Hi JPK,
Welcome to the community!
FYI, I’ve just moved your post to the Plugin Development/Writing rules category.
You’ve asked why you weren’t getting a response. I’ll throw out a few facts in reply:
- The ratio of askers to answerers in the community is very, very high
- Among the answerers, a few are generous, public-spirited SonarQube users. The rest are SonarSourcers. We all have “day jobs” (to be fair, I’m sure every answerer has a day job).
(I.e. it’s no SonarSourcer’s primary responsibility to respond to the community) . - For your particular type of question, the subset of people who can actually help is pretty small.
- The folks with expertise in building rules - i.e. the ones who deal with specific language questions - prioritize bug and false positive questions (Note not to you JPK but to posterity: Do NOT mis-categorize your question for attention. No one will be amused.)
- There is a large volume of language-specific questions
As I said at the beginning, I’ve recategorized your question, so that may help. And you tagged it with the language in question from the start, so that’s good. Another thing that will be beneficial is to make sure your thread title is as communicative as possible while still being short enough to read quickly.
HTH,
Ann
