Hi, I have tried before, but IMO this needs to be pushed further and the real urgency has not been sufficiently appreciated - the forum has a bunch of related postings. [image] Restriction of the download of scanner plugins to those essentially needed SonarQube Hi, we’r…

Hello @anon67236913 , Thanks for the feedback. In the context of improving the performance of the scanner and not spending time downloading plugins for nothing, we did attempt to make the Scanner clever enough to guess which plugins are required or not according to the files that will be analyzed. …

Hi Alex, the first step would be to provide a label to mark a plugin as scanner-relevant yes | no. This would already prevent e.g. monitoring or reporting plugins from being downloaded. Is this the goal of [SONAR-16633] - Jira ’ Split plugins in scanner context’ ? The decision which language p…

trying to correlate this idea with things i experienced in the past: i experienced failing analysis because a scanner(/plugin?) could not work because of $reason (exception/formatting/charset(?)/idontknowanymore) would this envisioned serverside scanner-configurability also empower me to disable …

Hi Alex, yesterday i’ve updated to Sonarqube Enterprise 9.7.1 - as we go with the latest version to use the latest/greatest features - and the update itself went smooth, but it was ‘socket timeout day’ again :frowning: A lot of calls from the dev teams: “It seems Sonarqube is down” “Does Jenki…

Hi, trying to push that again. That’s my greatest pain point right now, in fact it’s a PITA. Is this problem being actively pursued or am I on my own? Do I really need to implement some weird workarounds by manually adding the jars to the scanner cache ?! I’m really disappointed that there is …

Hi, i do not want to take anything away or derail from Gilberts postings. I also see his points as valid reasoning. Concerning your request for feedback in the end of your posting: [image] Alexandre Gigleux: The underlying need here is to be in control of what will be downloaded/executed on Sc…

Hello folks, I think the need is clarified enough and makes sense. As looking for a specific solution (using global/project/scanner settings, or flag at plugin level, or another solution), I think it can be handled by the SonarQube team to decide what makes sense. I created SONAR-19996 to track th…

Hello Pierre, always good to get prompt feedback. Thank you for that. I skimmed through the jira ticket and would like to offer you one more scenario that would benefit from bespoken configurability of plugin usage: Say there is something which makes a used plugin behave erratic (say, a bug in UT…
