Hi

My information

  • Operating system: Windows 11
  • Visual Studio version: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) Version 17.13.5
  • SonarQube for Visual Studio plugin version: 8.14.0.12562
  • Programming language you’re coding in: C++
  • Is connected mode used: Yes
    • SonarQube Server: v2025.1.1 (104738)

SonarLint in Visual studio does not show any SonarQube issues.
I tried creating a empty project and this is what the log shows:

So It looks like it is analyzing something just not showing anything.
I have tried removed the entire TFSTemp and .sonarlint folders.

Hi @Kennet

SonarQube for IDE can execute multiple analyzers per file. A typical scenario for a C/C++ file would be C/C++ analysis + secrets analysis. You may see that analysis is executed without any results because we still execute it even if one of the languages is missing the necessary configuration.

In your particular case there’s a problem with getting the file/project properties from your vcxproj, which are needed by our C/C++ analyzer to run properly.

Does this happen only for this project? Do other C/C++ files from other projects in your current solution get analyzed correctly? Do you have other C/C++ solutions, does analysis work there?

One way to test it is to add a simple //todo comment somewhere in your code, which should raise an issue on that line.

If it is something that only happens for this particular project, could you please provide the source code to us for debugging purposes?

Hi

Thanks for you reply.

No

I only have one project in the solution. So not sure but I guess it would be the same.

No, I have tried with different solutions.

If I just create a new “hello world” windows console application I am not getting any warnings after adding this c++ code:

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World!\n";

    //TODO: testing
    new char[100];
    /*
    int y = 0;
    */
}

I can’t reproduce the problem. Judging by the fact that the analysis is not working for all solutions on your PC, it seems to be a problem with compiler/IDE configuration.

Could you please check that the compiler here was chosen correctly?

From your logs:

"ClCompilerPath" was not found.
"CLToolExe" was not found, falling back to cl.exe.
