SonarLint Eclipse doesn't delete SonarQube connection configuration on plugin uninstall

[Antti Brax]

Hello!

Description: SonarLint Eclipse doesn't delete SonarQube connection configuration on plugin uninstall.

How to reproduce:

1. Install SolarLint plugin in Eclipse.

2. Create new SonarQube connection using username+pasword.

3. Uninstall SolarLint plugin from Eclipse.

4. Install SolarLint plugin in Eclipse.

5. Create new SonarQube connection as in step 2.

What happened:

- Plugin said the name is already in use.

- The old SonarQube Server connection from 1st install could be seen in the "SonarQube Servers" view.

What should have happened:

- Configuration data, especially that that contains usernames and passwords, should have been deleted on plugin uninstall.

- Plugin reinstallation should have happened as if it was a new installation.

Thank you!

Hi,

We'll review our policy on this to decide if this is a good idea, as well as check if it's possible to do (is there a lifecycle event that gets triggered when we can perform this cleanup). Btw, we're using the secure storage facilities of Eclipse for usernames and passwords.

In the meantime, in case it helps, you can delete the files stored by the plugin manually, by removing the ".sonarlint" directory from the workspace.

Cheers,

Janos

Hi guys,

AFAIK this is standard for Eclipse plugins to not delete any metadata. Do you know another plugin removing metadata during uninstall?
