Permission Exceptions in SonarQube for IDE on startup, no TypeScript Analysis

NPlot · May 1, 2025, 1:57pm

Please provide

Operating system: Windows 10 enterprise
SonarQube for IntelliJ plugin version:10.22.0.81244
IntelliJ version: 2024.3.5
Programming language you’re coding in: Various including TypeScript
Is connected mode used: Yes
- SonarQube Cloud, SonarQube Server, or SonarQube Community Build? (if one of the latter two, which version?): SonarQube Server - Version 9.9.4 (build 87374)

And a thorough description of the problem / question: Was able to successfully use Sonarqube for IDE to scan code in Intellij in connected mode using personal project token, however it only used the ‘standard’ set of languages, when analyzing TypeScript, no results were shown. Successfully scanning and pushing results to server via Jenkins via Maven goal, including now the TypeScript Code. Modified Server project to include Quality profile for TypeScript. Immediately after adding the TypeScript code started seeing TypeScript analysis results in IntellIJ sonar for IDE, ie. it was picking up the TS profile. A few days later, with no obvious changes began receiving errors when starting intellij (shown below) and the TypeScript analysis no longer works in Intellij. The token will not expire until next year. Summarized Exceptions:

I also noticed that when starting up Intellij I get this pop up: “SonarQube for IDE requires Node.js runtime version 18.17.0 or later to analyze TypeScript code. Current version is 16.13.2.
Please configure the Node.js path in the SonarQube for IDE settings.” even though, I have configured the plugin scan to use node at: xxx/nvm\v20.15.1\node.exe

NPlot · May 1, 2025, 4:28pm

It seems the exceptions may be a red herring. What I’ve found is that if I use nvm to switch to node version 20.x, running the TS scan works, even after I restart IntellIJ. If i switch back to 16 it stops working. The plugin doesnt seem to be properly picking up the configuration pointing to node 20.x, but my angular code requires to stay for now on v16.x.

eray.felek · May 2, 2025, 3:18pm

Hi @NPlot,

From the exception it looks like your token might be either expired or you might not have the access right to that project. Could you try re-create the token and make sure you have access rights for that specific project. For the node, can you share what you see in this part of the settings:

NPlot · May 2, 2025, 3:45pm

Hi - thanks for the response - my original question had to do with the exceptions but my 2 subsequent posts have made me realize that while the exceptions may be causing an issue, the TypeScript is related to the node version not being picked up by the plugin. Here’s the plugin setting:

I tried this again: I restarted intellij when my global node is 16 and the typescript wont work. If i close intellij and change my node to 20.x and then restart intellij, it starts working. but then switching back to 16 causes the scan to stop working again.

i have tried also revoking the token and creating a new one, this doesnt fix the exceptions or resolve the typescript issue. as far as project permissions, i dont have full project access so i cannot easily change it back and forth but yesterday i did have the admin give me ‘execute analysis’ permissions (which seemed to be the only thing missing aside from Browse, View Source and Administer issue, but this didnt seem to stop the exceptions…

NPlot · May 2, 2025, 5:21pm

I noticed also just now in the log:

[2025-05-02T10:40:42.838] [sonarlint-analysis-scheduler] INFO org.sonar.plugins.javascript.bridge.BridgeServerImpl - 'sonar.nodejs.executable' is set. Skipping embedded Node.js runtime deployment.

so i manually overrode this by setting a property. those INFO lines go away when i restarted and instead seeing this (truncated for brevity)

but typescript scan still not working…and I still get the error

nicolas.quinquenel · May 5, 2025, 12:55pm

Hello @NPlot, what you need is a User Token, if you use a Project Analysis Token it will not work with SonarQube for IDE.

Regarding your Node.js issue, our setting works as follows:

If you have manually set a Node.js in the SonarQube for IDE settings, it will always use this value
Else:
- If you are using WebStorm and you have a Node.js set in the IDE settings, it will use this one
- Else, it will automatically use the Node.js from your path

What I suggest is that you manually select the path of the Node.js you want to use with SonarQube for IDE:

so i manually overrode this by setting a property

I suggest not overriding such properties. If you still notice any issue, please send us the full SQ:IDE logs from the startup of the IDE. You should see the following:

The usage of User Token has resolved the Exceptions, thanks!

still looking at the typescript…

So after startup, i then go to the plugin and just view the configuration, but i dont make any changes. The logs then show this (abbreviated to show relevant):

 [2025-05-05T14:40:09.86] [SonarLint Server RPC request executor] DEBUG sonarlint - Node.js path provided by configuration: C:\Users\nplotnik\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v20.15.1\node.exe

and then i run a scan on the .ts file and it has the logs shown in the uploaded file.
new 2.log (105.7 KB)

the scan still doesnt show any of the issues.

If you like i can change my nvm active version to 20.x and then try again and show the logs.

nicolas.quinquenel · May 16, 2025, 12:19pm

Hey @NPlot, I apologize for the late reply on our side.

I managed to reproduce the issue you described, and you were effectively right. It seems that we still use the default Node.js and not the one saved in the settings upon restart.

I created this bug ticket that we will tackle ASAP, thanks for your help.

NPlot · May 16, 2025, 12:42pm

Thank you so much for finding this and letting me know.
