How to ignore/suppress mailto, "Track lack of copyright and license headers"

SonarQube
1

I don’t have any mail address for the project that’s why I don’t want to add mailto line. It will be a public repository and I want to scan it with sonarqube before publishing it. But I always get this code smell issue go:S1451 “Add or update the header of this file”. So how to succeed on this issue without adding mailto line. Is there any way to make it?

This is my license reference and each go files contain it to refer actual license file.:

Hi,

Well… that’s a problem.

That rule is intended - not to make you use the default header, giving SonarSource the rights - but to have you fill in your compliant header.

Your options are:

  • somehow get the ability to update the rule set
  • ignore the issues
  • implement an exclusion
