Hi, i’m trying to make a rule in which the version of xpto.micronaut cannot be lower than 4.9.*, however, the rule is not being applied. SonarQube version: 10.2.1 My custom rule: [image] My project pom.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.…

Hi, Well… the rule is built to look at… dependencies. I would play around with it: try setting the version specifically to the one in your pom try moving the dependency to actually show up in the pom as a dependency … HTH, Ann

Hi, [image] Alan Quaresma: cannot be lower than 4.9.* The screenshot of your rule shows a forbidden version of 4.10.*. Since 4.9.0.RC != 4.10.*, I’m not surprised no issue is raised. Based on the text in the screenshot, I suspect you need a version pattern something like 1.0.*-4.8.* HTH…

Hi Ann! Thanks for helping me! The problem is that it doesn’t really work in the <parent> tag, it necessarily has to be in the <dependency> tag. Now I’m going to have to find a solution for this, do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Hi, Your other option is xml:XPathCheck, which is a pure XPath 1.0 query template rule. It’s doable, but a looot harder. And when you’re looking up XPath syntax guides, make sure you stick to 1.0 syntax. HTH, Ann

Hi Ann, thank you for your help!

I switched to the 1.0.*-4.8.* pattern, but it didn’t work either. Is there a problem with this being in a <parent> tag and not in a <dependency> tag ?
