We are using SonarQube Version 9.2.4, and Sonar-Scanner 4.6.2.
We have a PHP based project & in that JSON files are also present, we have executed SonarQube for our project but JSON files are not scanned by SonarQube.
SonarQube only scans JSON files in the context of analyzing CloudFormation templates – it does not otherwise scan JSON files.
Some community-supported plugins exist for just analyzing JSON… but they aren’t very full-featured, and won’t provide any rules specific to Azure ADF (just making sure the JSON is parsed correctly, whitespace used instead of tabs…)
