Hello Sonar Community!
It’s been a big week here in the Community, with lots of help and guidance from you, our members, to improve our products and your experience with them.
SonarQube 10.6 was announced this week, so if you’re on the SonarQube Latest train, be sure to start planning your upgrade. The new features include our first run at supporting SonarQube in a FIPS-enforced environment. We’ve tried to be thorough, but we’re expecting some corner cases, so if FIPS is you, please give it a whirl and let us know what you find.
We’re grateful every time you give us feedback, so 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:
- SonarQube LTS is now SonarQube LTA, but @aravindnss found one spot in the docs we forgot to update. It’s now fixed!
- We needed to fix the tags for SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action after our last release. Thanks @asapo! This is done.
- When we update the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver in new SonarQube releases, sometimes (often) we forget to update the documentation to point to the new version. Thanks for letting us know @anon67236913! The docs are fixed.
- @scott let us know that we broke the
sslr-plsql-toolkitback in October. Thanks! Fixed!
SonarCloud:
- @maikimura had an analysis error a while ago, and their report led us to fix JS-209. Thanks!
SonarLint:
- Sonarlint for IntelliJ (specifically CLion) is throwing an error when checking for reflect. We’ll kill the noise with SLI-1469. Thanks for the report @Maciej_Matuszak!
- Another CLion User, @MarcN, noticed that when the ReSharper engine is selected, analysis of C files is skipped. Thanks for the report. SLI-1467
- Logging failed files after analysis should not throw a null pointer exception, as happened to @Michal_Duban. SLI-1466
- @Pigelvy made a good case for using a different JRE with SonarLint than the one IntelliJ is running under. We’ll make that happen with SLI-1472
Rule & Language Improvements:
- There are some inaccuracies in the code examples for
java:S6204. Thanks for pointing that out @grossjohann! We’ll fix that in SONARJAVA-5056. - Another small issue was found with the description of
java:S6909. We’ll fix that. Thanks for your eagle-eyes @Sax388.
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 recognitions 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.
@Colin, @ganncamp, and @leith.darawsheh
