Web:S6836 not recognising contained elements

Rules and Languages Report False-positive / False-negative...
1

Tell us:

  • What language is this for?

C# / CSHTML / Razor

  • Which rule?

Web:S6836 : label elements should have a text label and an associated control

  • Why do you believe it’s a false-positive/false-negative?

Code (see below) contains additional elements. This is in accordance with the rule description which states:

HTML static code analysis
Custom components may contain control elements, therefore label elements containing custom elements do not raise issues.

(this is typical where you have label>checkbox)

  • Are you using
    • SonarQube Server

2025.4

  • How can we reproduce the problem?
<label>@Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.AllOptions, true, new { id = "AllOptions_True" }) All Options</label>

the label contains a Razor radio button, so matches the exception detailed in the documentation

Hello @marc.free,

thanks for reporting this. Indeed it’s a false positive. I created a ticket to fix it.

Cheers!
