[sonar-dev] Sonar rule with multiple cardinality

[Tamás Kende]

Hi,

I am planning to implement a regex rule for erlang projects and I do not really understand how can I get a multiple cardinality rules from the active profile...Do I have to get all the rules, iterate over them and check are they with the name what I want? Or is there any proper way? 

With this: rulesProfile.getActiveRuleByConfigKey("Erlang", "B001"); I could only get one rule...

Will the copied rule have a different key starting with B001? I have just started the development, so I cannot really try it out at the moment, and I hope someone knows the answer :)

here is my rule definition:

<rules>

   <rule>

      <key>B001</key>

      <name><![CDATA[regexSingleLine]]></name>

      <configKey>regexSingleLine</configKey>

      <cardinality>MULTIPLE</cardinality>

      <description>

      <![CDATA[ Custom regex which match to a single line of the code. If a match happens, violation will be raised.]]>

      </description>

      <param key="regex" type="TEXT" default="^$">

<description><![CDATA[Regex pattern of the rule.]]></description>

 </param>

 <param key="ignoreCase" type="BOOLEAN" default="false">

  <description><![CDATA[Controls whether to ignore case when searching. Default value is false.]]></description>

 </param>

   </rule>

</rules>

Thanks,

Cheers
