Kolin project scan times dramatically increased today! Why?

To close this thread here is a summary:

  • scanning Kotlin code with SonarCloud takes more time today than before and this is because we improved the precision of the rules thanks to a new engine ; this accuracy is having a cost
  • there is nothing we can do immediately to improve the situation
  • it’s part of our 2021 objectives to make speed a feature so we are actively working to make PR and full scans working faster than ever
  • our Kotlin Analyzer is single-threaded
  • if you want to get bad results faster, you can but we don’t recommend at all to do that
    • the 2 parameters to set to an empty value are:
      sonar.java.binaries=
      sonar.java.libraries=
    • don’t put a dot, this doesn’t mean the same thing as empty
