  • steps to reproduce
    mvn install -DskipTests
    mvn sonar:sonar -X
    (Suspect cause: we have some generated yaml files placed in target/classes/openapi, later used via classpath)

  • potential workaround
    tried to disable the Indentation rule for yaml (yaml:IndentationCheck), did not work…

Hey there!

sonar-yaml is a community supported plugin (which here means it is better to create a Github issue on the repo than post here). I’m sure @sbaudoin will happy to take a look!

Hi,

Is there a way to turn of sonar-yaml until the issue is solved?
