Sonarlint plugin for PhpStorm consumes a lot of disk space

[soren.o...@gmail.com]

First I'd like to thank your for your work. Sonarlint is a tool I really appreciate.

I am using Sonarlint 2.0.1 for PhpStorm and I ran into an issue recently.
PhpStorm was consuming all the disk space I had left. It turns out that it is because of Sonarlint.
After a few research I saw that there were temporary files stored at the following location : /home/me/.PhpStorm2016.1/config/sonarlint/work.
This directory was using 12Gb on my computer. Each time I'm editing a file, a new file is created inside this directory and it seems never to be cleared.
Is there a reason for this ? I think things could be improved here. For now I have to clean this directory by myself.

Regards,

Sören Ohnmeiss

It is certainly not intended.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue in PhpStorm, though.  I don't find files being created for each analysis.
There are temporary files that are created on each startup, that are not being cleaned, which is a jar with the name sonar-plugin-api-deps[...]. We are currently looking into it and we will have a ticket for it soon.

Could you please post the list of temporary files that you have in sonarlint/work?

The content of sonarlint/work looks like this (I have shortened the list) :

Sorry, I meant the recursive content (output of find, for example). I would like to know which files you have in each of those temporary folders.

...And so on. It seems to be the jar file you are talking about. But there is one created at each analysis...

[duarte.meneses]

I've created a ticket for this issue: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLI-67

Thanks for reporting it.

Are you sure that a new directory is created for each file analyzed? What I see (and what is expected) is that each directory is created each time a SonarLint engine is started.
SonarLint engines are started for each server binding that is used and for the unbound (standalone) mode.

[Sören Ohnmeiss]

Thanks for considering this issue.

I confirm that a new directory is created each time a file is analyzed, which happens almost every time I make a move.

[duarte.meneses]

I cannot reproduce that.
Are you using the connected mode or standalone (no binding to a SonarQube server) ?

[Sören Ohnmeiss]

I am using the connected mode in PhpStorm 2016.1 (Build #PS-145.258) with SonarLint 2.0.1.

[Duarte Meneses]

Thanks for all the information. The issue will be fixed in the next version.

[Duarte Meneses]

FYI I've created another ticket concerning the issue of files created for each analysis: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLI-73

I still can't reproduce but some of colleagues can. I will work on a fix right away.

[Sören Ohnmeiss]

Ok, thanks.
