Missing null pointer related rule

SonarQube Server / Community Build
, , ,

Hi Everyone,

We recently upgraded sonarQube v8.9.6LTS to 9.9LTS.

We are using the SonarQube Community Version 9.9.1 (build 69595) and We see that the below new code is not reporting the possibility of a NullPointer because null check hasn’t happened on objA or objA.member1.

if ( objA.member1.getValue().equals(“X”) ) {
…
}

How Can I understand if there have been changes to the active rules configured for a specific sonarQube version so that I can deepdive and understand why this is happening?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

If you’re asking how you can see changes to the Quality Profile, there’s a changelog you can get to from the profile’s page, E.G.. If you’re asking about changes to the rules themselves, that’s far less straightforward, but it’s available in Jira.
