Codifies (A) how to query the bermudalamb SonarQube 9.9 server's web API from PowerShell — Basic auth with token-as-username, the SONARQUBE_URL trailing-slash gotcha, the useful endpoints for triage and Won't Fix transitions; and (B) the per-rule-group cleanup loop (query → pick → edit → build → test → commit → scan → verify). References memory sonarqube-wontfix-rules rather than duplicating the catalog. Frontmatter follows superpowers:writing-skills (description is triggering conditions only, no workflow summary).

| sonarqube | Use when working with SonarQube tech debt in this repo — querying the bermudalamb 9.9 server's web API from PowerShell, triaging open issues for the sql-utilities project, running scan-sonar.ps1 and verifying net-down after a cleanup commit. |
Sonarqube (sql-utilities)
Overview
Two halves: (A) how to inspect the server from a PowerShell prompt, and (B) the per-rule-group cleanup loop that keeps tech-debt fixes from introducing new warnings.
The repo has SonarAnalyzer.CSharp referenced in Directory.Build.props, so every dotnet build surfaces the same rule set the server reports — in the Error List / build output, not the SonarLint pane. Local build is the fast feedback loop; scan-sonar.ps1 is what publishes results to the server.
A — Inspecting the server
Server: https://snrqbe.bermudalamb.synology.me (9.9 LTS). Project key: sql-utilities.
Auth is HTTP Basic with the token as the username and an empty password — not Bearer (Bearer was added in 10.0 and returns 401 here).
$url = $env:SONARQUBE_URL.TrimEnd('/') # the env var is stored with a trailing /
$tok = $env:SONARQUBE_TOKEN # squ_ user token, Windows user-scope
$b64 = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("${tok}:"))
$h = @{ Authorization = "Basic $b64" }
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$url/api/issues/search?componentKeys=sql-utilities&resolved=false&ps=500&facets=severities,types,rules" -Headers $h
Gotcha: SONARQUBE_URL is stored with a trailing /. Without TrimEnd('/') you build //api/... and the server answers with the SPA HTML shell — Invoke-RestMethod happily returns it and downstream .issues/.facets access yields blank output silently.
Useful endpoints:
/api/issues/search—?severities=MAJOR,MINOR,?rules=csharpsquid:S1168,?resolutions=WONTFIX,&facets=rules,severities,typesfor triage views./api/issues/add_comment(POST:issue,text) — justification before a Won't Fix transition./api/issues/do_transition(POST:issue,transition=wontfix) — mark a known false-positive without changing code./api/qualitygates/project_status?projectKey=sql-utilities— current gate status./api/measures/component?component=sql-utilities&metricKeys=code_smells,coverage,duplicated_lines_density,ncloc,sqale_index— headline numbers./api/ce/component?component=sql-utilities— most-recent analysis task status (queued / in-progress / failed).
SONARQUBE_URL / SONARQUBE_TOKEN are read here; scan-sonar.ps1 reads the separate SONAR_TOKEN / SONAR_HOST_URL for the upload path — do not conflate them.
B — Cleanup loop
digraph cleanup {
query [label="Query open issues + facets"];
pick [label="Pick one rule group"];
edit [label="Edit code"];
build [label="dotnet build -c Release"];
test [label="dotnet test -c Release --no-build"];
commit [label="git commit\nchore(sonar): … (Sxxxx)"];
more [label="More groups?" shape=diamond];
scan [label="scan-sonar.ps1"];
verify [label="Query API: confirm net-down"];
query -> pick -> edit -> build -> test -> commit -> more;
more -> pick [label="yes"];
more -> scan [label="no"];
scan -> verify;
}
- Query. Start with
severities=MAJOR,MINOR+facets=rulesto see what's worth fixing. - Pick a rule group. One Sxxxx (or one tightly-related cluster) per commit, easiest first so a late blocker doesn't strand the others.
- Edit → build → test. Build must succeed; the warning count for the touched rule must drop. Tests must stay green. If a fix would degrade clarity or break a tested contract, prefer Won't Fix on the server with a justification over a forced code change — see sonarqube-wontfix-rules for the catalog of rules already triaged that way (S1168, S3925, CS8601, S107).
- Commit.
chore(sonar): <one-line> (Sxxxx)— bang (!) if it's a breaking rename. - After all groups:
./scan-sonar.ps1(needs$env:SONAR_TOKEN). Wait ~30-60s for the CE task to finish, then re-query the issues endpoint and confirm the open MAJOR/MINOR count fell by the expected number.
