S5411 FP when instanceOf is used on Boxed variable

SonarLint Eclipse
1

Windows Eclipse SonarLint pugin 7.9.0.66038 for java

The documentation states that S5411 will NOT be raised if already checked for null
The following code is doing a null check via ‘instanceOf’ but the issue is still reported.

if(value instanceof Boolean)
valueString = (Boolean)value ? “TRUE” : “FALSE”;

Hey there.

Is the issue still raised with the latest version of SonarLint for Eclipse, v7.11?

Hey Kevin,

This is a duplicate of this report: S5411 FP after doing a null check. I answered it there.

Cheers,

The reply on Jun 9 indicated this was a duplicate of S5411 FP after doing a null check

I now using version 8.0 of SonarLint and the 91513 issue, of which this was marked as a duplicate, seems fixed but this one is NOT fixed in 8.0. So I think SONARJAVA-S5411 fixed when explicitly checking for a null but not when doing an ‘instanceOf’. Please address. Thanks
