Autofix

Using The Autofix Feature

This feature allows you to execute commands that require CodeVista to integrate Sonarlint to detect violations and get solutions for that violated task in your current coding file. To implement this feature, the Sonarlint extension needs to be installed on the IDE. Follow these steps to use the Code Context feature:

1. Detected Autofix Violation.

• Step 1: In the prompt input box, type the forward-slash character /, the command “/sonarlint-refactor” will be displayed as a predefined action.
