Hello Sonar Community Members,

Is there any automated way where we can directly copy newly added rules in custom profiles ?

My Custom profile is “Default” Profile but as I understood newly added rules were added in “Sonarway” built in profile … Please confirm.

Can we get notification for newly added rules ?

Hi,

There’s some messaging on the Quality Profile list, but no notifications and no good way to automate this (unless you’re really into scripting, I guess).

If you want to see what new rules have been added in the default profile that aren’t in your custom profile, you can do a profile comparison (under the cog menu in the list of profiles).

To add new rules:

  • Go to the Sonar way profile page
  • Click on the active rule count to get the list of rules in the profile
  • Bulk Change-> Activate in… → [pick your profile]

The rules that aren’t already in your profile will be added. You could then use the audit trail on the custom profile to see what got added.

 
HTH,
