As the title says, I would very much appreciate if support for Groovy could be implemented!
Our entire codebase across many projects across tens of thousands of lines of code is written in Groovy. We’re currently using SonarQube to get an insight into the code issues and smells, but that’s after pushing your changes to a pipeline which in turn will update SonarQube, which can take a while.
That is quite an open ended question. I can’t really disclose how we are using Groovy except that Groovy + Grails is the main programming stack at our client. And the client has some internal goals to keep a certain quality of code when it comes to code coverage and code smells. That’s why they use SonarQube. As a developer, SonarQube is nice but a plugin like SonarLint which integrates directly into your editor is even better. Because you can see and fix your issues proactively instead of retroactively.
