Could you provide some more info about what is happening, please?

  • What types of project do you have in the solution?
  • Have any of the projects been bound successfully (i.e. a new ruleset will have been generated for the project, and the project will have been updated to reference the new ruleset)?
  • Is the error always occurring at the same point i.e. when processing a particular project?

Thank you.

Hello Duncan,

Thanks for the swift response.

The initial binding was successful and I have checked in the .sonarlint folder in TFS with new Rulesset binded to every project.

But later some developer when they took the latest codebase and tried to bing the solution with SonarLint started facing this Issues, So i did try to investigate and found that its appearing in my VS 2015 as well.

Remaining please have the answers for your Questions :-

  • What types of project do you have in the solution? - We work with .net
  • Have any of the projects been bound successfully (i.e. a new ruleset will have been generated for the project, and the project will have been updated to reference the new ruleset)? - Yes only initially, and later we are keep on getting the error I have mentioned above. To override the error and update the rules I have to delete the .sonarlint Folder and files inside. But the drawback is SonarLint checkout the entire solution projects again even though there were no changes. :frowning:
  • Is the error always occurring at the same point i.e. when processing a particular project? - Yes, Its not at a particular project but for the entire solution

Kindly let me know if you need further information.

Hi Pradeep.

FYI I’ve managed to repro the bug locally. It’s being tracked by ticket SLVS #801.

The ticket contains a workaround. Could you let me know if it works for you please?

Thanks,

Hello Duncan,

I am back from my vacation, The workaround works for us with limited functionality.

SonarLint still checks out all the projects even there is no change

Issue #801 (error when updating a binding) was fixed in SonarLint for Visual Studio v4.8.

Issue #635 (files being marked as checked out even if they haven’t changed): we investigated this but haven’t managed to reproduce it. There is more information about what we tried in the ticket. Feel free to update the ticket with more information if you can help us with a repro.

Kind regards,
Duncan
