Quality profile contains duplicates

[peter....@gmail.com]

Hi all,

is it possible to duplicate a rule with a different configuration?

Specifically, I need to duplicate the checkstyle:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.SeparatorWrapCheck rule to check for correct line wrapping: comma has to be at the end of line and dot and double colon at new line. Checkstyle itself can be configured as such, however I cannot find any resources about how to achieve the same thing in SonarQube Quality Profiles.

My profile XML looks like this now and it's rejected by SonarQube with the following message:

The quality profile cannot be restored as it contains duplicates for the following rules: checkstyle:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.SeparatorWrapCheck

    <rule>
      <repositoryKey>checkstyle</repositoryKey>
      <key>com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.SeparatorWrapCheck</key>
      <priority>CRITICAL</priority>
      <parameters>
        <parameter>
          <key>tokens</key>
          <value>COMMA</value>
        </parameter>
        <parameter>
          <key>option</key>
          <value>eol</value>
        </parameter>
      </parameters>
    </rule>
    <rule>
      <repositoryKey>checkstyle</repositoryKey>
      <key>com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.SeparatorWrapCheck</key>
      <priority>MAJOR</priority>
      <parameters>
        <parameter>
          <key>tokens</key>
          <value>DOT,METHOD_REF</value>
        </parameter>
        <parameter>
          <key>option</key>
          <value>nl</value>
        </parameter>
      </parameters>
    </rule>

Is there any way how to tell SonarQube to treat the configuration as two separate rules?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

That kind of functionality is only available for template rules. I'm not familiar with the Checkstyle rule set, but off hand I'm going to guess it's not a template rule. Your best bet would be to contact the Checkstyle maintainers here: https://github.com/checkstyle/sonar-checkstyle
