Supported versions

The level of support for a language is defined as follows: 

• Fully supported: Analysis will complete. All the language features are understood and examined.
• Supported: Most language features are understood and examined but the version includes unsupported features. Analysis might break or provide incomplete results.

Versions 1.0 to 1.6 are supported.

Dockerfiles

No NoSonar Support:

Trailing comments are not permitted in Dockerfiles. For this reason, our Dockerfile parser does not support NOSONAR comments to suppress issues. Issues and hotspots must be reviewed in the UI.

Missing Uniform Filename Convention:

Dockerfiles can have all kinds of names and do not need a file extension. For this reason, it is difficult for the scanner and the analyzer to recognize all Dockerfiles. By default, all files named Dockerfile, Dockerfile.*, or *.dockerfile are considered Dockerfiles. If other conventions apply, these can be specified via the scanner property sonar.lang.patterns.docker.
