SonarLint with Clion: unsupported compiler MSVC

SonarLint IntelliJ Platform

After analyzing a file using the SonarLint for CLion plugin, it will never report any issues. I can reproduce this issue on the default “Hello world!” project created by CLion. Any help on what I might be missing to get the plugin working would be appreciated.

IDE: CLion 2021.1.1
Operative System: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
Compiler: Visual Studio 15.9.36
Using connected mode? No
Log with Verbose output and Analysis logs enabled:

Hi @joseasoler @wrenoud ,

at the time being SonarLint for CLion supports only GCC and Clang compilers. We are going to add support for MSVC in the upcoming future but there is no ETA yet, you can follow the related ticket SLI-545.

Hi @mpaladin, thank you for your answer. I will follow the ticket and give SonarLint another try after It is implemented.

@mpaladin Thanks! I will follow the ticket.

Additionally I attempted several variants on windows. clang-cl is also marked as unsupported, and I get errors with gcc+WLS2 because it tries to use the windows filesystem. Is there anything you’d like me to do with that information?

Hi @wrenoud ,

we have a ticket for that: SLI-530.

For WSL we are going to add support for it, I do have a poc for that but no ETA yet.
