### 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 ☝ for detailed instructions to get these logs._
