Sonarlint VS Code plugin problems with "Skip analysis for SCM ignored file"

SonarLint VS Code
1

Please provide

  • Linux
  • Visual Code
  • SonarLint plugin version: 3.5.4
  • Is connected mode used:
    • Connected to SonarQube ( * 8.9.6):

I have created a compiler database json file using the Makefile Tools plugin.
I have activated sonarlint logs.
My settings.json file is approximately -

{
    "makefile.configurations": [
      {
        "name": "MyLinuxConfig",
      },    
    ],
    "makefile.makefilePath": "/home/RemoteVM_Debug_X86_64/Linux.mak",
    "makefile.makePath": "/usr/bin/make",
    "makefile.compileCommandsPath": ".vscode/compile_commands.json",

    "sonarlint.ls.javaHome": "/home/.vscode/extensions/sonarsource.sonarlint_managed-jre/jre/jdk-11.0.12+7-jre",
    "sonarlint.connectedMode.connections.sonarqube": [
        {
          "serverUrl": "https://sonarqube.mycompany.com",
          "token": "210ac...."
        }
    ],
    "sonarlint.connectedMode.project": {
      "projectKey": "ANACRONYM"
    },
    "sonarlint.pathToCompileCommands": "/home/RemoteVM_Debug_X86_64/.vscode/compile_commands.json",
    "sonarlint.output.showVerboseLogs": true,
    "sonarlint.output.showAnalyzerLogs": true
}

My logs show

I think my problem is the “Skip analysis for SCM ignored file”.
So when I open OpenSSLTCPSocket.cpp and try to inject a sonarlint error - nothing happens.

Please advise me how I can get the analysis to actually be performed.

I’d like to explain my own personal setup a bit more clearly in case that might help explain why sonarlint is failing.
I use IBM Rational Rhapsody to autogenerate my source code from a UML model.
Therefore my git files are model files rather than ordinary source files (which can just be regenerated at the touch of a button). The source folder is git ignored for this reason.
Perhaps sonarlint being connected to my sonarqube project is somehow ignoring my source code even when I delete the .gitignore files locally. If I edit my settings.json file to remove connectedMode then sonarlint starts to analyse my files. How can I use connectedMode and analyse my files which git normally ignores?

@shanz1999 just to clarify, the files are analysed in standalone mode, but not in connected mode?

If that is the case, do you have any inclusions/exclusions set on the server e.g. sonar.exclusions?

Hello Duncan,
No I don’t have any.
I have set sonar.scm.disabled
and perhaps after some time, it seems to have begun to analyse my source files.
