Hi all!
We all deserve a slower week sometimes, and that’s what we had this week. 
As always, we are grateful for the feedback we’ve gotten this week, and for 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 Server:
-
@veera.tirupathiraju found a mistake in our docs stating that only “private” SonarQube Server projects count towards an instance’s Lines of Code license utilization. “Private” on SonarQube Server means something different than on SonarQube Cloud, which is where the mistake came from. It’s now fixed. Thanks!
-
It’s pretty cool that SonarQube can now automatically detect potential GitHub Copilot usage in a project, but less cool that right now it only works for projects hosted on GitHub. We’ll remove that restriction with SONAR-24705! Thanks @Udo_Pape-Kampmeier!
SonarQube Cloud:
- @Erikas reported an issue where setting SSO configuration worked great the first time, but wouldn’t work when configuration was recreated. We’ve fixed this annoying bug. Thanks for the report!
SonarQube for IDE:
-
Users of SonarQube for IntelliJ should only see the Welcome page once. Thanks for the feedback @leopoldhub! SLI-1962
-
SonarQube for Eclipse behaves oddly when a “new” security hotspot on a branch is already reviewed (having been copied from another branch). Thanks for the heads-up @Jean-David_Maillefer. The fix is in progress.
Rule & Language Improvements:
-
It’s not every day we work on our VB6 analyzer – so thank to @pmaguire for providing perfect reproducers to 4 different VB6 parsing errors. VB6-405, VB6-406, VB6-407 and VB6-411
-
We can enhance the reporting of external issues from mypy by considering the issue’s end column, which can be obtained by using the
--show-error-end optionflag, instead of solely relying on the start column +1. Great catch @wieslander! SONARPY-2745. -
csharpsquid:S3267should not suggest simplifying loops when using LINQ. Thanks @Corniel! -
terraform:S6281should support the “count” meta-argument. Thanks @pclares! SONARIAC-1998
Scanners:
- It’s a good thing that some of our users (like @froque) are using bleeding edge versions of build tools. It makes sure we catch issues like SCANMAVEN-283!
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.
