SonarLint for Atom
⚠️ SonarLint for Atom is now decommissioned.
See the community announcement for more details
SonarLint is an IDE extension that helps you detect and fix quality issues as you write code in JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP and Python.
How it works
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 that they can be fixed before committing code. You can get it directly from the ATOM Marketplace, and it will then detect new bugs and quality issues as you code (JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP and Python).
Issues are highlighted in your code, and also listed in the 'Diagnostics' or 'Linter' panel. Note that only files within a project are analyzed. You can access the detailed rule description directly from your editor by using, depending on the UI tools you have, the provided code action or the link to the rules website.
Rules
Check the rules to see what SonarLint can do for you:
You will benefit from the following code analyzers: SonarJS, SonarTS, SonarPython and SonarPHP.
Requirements
-
SonarLint for Atom uses the language server protocol and relies on some packages to display the list of errors and highlight issues in the code. It works best with Atom IDE which is automatically proposed. But you can also use other compatible packages such as Linter and Nuclide.
-
You also need a Java Runtime (JRE) 8 installed on your computer. SonarLint should automatically find it but you can also explicitly set the path where the JRE is installed using the 'sonarlint.javaHome' variable in Atom settings (
~/.atom/config.cson). For example:
"*":
sonarlint:
javaHome: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_131"
