Planning on using SonarLint to scan Test Automation Java files. Using Eclipse with SonarLint 4.1. While playing with the tool, I noticed that the Java files under /src/test/java are not being scanned. - I am not connected to SonarQube - “Test file regular expressions” is blank - using Maven Anyone? thanks Matt Wetzel ---

Hi, Is the file not analyzed, or simply no issues are reported (you can check SonarLint console in verbose mode to see if something is triggered when saving a change to the file). My guess is that you are using a recent version of Eclipse, that has built-in support for test source folders. And most rules of SonarJava are not applied to test sources. ---

Files are not being analyzed. Using Eclipse version 2019-03 Any way to force SonarLint to look at /src/test/java? ---

Is there anything displayed in the SonarLint console (verbose mode enabled) when you open such file? ---

Test files are scanned by SonarLint, but only a few rules of SonarJava are evaluated on test files: [https://rules.sonarsource.com/java/tag/tests](https://rules.sonarsource.com/java/tag/tests) ---

And the only way to increase analysis would be to move to /src/main/java, correct? ---

How does Java code under /src/test get classified as “tests” by Sonar. Is it based on the directory or a property that can be modified? ---
