How can we verify that SonarQube for IDE is using the rule set configured on the SonarQube server?

Hi Team, I have bound my project to the SonarQube server; however, I’m not sure how to verify that it is running in connected mode and that the rules being evaluated are coming from the server rather than local rules

This is what i am seeing from SonarQube for IDE logs and the activeRules here is not matching with the servers ones.

Any help on this is really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I believe something about this should show up in verbose logging, if not the standard, INFO logging. Which flavor of SonarQube for IDE are you using?

 
Ann

Hi Ann - I’m using the SonarQube for IDE plugin (IntelliJ) version 11.6.0.

I will try in verbose logging. Thank you.
