Updating SonarLint bindings automatically IntelliJ

SonarLint IntelliJ Platform

Is it possible to update SonarLint bindings automatically instead of having to do it manually in IntelliJ?

Thanks

Hi,

That’s something I have always been reluctant to do, since updating the binding can take time/bandwidth on very big projects. I guess we could have an opt-in automatic update? Also we are not able to detect all reasons for the local storage to become outdated, so manual update would still be required from time to time (or we could trigger an update on a regular basis, even if no changes are detected, “just in case”).

I will discuss this idea with my team, anyway thanks for the feedback.

Thanks @Julien_HENRY . This is infact a criteria that is being considered to select a Linter for our team. I think updating at regular interval is a reasonable option to add.
