Let’s discuss what you have in mind!

Try to describe the problem or opportunity you are seeing and why it matters. The closer you stick to this topic template, and the more information you provide, the better chance you have to generate a real discussion.

A few questions to help you:

  • What are you trying to accomplish? filter issues
  • Why does this matter to you? work responsibility: Assign issue to the responsible team.
  • How would that look in SonarQube? Alternatives?
  • How would we know it works well?
  • Why should it be a priority now? it is a 4 years old ticket with Major priority

Make sure to check out our product roadmap as well, to see if your need is already being considered.

Hello, I would like to try to give a push to the ticket
https://sonarsource.atlassian.net/browse/SONAR-12771
It has Major priority but it is sitting there since 4 years.

Selecting the issue pertaining to a certain folder is critical to filter the C# projects and assign the resolution of an issue to the responsible team.
Currently you do not have support for wildcards in the filters and the folder filter only returns the issues found in that specific folder, ignoring the subfolders, which make it impossible to select all the issues of a specific project.

Thank you in advance for your time, and please please prioritize the resolution of
https://sonarsource.atlassian.net/browse/SONAR-12771

Best regards

Hi @sergio.cina,

This ticket effectively sits in the backlog for quite a while due to its complexity and lack of prioritization.
Would you mind sharing why in your case this improvement is important? I have a basic understanding that multiple teams are collaborating on the same project, in different folders. Are you analyzing multiple C# projects as a single entity on SonarQube?

Hi Christophe,
Yes, we are analyzing the whole solution (with multiple projects) as a single entity on SonarQube.
The projects are closely related and each team is responsible for a selection of them.
A recursive folder filter can allow a team to quickly find all the issues they are responsible for.

Or to make simpler cases:

  • imagine a solution with a couple of projects, each of which has a couple of folders like “Views”, “Models”, “ViewModels” etc. and you want to select all the issues belonging to only 1 project.
  • imagine a single project with nested folders like Views/ConnectionViews, Views/DbViews etc. and you want to select all the issues related to Views and its subfolders, because you are part of the UI team.

These do not seem to me like fringe cases, from my experience they are quite a common pattern in many companies.
I hope this can help you prioritize its resolution.
Best regards,
Sergio
