Please provide Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04 SonarQube for VS Code plugin version: 4.29 Programming language you’re coding in: Python Is connected mode used: SonarQube Server And a thorough description of the problem / question: Plugin stopped working The Java Runtime Environment can not be…

We have not changed anything regarding startup / JRE path detection in the latest release. Could it be that when you updated, a ‘Universal’ version of the plugin (without embedded JRE) was installed for some reason? To test the theory, you could download the Linux (or your respective platform) VSIX…

After downloading from GitHub extension is working fine with version 4.29.

You know, after I manually added the Java path to the ‘sonarlint.ls.javaHome’ parameter in the VSCode settings, it worked.

Interesting! Thanks a lot @Michal.Klich & @Stanislau_25 . Let’s see what others say. As you see on our releases page, we ship 4 platform-specific packages with embedded JREs, and one universal package without the JRE. Then, it’s up to the VSCode’s plugin update logic to deduce the target platform an…

After manually setting “sonarlint.ls.javaHome” in Remote[SSH: ] settings.json. It works in remote development. That is not a requirement in 4.28.0 but in 4.29.0.

With 4.28.0, Remote SSH is using sonarsource java to execute the command. 2025-08-20 14:20:13.909 [info] Executing /usr/home/mlam/.vscode-server/extensions/sonarsource.sonarlint-vscode-4.28.0-linux-x64/jre/21.0.8-linux-x86_64.tar/bin/java -jar /usr/home/mlam/.vscode-server/extensions/sonarsource.so…

Thanks a lot for the details @MT_L :woman_bowing: I am still guessing that for some reason, at the moment that you updated, VS Code could not correctly determine the target OS and installed a distribution without the embedded JRE. So to fix the issue you will either need to specify sonarlint.ls.jav…

Thanks for the details, @Azia_Seye ! :woman_bowing: Please try to manually upgrade as described here . The reason can be found here . From the example you provided, the javaHome setting is, I think, incorrect. The sonarlint.ls.javaHome setting needs path to the directory where JRE was installed. Outp…
