For Eclipse, you can get it directly from the Eclipse Marketplace, and it will then detect new bugs and quality issues as you code (in Java, JavaScript, PHP and Python). It is open source, totally free and supports multiple IDE flavors. SonarLint is an IDE extension that helps you detect and fix quality issues as you write code.

And along the journey of offering CI-friendly tools (SonarQube and SonarCloud, enabling Continuous Code Quality across more than 25 languages), we rapidly wondered: what if we could provide code quality feedback to developers earlier in the process? We envisioned a spell-checker type tool that would instantaneously report quality issues when you write code! That's how SonarLint was born. But that means the code must be committed into the repository and submitted to the CI server before it can be analysed.Īt SonarSource, we've been writing code analyzers for more than a decade. Jenkins, Travis CI, Azure DevOps etc.) allow for many different build/test/analysis tools to be part of the pipeline. Static code analysis typically happens as part of a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. Static Code Analysis plays an essential role here. It's about preventing bugs from impacting end users, preventing security vulnerabilities from making it to the open world, and also easing the maintainability of your code. Like a spell checker, SonarLint squiggles flaws so that they can be fixed before committing code.Ĭode Quality is an integral part of any software pipeline nowadays.
