Sonar Community Roundup, April 26 - May 2

Hi all!

Happy May! I hope that lots of you enjoyed a day off yesterday (May 1st is a public holiday in lots of the world, but not in Switzerland or the US).

Like every week, we want to spend some time acknowledging everyone who prompted interesting discussions and gave us feedback to help us continuously improve.

SonarQube Cloud:

  • Shoutout to @TScamell, @Mikkel, and @PeterBa for quickly alerting us to an issue with the latest version of our C# analysis that was deployed to SonarQube Cloud. When importing roslyn issues alongside the SonarQube results (which is the default behavior), analysis failed. We were able to (more or less) quickly revert.

SonarQube Server & SonarQube Community Build:

SonarQube for IDE:

  • There are situations where a user might try to open an issue in their IDE (from SonarQube) that doesn’t exist (or hasn’t been detected) locally. The error reporting here is poor, and we’ll fix it SLE-1179. Thanks @lrozenblyum!

  • SonarQube for IntelliJ can sometimes end up searching for null files when handling excluded files. This throws an error. We’ll fix it with SLI-2007! Thanks for the report @Ahmed-Shehzad.

Rule & Language Improvements:

Scanners:

Once more, we extend our thanks to everyone mentioned here - and those we may have missed - for their efforts in strengthening this community and enhancing our Sonar products.

Please leave your own shout-outs below – whether for another community member or a SonarSourcer who assisted you this week. If there’s someone you think should be acknowledged in next week’s roundup, don’t hesitate to let us know.
