Solution Description

SonarLint is an IDE extension that helps you detect and fix quality issues as you write code. Like a spell checker, SonarLint squiggles flaws so they can be fixed before committing code. You can get it directly from the Eclipse Marketplace, and it will then detect new bugs and quality issues as you code (Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python and HTML).

If your project is analyzed on SonarQube or on SonarCloud, SonarLint can connect to the server to retrieve the appropriate quality profiles and settings for that project, as well as some additional languages support.

Discover more at https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarlint/eclipse/

SonarLint requires Eclipse to use Java 17+ as runtime (but you can analyze Java projects targeting older Java versions). For any question or feedback please join the SonarSource Community Forum .

Hello Lizandro,

can you please provide us with more information on that issue? Is scrolling vertically or horizontally not working? Can you scroll when adjusting the SonarLint Rule Description view?

Can you also please provide with the environment you are using?

  • Eclipse Version
  • Operating System (some components are affected by different OSs)

Thank you very much for using SonarLint and raising this issue! Best,

Hello,

In a previous review it is mentioned that plugins can be donwloaded for off-line installations. The site is: binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/

However, it does not seem to work at the moment. Is the site changed or in maintenance? 

Where else can I download the Eclipse plugins?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Daniel,

I don't understand why the message mentions 'uninstalling'. Are you using Windows ? I found a bug report that lists some causes here (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517181)

May I ask you to report this issue on our community forum (https://community.sonarsource.com/c/help/sl/11) ? It will get better visibility and we could better help you.

Hello Kiran,

Thanks for using SonarLint for Eclipse and reporting this. I don't see any reference to SonarLint in the error message that you posted, could you double check installing SonarLint really is the cause of the issue ? If you had the 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software' option activated, could you try to unselect it ?

If you still face the issue, I invite you to post a new thread on https://community.sonarsource.com/c/help/sl/11 so we can better help you. It could also benefit other users having the same issue.

Thanks

Getting following error:

I, too get:

Unable to read repository at (https) eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml.
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Can hit other websites from eclipse and external browner, but both (https) eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/content.xml and (http) eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org are not found. Not Found doesn't appear to be a java keystore issue, as some of the help links suggest. Is something else wrong? Is there a way to simply download the plugin rather than install it from marketplace?

Thanks!

Also having the same issue with regards to lombok. 

Using Eclipse Neon Release (4.6.0), SonarLint 5.1, Lombok 1.18.12.

Error:
When opening a Java file in Eclipse that uses Lombok annotations an exception is shown in the IDE: 
An internal error occurred during: “SonarLint processing file /…java”.
lombok/launch/PatchFixesHider$Transform

Other related posts/forums suggest updating Lombok to 1.18.12 which did not resolve the issue for me.

 

 

Submitted by Felix L J Mayer on Wed, 02/19/2020 - 13:49

We use Lombok (https://projectlombok.org/) to reduce boilerplate in our Java code. Lombok also runs as an agent to show the generated boilerplate code in the IDE. That seems to be a problem for SonarLint as it produces these messages:

An internal error occurred during: "SonarLint processing file /platform-api/src/test/java/com/elavon/eliminator/platform/authentication/LdapAuthenticationServiceTest.java".
lombok/launch/PatchFixesHider$Transform

I had to uninstall the SonarLint plugin because of that.

Submitted by Jean-Baptiste … on Thu, 02/20/2020 - 02:48

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

There were a few reports on our community forum about problems due to interaction with Lombok - see e.g https://community.sonarsource.com/t/sonarlint-eclipse-plugin-eclipse-wi…

Could you please update to the lastest versions of both SonarLint and Lombok? In case of any issue, please report them on the aforementioned forum so that we can track them.
