSCode

SonarQube for IDE VS Code
1

hello,

What are the steps to integrate sonarlint in VScode?

2

Hello, thanks for asking! (I took the liberty to move your help request to a separate post in the appropriate category and remove the duplicate post).

The first step is to install the extension. The easiest way is to use VSCode’s built-in “Extensions” view:

  1. Click on the “Extensions” icon
  2. In the input box on the top, enter “sonarlint”
  3. Click the “Install” button

01-sonarlint-install

:warning: If this doesn’t work, you can also install SonarLint’s manually using the VSIX file

Once SonarLint is installed, you should see:

  1. A new pane in the “Explorer” view, titled “SonarLint Rules”, listing all rules that are available out-of-the-box
  2. Issues underlined in your source code for selected languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java and HTML
  3. Problems with the sonarlint(rule:id) tag in the problems view

You will also notice a new “SonarLint” category in the “Settings”, with a short description of how each property affects SonarLint’s behavior:

I hope this helps with the very first steps.

Please feel free to ask if you need further assistance on specific topics :slight_smile:

Many thanks

The current situation (mid-June 2020) on supported IDE versions is:

  • Eclipse Photon and above
  • Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
  • VSCode 1.37 and above
  • IntelliJ 2018.3 and above

I don’t have Visual Studio installed on my box right now, but I believe the installation experience is quite similar.

Additionally, the wiki has some documentation on how to configure SonarLint for Visual Studio.

Hello, it looks like your code has a syntax error at line 10. SonarLint’s Java analyzer won’t report issues on files it cannot parse.

Hi @padma_priyakantipaka,
Did you manage to visualize the Sonarlist alerts in the VSCode? I just started that adventure and I’m in the same problem, if you share me your results please.
