SonarQube for IDE Setup

1. Install SonarLint or SonarQube for IDE

• Open VSCode.
• Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS).
• Search for SonarLint or SonarQube for IDE and click Install.

2. Address Node.js Runtime Error

If you encounter the following error:

SonarQube for VSCode failed to analyze the JSON code: Node.js runtime version 18.17.0 or later is required.

Follow the steps below:

3. Find the Node.js Path

On macOS/Linux:

which node

On Windows:

where node

4. Ensure VSCode Uses the Correct Node.js Runtime

• Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
• Search for Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) and select it.
• Add or update the Node.js path setting:

{ "sonarlint.nodePath": "/absolute/path/to/your/node" }

Replace /absolute/path/to/your/node with the actual Node.js binary path found in step 3.

5. Save and Restart VSCode

• Save the updated User Settings (JSON) file.
• Restart VSCode to apply the changes.

6. Re-run SonarLint or SonarQube

Trigger the code analysis again to confirm that the correct Node.js runtime is now being used.
