Please provide

Window 10
SonarLint plugin version: 4.7
Programming language you’re coding in: COBOL
Is connected mode used: Yes, SonarQube

Since the 4.7 update, SonarLint reports that all the COBOL rules are unavailable in sonarlint, even thought the scanner has been downloaded from the server. Thie COBOL scan worked in 4.6

[Debug - 14:12:01.774] [SYNC] Code analyzer 'cobol' is up-to-date. Skip downloading it.

Hello, welcome to the community! And thanks for reporting this.

I could not reproduce this behavior. All of the rules mentioned should be available in SonarLint. Most probably, something in your environment prevents the COBOL analyzer from being loaded.

Could you please share the full SonarLint Output?

If it is too large and/or contains private information that you would prefer not to share, we can switch to a private discussion on this forum.

Also, which version/edition of SonarQube are you connecting to?

Thanks!

Hi!

I’ve updated to 4.8 version of the plugin, and the issue persists.

SonarQube is Enterprise Edition Version 9.9.1 (build 69595)

The full log is attached

Hello @simon.longpre, It took us some time to understand the issue, but thanks to your report, we uncovered a bug!

In v4.7 of the plugin, we dropped support for Connected Mode with SonarQube versions older than 9.9. And, mistakenly we were expecting all SonarQube connections to be higher than 9.9.6, missing other cases like yours (9.9.1)

We have fixed this behavior, and if you install v4.9.1 of the plugin, you should be back with fully functioning SonarLint in Connected Mode. To be on the safe side, I recommend cleaning up all the current connections and bindings and creating a new one.

Thank you very much for your proactivity in reporting the problem, and of course for your patience

Hope that helps,
Sophio

Just tested, problem fixed! Thank you so much!
