How to disable todo warnings in sonarlint plugin for IntelliJ?

The SonarLint plugin for Intellij gives warnings for TODOs as well.

By default Intellij highlights TODOs and displays them in a Commit Dialog as well. SonarLint highlighting it again is redundant.

Also, it suppresses one useful feature of Intellij - Intellij highlights TODOs with blue colour which is easier to recognize and scroll to.

Because of the SonarLint plugin, this feature is suppressed. So, I want to disable sonarlint warnings for to-do items only. How can I do that?

Solution

  • AFAIK, you can not ignore rules using the SL (SonarLint) plugin alone.

    In order to do so, you must connect to a SQ (SonarQube) server.

    The SQ server allows you not only to ignore all the instances of a single rule, but rather to ignore specific instances and allow other instances to appear.

    In your case you would simply be disabling the RSPEC-1135 rule.
