Code linting using SonarLint VSCode extension

[zazas321]

Hello. To make projects look more clean we use SolarLint extension that helps us prevent silly mistakes.

One of the issues I notice is that I am getting frequent warnings such as:

Code: Select all

	 "call to undeclared function 'gpio_set_level'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations",

Even though I have include:

Code: Select all

 #include "driver/gpio.h"
 

Can someone help me understand what could be the issue and why it is not working properly?

Just to check, have you specified sonarlint.pathToCompileCommands setting? If you run the linter from the CLI, do you get the same error reported?

After downloading SonarLint extension, I havent configured anything, I was under impression it should work right out of the box.


Regarding the CLI, after a quick google search I havent found a way to run it from the CLI.


It is very strange because for example it does not complain about esp_deep_sleep_start() function so it seems to detect something. But I cannot wrap my head around why it wouldnt detect gpio functions

In that case, please try configuring that option. Otherwise sonarLint can't find the paths where to search for the header files.
compile_commands.json file should be generated in build/ directory of your project.

You were right. That was totally the issue.

I have went into SolarLint settings and noticed that it is refering to wrong compile_commands.json file:

Code: Select all

${workspaceFolder}\build\bootloader\compile_commands.json

instead, I have replaced it with

Code: Select all

${workspaceFolder}\build\compile_commands.json

And now it is working properly. Thanks for helping me out. Just out of curiosity though - what are the differences between build/bootloader/compile_commands.json and build/compile_commands.json?
