How to disable SonarLint for test projects

Question

I installed SonarLint in VS 2015 and it looks like a great extension with lots of potential.

At the moment the extension is also analysing my test projects and giving warnings about this. How can I disable inspection of specific (test) projects?

Update Its not about disabling specific Sonar rules or projects in SonarQube, but its about the Visual Studio extension SonarLint.

Answer 1

In Visual Studio, open the project and then dig into the Reference section. There choose to edit the active rule set:

In the screen that opens select/deselect the rules you want for the specific project. Then hit save. This will most likely create a new .ruleset file in your project and instruct Roslyn to use that instead of the standard set.

The result is that the project file is updated with the <CodeAnalysisRuleSet> tag like this:

<CodeAnalysisRuleSet>UnitTests.Core.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>

You can also use the add new file wizard and pick the "Code Analysis Rule set" option:

Then from the Analyze menu select "Configure Code Analysis for Solution", your newly added rule set can be selected from there and assigned to the project you want:
