How to create custom rules for Java in SonarQube?

[priyan...@gmail.com]

I am using SonarQube 6.0 in my project. I need to create custom rules and found the template to create custom rules.

But even though I am not clear about creating custom rule. Help me in creating a new rule in sonar and also need to know about working of the rule.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do you have specific questions that aren't handled by the docs?

Thanks Ann.

The steps that are present in document is working fine. Is it possible to create the rule for Java using the template that is available in SonarQube 6.0?

If so, how to do it.

Hi,

There are some template rules in SonarJava, but I believe the XPath template has long since been removed. Coding new rules directly in Java is really your best bet.

Hi

I am also trying to create an XPath Custom rule to analyze xml files(check for occurences of certain tags within my XML), and it is not picking those up. So, has support for XPath template been removed? I am using SonarQube 6.5

Thanks
Satish

Hi Satish,

XPath rules are still supported in SonarXML, but we no longer provide an SSLR toolkit for XML because there are a number of XPath testers, including several interactive sites, which should help you tune your XPath expression to match the expected XML code.

Thanks for your very  quick response, Ann. So, if we are trying to define XPath rules to validate certain occurences of meta-data within an XML file and then try to use it to analyze the XML with a SonarScanner, then we wouldnt be able to do that without the SSLR toolkit. right? If that is true, what kind of analysis can be supported on an XML file using Sonar? 

[G. Ann Campbell]

Hi,

Sorry, I confused the issue by introducing the question of an SSLR Toolkit. Let's pretend I didn't. :-)

All you need to do is write your XPath expression (possibly with the help of an XPath tester) to match your target XML. Then use the XPath rule template to create a new rule instance with that XPath expression & you should be good to go.
