Experiences with SonarLint in CLion with bazel

SonarLint IntelliJ Platform
1

Please provide

  • Operating system: ubuntu 20.04
  • SonarLint plugin version: 8.1.0
  • Programming language you’re coding in: cC++
  • Is connected mode used:
    • Connected to SonarCloud or SonarQube (and which version): SonarQube

And a thorough description of the problem / question:

Has anyone experience how to set up SonarLint within CLion on a bazel project.
So far I was able to install the SonarLint plugin, connect to the SonarQube server and bind to a porject. When I hit the run button, nothing happens, i.e. no findings appear (which are actually listed on the server). Do I have to set some parameters? I imagine so (e.g. project root, build command…)
If yes, which ones are needed, I was not able to find any documentation on the parameters yet.

Thanks for your help.

Hello @peterpedron,

First could you enable verbose logging and share them with us ?

Hi,

I have the same issue. Apparently the “compiler” used is a wrapper, which isn’t avaible when SonarLint tries to run the analysis

This is an anonymized verbose log of a header file
