Fixing issues

From the Enterprise edition, you can get AI-suggested fixes for your code issues.

Depending on the issue, you may get fix suggestions:

• In the How can I fix it? tab of the Retrieving issues.

• If an AI-generated fix suggestion is available for your issue, the AI CodeFix tab will appear. Please see the Getting AI-generated fix suggestions article below for more details.

Opening issues in your IDE

To speed up the time it takes to find and fix the issue, use Connected mode to connect SonarQube Server with SonarQube for IDE and use the Open in IDE feature.

If you’ve already fixed the issue in your code, SonarQube for IDE will not be able to find it in the IDE; only matching code will be highlighted. Keep in mind that the revision or branch analyzed by SonarQube Server may not be the same as what you have opened in the IDE. When setting up connected mode, SonarQube for IDE considers the branch currently checked out in the IDE and tries to synchronize it with the most appropriate branch from the server (this is called branch matching in SonarQube for IDE).

To open an issue in your IDE, it’s easier if you are already running in Connected mode:

1. Retrieving issues and open its detail view.

2. In the Where is the issue? tab, select Open in IDE.

Getting AI-generated fix suggestions

AI CodeFix is available in SonarQube Server, Enterprise and Data Center editions and uses OpenAI’s GPT-4o to suggest fixes for your issues.* *

An Instance Admin must Enabling AI-generated fix suggestions to get AI-generated fix suggestions for eligible issues. To generate a fix suggestion:

• Retrieving issues and open its detail view. If an AI CodeFix is an option for that particular issue, you will see the Generate AI Fix button.

• From either the Where is the Issue? or the AI CodeFix tabs, select Generate Fix.

An AI CodeFix will be generated, and you’ll see a diff view in the AI CodeFix tab. If you’re using SonarQube for IDE and have Connected mode set up, select View fix in IDE to streamline the process and see the diff view in your IDE. Then, simply copy and paste the generated fix into your IDE.

• If you are running SonarQube for Visual Studio, selecting View fix in IDE will directly paste the fix suggestion into your IDE.

An AI Code Assurance badge is available to mark your AI projects as reviewed by SonarQube Server. Any user with project access can use the badge. For more detailed instructions, see the Enabling AI Code Assurance on projects article on the Project settings page.

AI-generated fix suggestions are available for a select set of rules in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, and C++.
