Retrieving issues

Retrieve and view detected issues after your project's analysis.

You can retrieve and view the issues detected during the analysis of any public project. For a private project, you need the Browse permission on the project.

Issues can also be reported in your DevOps platform. For more information, see In your DevOps platform.

Retrieving issues

In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Server, select Issues. Alternatively, you can:

  • Retrieve your project and select Issues in the project navigation bar. See Retrieving projects for more information.

  • Retrieve issues from the analysis report by selecting the reported number of issues.

Retrieving issues in SonarQube begins on the overview page.

The Issues page opens with:

  1. Search filters in the left-side panel

  2. Issue results in the right section of the page

It's possible to filter issues in SonarQube by using the options in the left-hand column.

Filtering issues

In the Filters, enter your search criteria to filter the list of issues.

  • To retrieve only the new issues (issues detected in new code), select Issues in new code at the top of the Filters section.

  • To retrieve the issues assigned to you, select My Issues at the top of the Filters section.

  • To retrieve unassigned issues, select All at the top of the Filters section, open the Assignee filter, and select Not assigned.

The issue cards are listed in the search results in the right section. An issue card contains the following information:

  1. Project name and the path to the code file.

  2. The name of the rule that triggered the issue.

  3. Impacted software quality (in MQR mode) or type (in Standard Experience).

  4. Status of the issue.

  5. Assignee

  6. Coding attribute

  7. Tags

  8. Additional information: line number, estimated time effort to fix the issue, the amount of time that has passed since the introduction of the code.

Information on the issue’s card helps you understand why it's an issue and how it impacts your project in SonarQube.

Navigating the issues

To navigate to an issue select the issue card in the search results and press your Right arrow key. The detail view of the issue opens in the right section, and the search results are shown in the left sidebar. To start a new search, press the Left arrow key or navigate one step back in your browser.

Copying the URL of an issue

  1. Retrieve the issue and open its detail view as described above in Retrieving issues.
