Agent Sonar Enterprise Edition

Agent Sonar Enterprise Edition is an enterprise-grade Visual Studio Code extension that integrates SonarQube static code analysis with AI-powered automated remediation. Streamline your code quality workflow by automatically detecting and fixing bugs, code smells, and security vulnerabilities across your entire codebase.

Overview

Agent Sonar bridges the gap between static code analysis and automated code remediation, enabling development teams to maintain high code quality standards while reducing manual review overhead. By leveraging GitHub Copilot's advanced language models, the extension provides intelligent, context-aware fixes for issues detected by SonarQube.

Configuration Reference

Usage Guide

Initial Setup

1. Select Project

   • Open the Agent Sonar view in the Activity Bar
   • Click "Select Project"
   • Choose your SonarQube project from the list

2. Analyze Codebase

   • Click "Analyze Project" in any of the three panels:
     • Security Hotspots
     • Code Smells
     • Bugs
   • Issues will be displayed in the VS Code Problems panel

Automated Remediation Workflow

Option 1: Review and Apply Fixes Individually

1. Click "Fix with Copilot" button in the panel toolbar
2. Review each proposed fix in a diff view
3. Accept or reject changes individually
4. Create a pull request with approved changes

Option 2: Batch Processing with Review

1. Click "Fix & Create PR" button
2. Select "Review Each Fix (Slower, More Control)"
3. Review diff for each file
4. Approve or skip each fix
5. Automatically create PR with all approved fixes

Option 3: Fast Automated Processing

1. Click "Fix & Create PR" button
2. Select "Fast Auto-Fix (Faster, Less Control)"
3. Extension processes all files in parallel
4. Review all changes in Git diff view
5. Create PR with all fixes

Option 4: Interactive Chat-based Fixing

1. Click "Fix & Create PR" button
2. Select "Copilot Chat (Interactive)"
3. Discuss fixes with Copilot before applying
4. Apply fixes after review

Architecture

Components

• Issue Providers: Three specialized providers for bugs, code smells, and security hotspots
• SonarQube Client: Handles API communication with SonarQube server
• Copilot Integration: Manages AI-powered fix generation and application
• Diagnostic Collection: Integrates issues into VS Code's native problem reporting
• Git Automation: Handles branch creation, commits, and PR generation

Data Flow

SonarQube Server → Issue Providers → Diagnostic Collection → VS Code Problems Panel
                                    ↓
                           Copilot Integration → Code Fixes → Git Automation → Pull Request

Performance Characteristics

Batch Processing

• Sequential Mode: Processes one file at a time (slowest, safest)
• Concurrent Mode: Processes 3-7 files simultaneously (configurable)
• Adaptive Mode: Automatically adjusts batch size based on performance

Speed Optimization

• Batch API Calls: Single LLM request per file (10x faster than per-issue requests)
• Parallel Processing: Multiple files processed concurrently (3x faster)
• Retry Logic: Exponential backoff for failed requests (improves reliability)

Typical Performance Metrics

Security & Privacy

Data Handling

• Local Processing: All code analysis happens locally in VS Code
• Secure Communication: HTTPS-only connections to SonarQube and GitHub
• Token Storage: Authentication tokens stored securely in VS Code settings
• No Data Retention: No code or analysis data is stored by the extension

GitHub Copilot Integration

• Code snippets are sent to GitHub Copilot API for fix generation
• Subject to GitHub Copilot's privacy policy and terms of service
• Business/Enterprise accounts have enhanced privacy protections

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Extension not detecting SonarQube projects

• Verify serverUrl and token are correctly configured
• Check network connectivity to SonarQube server
• Ensure token has appropriate permissions

Copilot fixes failing

• Verify GitHub Copilot extension is installed and activated
• Check Copilot subscription status
• Review timeout settings if requests are timing out
• Reduce copilotBatchSize if experiencing rate limits

Pull request creation failing

• Ensure Git is installed and configured
• Verify remote repository is accessible
• Check Git credentials are properly configured

Diagnostic Logging

Enable detailed logging in the Output panel:

1. View → Output (Ctrl+Shift+U)
2. Select "Agent Sonar - Copilot Fixes" from dropdown
3. Review detailed processing logs
