SLang

Build Quality Gate Coverage

SLang (Sonar Language) is a framework to quickly develop code analyzers for SonarQube to help developers write projects with integrated code quality and security.

SLang defines language-agnostic AST. Using this AST we can develop simple syntax-based rules. Then we use a parser for real language to create this AST.

Have questions or feedback?

To provide feedback (request a feature, report a bug, etc.) use the SonarQube Community Forum. Please do not forget to specify the language, plugin version, and SonarQube version.

License headers

License headers are automatically updated by the spotless plugin but only for Java files. Furthermore, there are files such as package-info.java and module-info.java that spotless ignores. For those files use a manual script like below to update the license. E.g. on Mac:

`find . -type f -name "*-info.java" -exec sed -i '' 's/2018-2024/2018-2025/' "{}" \;`
