Using GitHub for SCM Jenkins ver. 2.226 Repositories in Rust language AFAIK both Rust and Elixir (a different story for next weeks) are not ( yet ) supported in SonarQube nor in SonarCloud, but it seems that we might get at least rust’s compiler and linter ( clippy ) output as an input for Sonar analy…

Hello, Did you try to load your results by converting them into the Generic Issue Data format? Alex

Thanks Alexandre, it’s a good approach but needs both a parser from the output we have and a converter into the required format, which don’t seem to available at all, so I guess we might have to build it, but time is crucial these COVID-19 days (war-like scenario) I doubt if we could spare some time…

If this is in the context of COVID-19, things are differents, I may help on that field. Can you share a link to the format generated by clippy and an example of an actual output so I can play with it?

Alexandre, I meant how COVID has changed our company, our performance, and our projects. Unfortunately, this is not related to any studies regarding the virus or alike. Nevertheless, I’m still sharing a sample Clippy output: warning: module has the same name as its containing module --> src/strat…

Hello, Your last message confirm what I found myself: rust-clippy only generates its results in the console and there is no option to ask rust-clippy to generate a JSON file. I won’t personally engage myself into a project to parse the raw output of rust-clippy that may change without notice but t…

Thanks @Alexandre_Gigleux I’ll check your suggestions

@Alexandre_Gigleux , could the JSON format, that @PaberGraham talk about, help to integrate Clippy lints in SonarCloud? I’m interested on it also.

Hello, I’ve got a doubt it will be possible to integrate Clippy data into SonarCloud today, mainly because SonarCloud doesn’t know the language Rust at all, so I don’t know how it would look like (no syntax highlighting for example). All in all, I believe we should work together to collect your nee…

Just to mention, I’ve made a tool cargo-sonar that just do that: converting between rust tooling ecosystem and sonar generic issues. See Add Rust language support - #37 by woshilapin for more information.

Clippy has option --message-format json that maybe could help.
