How to search for a specific rule in sonarqube gui

[eraonel (Mikael Petterson)]

Hi,

This is a general question. I just installed 4.0.5 the sonar spotbugs release in our sonar instance 8.9 Installation was successful.There are some new rules added in spotbugs like:

DCN_NULLPOINTER_EXCEPTION, REFL_REFLECTION_INCREASES_ACCESSIBILITY_OF_CLASS, MC_OVERRIDABLE_METHOD_CALL_IN_CLONE, MC_OVERRIDABLE_METHOD_CALL_IN_CONSTRUCTOR, EOS_BAD_END_OF_STREAM_CHECK, MS_EXPOSE_BUF, EI_EXPOSE_BUF, EI_EXPOSE_STATIC_BUF2, EI_EXPOSE_BUF2

I want to check that they are included. I tried to search for these strings but I was not successful.
Any hints of how I can find these in the FB profile? What should I search for?

Hi mike,

Generally, rule keys should work in the search on the rules page. Since those searches aren’t working, I guess they weren’t assigned as the rule keys in SonarQube(?). I guess you’re going to have to search by representative phrases and comb through the results manually.

I checked a rule, not the one I am looking for, that exists.

tried to search for it IL_CONTAINER_ADDED_TO_ITSELF

I do the same for others but without any luck.

Could you show me how you search?

I also checked the rule keys in sonarqube/spotbugs uplift commmit:

Issue #376 bump up SpotBugs to 4.4.0 (#379)

and they seem to use the name that I tried to search for. Is it a bug that you cannot search for keys.

Hey there.

You’re attempting to use the global project search (which is why the default text says “Search for projects”. Try this search field instead:
