New to SonarQube - Questions about Visual Studio 2022 in Connected Mode to SonarQube Community

SonarQube for IDE Visual Studio
1

Please provide

  • Operating system: Windows 11
  • Visual Studio version: 2022 17.13.6 (latest)
  • SonarQube for Visual Studio plugin version: 8.16.0.12791 (latest)
  • Programming language you’re coding in: C#
  • Is connected mode used:
    • SonarQube Community Build v25.3.0.104237 (NOTE: not the latest)

And a thorough description of the problem / question:
So I’m really new to SonarQube, so excuse me if I’m completely dumb here. I stood up a SonarQube Community Server, and have my CICD push reports to the server. This all works, and I see results like hotspots on the SonarQube server page.

Now I set up Visual Studio 2022 with the SonarQube extension. Connected mode connections work and project binded to it. Now if I open a .cs file, the errors from the SonarQube Community Server populates in “Error List”, but only when the file is opened. My question is whether this correct, or should the list of errors from the entire solution be pulled automatically from SonarQube into Visual Studio 2022, so I can actually open the files that SonarQube has detected has issues?

Thanks so much!

I found out that if I delete the .vs folder in the project the issues from the SonarQube Community server shows up. Is this a known issue?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Yes, this is the expected behavior. SonarQube for IDE is a tool designed to help you in the moment, as you code. So it only shows issues for the current file.
