Hey there. You’ll need to give some more information about the files/issues that are raised – such as providing a code snippet, a screenshot of the issue message, the rule ID, etc… A good starting point is this guide: [Report a False-positive / False-negative - Sonar Community](https://community.sonarsource.com/c/fp/7) ---

Hey all. Please start new threads containing the info in this topic. > [@How to Report a False-positive / False-negative](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/how-to-report-a-false-positive-false-negative/37022): > > Hey SonarSource Community! [False-positives happen](https://blog.sonarsource.com/false-positives-our-enemies-but-maybe-your-friends), as do false-negatives, and we’re eager to fix them. We are thrilled when our users report problems, so we can make our products better. What is a false-positive (FP)? A false-positive is when an issue is raised unexpectedly on code that should not trigger an issue, or where the suggested action doesn’t make any sense for the code. What is a false-negative (FN)? A false-negative is when an issue should be raised on a piece of code, but isn’t. … I will close this (very old) thread. ---
