SonarQube for VS2022 in connected mode does not follow Source File Inclusions

scaepz · January 13, 2025, 12:13pm

Please provide

Operating system: Windows 11
Visual Studio version: 17.12.3
SonarQube for Visual Studio plugin version: 8.9.0.11507
Programming language you’re coding in: C# (.net framework 4.8)
Is connected mode used: yes
- SonarQube Cloud, SonarQube Server, or SonarQube Community Build? (if one of the latter two, which version?): SonarQube Cloud

And a thorough description of the problem / question:

I have configured SonarCloud to only analyze files in certain folder via Source File Inclusions in the portal. I use two rows:

**/Modules/**/*.cs
**/Infrastructure/**/*.cs

This works in the portal, I only see issues from those subfolders. But it doesn’t work in the extension, it shows issues from any file I view. Are source file inclusions configured in the portal supposed to be respected by the extension? Is there something I can do to fix it? Happy to give more information.

Hey there.

Yes, this should be supported.

I suggest you share the logs

In verbose mode, we should see information like:

[ThreadId 26] [DEBUG] [ExclusionSettingsStorage] File content: {
  "sonar.exclusions": [],
  "sonar.global.exclusions": [
    "**/build-wrapper-dump.json"
  ],
  "sonar.inclusions": []
}

And indications about if/how they are applied to a file

[ThreadId 12] [DEBUG] [AnalyzableFileIndicator]
  Server Exclusions: 
    Inclusions: 
    Exclusions: 
    Global Exclusions: **/build-wrapper-dump.json
  file: 'E:/Git/My.Project.Is.Here/Source/ErrorMailExecutor.Service.UnitTests/ErrorMailExecutor.Service.UnitTests.csproj'
  should analyze: True

The logs look good actually. It logs the settings, and it logs the correct decision. But even though it logs “should analyze: False” for a file I still get squiggly lines and editor warnings.

Here are logs for two files, the first one (PlantMaintenanceService.cs) shouldn’t be analyzed but is. The second one should be analyzed and is.

Thanks for pulling those logs! Let me ping our devs and see what sense they can make of it.

Hello @scaepz!

First of all, welcome to our community!

Is the problem still reproducible after a restart of the VS instance?

Could you, please, provide us the way your settings for sonar.inclusions look like
that inside the file %AppData%\Roaming\SonarLint for Visual Studio\Bindings\[YourSolutionName]\CSharp\SonarLint.xml?

Your setting should look something like:

    <Setting>
      <Key>sonar.inclusions</Key>
      <Value>**/Modules/**/*.cs,**/Infrastructure/**/*.cs</Value>
    </Setting>

Hi, thanks!

The problem has disappeared. No clue what fixed it. I had restarted my computer before without success.

But for now it works as expected!
