Sonarlint and Detekt Plugin for kotlin projects

[andre.d (André Diegues Rodrigues)]

Hi team!

I’m using sonarqube enterprise version and I implemented sonarqube for one specific microservice developed in Kotlin. Along with sonarqube, I’m using detekt plugin to have more kotlin rules being analyzed by SonarQube.

So… When I build my project and run my pipelines, sonar is displaying all errors/warnings related to detekt properly.

However, I would like to have this feedback before running my pipeline to fix the errors during the development, and for that, I’m trying to use SonarLint.

Therefore, I configured my project to connect with sonarqube remotely and the connection is ok, but the errors related to detekt plugin alerted in my pipeline are not presented locally.

It should be necessary to add some more additional settings for sonarLint work along with detekt? Is it possible to present these errors with sonarLint?

• SonarQube Enterprise Version: 9.9.0.65466
• SonarLint Version (Intellij IDEA): 8.2.0.68615
• Detekt Plugin: 1.23.0-RC3

Thanks a lot!!

Hey there.

@Julien_HENRY

Why are some issues reported by SonarQube/SonarCloud, but not in SonarLint (even with connected mode)?

1. Third-party analyzers are not executed in SonarLint
   Some issues may be reported in SonarQube by a plugin leveraging a third-party analyzer (PMD, Checkstyle, ESLint, PyLint, …). SonarLint will only run rules from SonarSource analyzers including custom rules extending SonarSource analyzers . Third-party analyzers usually have their own IDE integration, so we have no plan to run them in SonarLint.

You’re probably interested in this IntelliJ extension to complement SonarLint: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10761-detekt
