Plugins

In your project root directory, create the .qodana directory.

In the .qodana directory, save all files related to a plugin. In case the plugin consists of several .jar files, you can create a directory inside .qodana and save them there. You can also download and run plugins from JetBrains Marketplace.

In the qodana.yaml file, enable the inspection as described in the YAML file section.

Run Qodana using examples below:

                                qodana scan \
                                   -l <linter>
                                   -e QODANA_TOKEN="<cloud-project-token>" \
                                   -v <plugin-directory>/<plugin-name>.jar:/opt/idea/custom-plugins/<plugin-name>.jar \
                                   -v <path-to-plugin-config>/<config-file>:/opt/idea/custom-plugins/<config-file>
                            

                                docker run \
                                   -v <project-directory>:/data/project/ \
                                   -e QODANA_TOKEN="<cloud-project-token>" \
                                   -v <plugin-directory>/<plugin-name>.jar:/opt/idea/custom-plugins/<plugin-name>.jar \
                                   -v <path-to-plugin-config>/<config-file>:/opt/idea/custom-plugins/<config-file>
                                   <linter>
