Is it possible to ignore rules from SonarLint?

[Istvan Kozma]

Hi,

I started to use the plugin with Intellij Idea a couple of days ago, it is working fine in connected mode.

However for our project we have defined a set of rules (in the project's pom.xml) which should be ignored. I tried to define in 'Analysis properties' new properties but it seems that these were not taken in consideration.

For ex: sonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria=e1

           sonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.e1.ruleKey=squid:S1161

Still, issue S1161 is reported when the local files are analyzed.

Is this normal behaviour? If yes, is it possible to ignore rules in the plugin?

Thanks in advance,

Istvan

Hi,

In connected mode, SonarLint uses the configuration from SonarQube. If you define these properties on SonarQube, it will work. Note that the recommended way to ignore plugins is to configure the quality profile, instead of properties.

In addition, when these properties are defined in pom.xml, they are only visible by the Maven plugin that pushes the analysis results to SonarQube. When SonarLint analyzes the project in your IDE, the properties are not visible, because SonarLint doesn't rely on the Maven plugin, but instead it gets all the build configuration it needs such as classpath and so on from the IDE directly.

As for the Analysis properties view, indeed this doesn't work at the moment for ignoring rules. We might consider to improve that. In general, we recommend configuring such details on SonarQube, and let SonarLint inherit that.

I hope this answers your questions.
