SonarQube for IDE: IntelliJ v10.0 brings additional team benefits when using SonarQube for IDE in connected mode to SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube Server.

Now, with SonarQube Server v10.3, you can open any issue you’re investigating in SonarQube Server directly into the IDE, with just a click of a button, thanks to connected mode. This allows you to leverage SonarQube for IDE’s dataflow navigation, rule descriptions, and quick fixes for efficient issue investigation and resolution.

Plus, when using connected mode to SonarQube Cloud, any issue or status change (e.g. Won’t Fix, False Positive) made in SonarQube Cloud will be instantly synchronized to your IDE, ensuring you can focus on relevant issues.

Also:

• 6 Java rules dedicated to the Spring framework
• 5 Python rules 2 for the Pandas library
• Many new JavaScript and TypeScript rules for React

Lastly, the whole Sonar ecosystem will soon require Java 17 as a minimal runtime to analyze your projects. To satisfy this requirement in SonarQube for IDE: IntelliJ, we’re raising the minimum IDE version to IntelliJ 2022.3.1.

SonarQube for IDE: IntelliJ v9.1 brings a new feature supporting the Sonar Clean as You Code methodology. Plus we have extra rules to detect secrets directly in the IDE, an enhancement to Quick Fixes, and new Python rules for Data Scientists!

SonarQube for IDE is pairing up with SonarQube Server and SonarQube Cloud to deliver the “Focus on new code” feature. Enabled, this empowers you to focus only on issues in your new code (ie code that has been added or changed, according to your new code definition.) Supporting the Sonar Clean as You Code approach, this powerful feature is available when SonarQube for IDE is working together with SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud in connected mode. Learn how here.

In addition, we have incorporated 42 new rules to detect secrets (API tokens, passwords) within your Cloud applications. This enables the immediate detection of secrets in your code as you add or copy/paste them, before you commit or push the code into a repository. This proactive approach not only boosts confidence in your code but also minimizes exposure.

This latest addition brings the total to 100 different types of secrets spanning 60 cloud providers.

Plus:

• An enhancement to Quick Fixes that allows you to preview the changes that will be generated in your code if you apply it.
• 8 new Python rules (and 3 quick fixes) to help you write clean scientific code using NumPy
• 12 new rules to write intentional and consistent Dockerfiles

This busy release brings enhanced secret pattern detection, improved teamwork features together with SonarQube Server, plus the adoption of Clean Code attributes to categorize issues.

Leveraging a new Sonar open-source secret detection engine, this version delivers a powerful approach to identifying potential security vulnerabilities related to secrets (tokens, passwords, API keys). SonarQube for IDE now has the capability to detect secrets for an additional 22 popular cloud applications and providers.

In addition, for SonarQube Server 10.2 users, we’ve added the capability to change the status of issues that you are not going to fix in code that has yet to be analyzed by SonarQube Server.

Furthermore, we have introduced various product changes in line with our vision of Clean Code. SonarQube for IDE will now report the Clean Code attribute being infringed along with the Software qualities that are impacted.
