Hello,
I'm not sure I completely understand your issue. However, I can confirm that severities configured on SQ side are not taken into account in SonarLint for Visual Studio (connected mode). In VS, we treat all issues as warnings. The reason for this is that
- we don't want to break the build inside VS, while if a blocker or critical issue was detected that would most probably be mapped to a VS error,
- in SQ there are 5 severity levels, while in VS there are 3 (+ issues can be faded).
Breaking the build is only acceptable if there are absolutely no false positives reported. While we constantly aim at this, we are not confident enough to say there are no false positives. The severity level mapping could be done, and will come at one point.
Regards,
Tamas
