Mismatch in no of python rules

SonarQube
1

Hello,

I was going through the list of rules for Sonar Python in the sonar source. It says 54 rules available.
This documentation is helpful for understanding the rules.
https://rules.sonarsource.com/python

When I checked in my Sonarqube (6.7.4) under the quality profile for Python(1.10) I see 350+ rules.

Is there any reason why some of the rules are not mentioned in the sonar source.

Thanks

Hi,

If you expand the Repository facet on the Rules page in your SonarQube instance, I think you’ll probably see 2 Python entries:

  • Pylint - the majority of rules come from here
  • Sonar Analyzer
  • Common Python

You won’t find the Pylint rules on rules.sonarsource.com, because we didn’t write them.
