Question: How useful is to show all Delphi hints and warnings as issues inside the sonarqube?

[Valdeirsk8]

I'm question it because I think it's possible to import the Delphi build log and create issues at SonarQube using this pluglin.

For me it's make sense because I have a legacy application to mantaing, so if I can see it as issue in SonarQube I can address the fix to my team, and we can see if it's becaming better or worse.

On my C.I (Jenkins) when I build the application I use to generate a the build log, and in this file there a a list of hints and warning tha can be imported as issue.

msbuild PlenusPDV.dproj /p:Configuration=Release /target:Build /p:config=Release /P:platform=Win32  > "build.log"

  (...)
  src\UDataModulo1.pas(3951): Hint warning H2164: Variable 'aStr' is declared but never used in 'TDataModulo1.ValidaDados' 
  src\UDataModulo1.pas(201): Hint warning H2219: Private symbol 'IsNInteger64' declared but never used 
  src\UDataModulo1.pas(208): Hint warning H2219: Private symbol 'Get_ID_Planilha' declared but never used 
  src\URegistradoraAbertura.pas(193): Hint warning H2077: Value assigned to 'TFrmRegistradoraAbertura.Abrir' never used 
  src\URegistradoraAbertura.pas(205): Hint warning H2077: Value assigned to 'TFrmRegistradoraAbertura.InserirLog' never used 
  src\URegistradoraAbertura.pas(235): Hint warning H2077: Value assigned to 'TFrmRegistradoraAbertura.InserirMovimentacaoContabil' never used 
  src\URegistradoraAbertura.pas(302): Hint warning H2077: Value assigned to 'TFrmRegistradoraAbertura.InserirPeriodo' never used 

    6102 Aviso(s)
    0 Erro(s)

In this case I have 6102 hints and warning. It's quite complicated to handle with it manually;

Hi @Valdeirsk8,

With integrated-application-development/sonar-delphi, you can create custom rules via a programmatic Java API.
Following from that, you could create a custom Delphi rule to read the build log and generate sonar issues. 😄
