SonarLint 2.0 for Intellij - Background task hangs indefinately...

[ch...@romack.com]

Since upgrading to 2.0, I have an issue where the sonarlint background task hangs while analyzing 1 of the files in my project.  Any attempts to stop the background task are futile.  Intellij will inevitably stop responding and requires a restart.

Interestingly enough the class being analyzed lives in the generated-sources directory which should be excluded from analysis?

Has anyone else observed/encountered this?

I am running:

Intellij 15.0.3 build #IU-143.1821

JRE 1.8.0_40-release-b119 x86_64 

SonarLint 2.0

Thanks

Unfortunately generated sources are analysed if they are included as sources in IntelliJ.

Does the analysis takes too long, and this is why you try to cancel it?

The cancelling is done on a best effort basis, it might not always work. We plan to re-do completely soon.

Duarte -

The analysis never completes... it just continues and eventually Intellij becomes unresponsive and requires a re-start.  It was happening so often that I have had disable "automatically" triggered analysis. 

Regarding generated sources, Intellij makes a distinction between "sources" and "generated sources", but I guess y'all are not able to determine that from within the plugin?

Hi,

it is an old issue, but I just had the same problem as I read your post. So maybe this helps someone else who reads it. On my side it finally helped

• to clean my project what removed all generated files. IntelliJ stopped the scan after a few seconds (I currently have version 2017.2.6).
• Rebuild the project to create the files again (rebuild was triggered outside from a console)
• Synchronize the Project in IntelliJ
  
• Restart IntelliJ. It then recognized the generated files again and performed the SonarLint analysis, but this just took less than a minute and finished successfully. Maybe sth. was "weird" with the previous generated files...  I don't know.
  

Best Regards,
Eric
