How to Report a False-positive / False-negative

Hey SonarSource Community! False-positives happen, as do false-negatives, and we’re eager to fix them. We are thrilled when our users report problems, so we can make our products better. What is a false-positive (FP)? A false-positive is when an issue is raised unexpectedly on code that should not trigger an issue, or where the suggested action doesn’t make any sense for the code. What is a false-negative (FN)? A false-negative is when an issue should be raised on a piece of code, but isn’t…

Then tell us:

• What language is this for? JavaScript
• Which rule? RSPEC-5148
• Why do you believe it’s a false-positive/false-negative? adding a windowFeatures string with noopener,noreferrer triggers the rule, even the MDN says that it’s valid. Additionally, setting the window.opener property to null as specified by the reference links in the rule info does not work either.
• Are you using
  • SonarCloud? Yes
  • SonarQube - which version?
  • SonarLint - which IDE/version?
    • in connected mode with SonarQube or SonarCloud?
• How can we reproduce the problem? Give us a self-contained snippet of code (formatted text, no screenshots)

    const target = window.open('https://sonarcloud.io', 'noopener,noreferrer');
    target.opener = null;
