Versions used
- SonarJS 6.2.1.12157,
- Sonarlint 4.14.1,
- Intellij 2020.3
Error observed
the matching tsconfig has es2020 as the compiler module option. This is recommended by the latest Angular version.
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "es2020",
...
SonarLint fails linting tsconfig files:
1/3 files analyzed, current file: [uri=file:///<path-to-file>]
Failed to analyze file [[uri=file:///<path-to-file>]]: Argument for '--module' option must be: 'none', 'commonjs', 'amd', 'system', 'umd', 'es6', 'es2015', 'esnext'.
Potential workaround
I managed to setup a shadow tsconfig (tsconfig-sonar.json
) and added a Analysis property to use this tsconfig file for Sonarlint. In the shadow tsconfig I changed the module option to “esnext”. This works but we dont want to have a shadow tsconfig just for Sonarlint, obviously.
Thanks for fixing or helping!
