Troubleshooting

Each SonarQube for IDE has it’s own Troubleshooting page which contains information about getting your logs, what to look for if connected mode isn’t working right, and even some language-specific problem examples (when applicable). Check them out and if you’re still having trouble, reach out to us here in the community for more information!

How to ask for help?

Please describe your issue with a maximum of details. We will likely ask you for this information and it’s helpful if you include it upfront:

  • Your IDE flavor/version/OS: example: Eclipse version: 2025-09 (4.37.0) on MacOSX
  • Your SonarQube for IDE version: example: SonarQube for Eclipse 11.20
  • Is Connected Mode used (Y/N):
    • If yes, to which version of SonarQube Server / Community Build, or is it SonarCloud?
  • If you are using the Connected Mode on SonarQube, what are the installed analyzers? You can easily get a list by opening https://<SQ server>/api/plugins/installed in a Web browser.
  • Please include the full stacktrace of the error and logs with Verbose output and Analysis logs enabled. See your IDE-specific Troubleshooting page :index_pointing_up: for detailed instructions to get these logs.
