How to import rules.csv into sonar?

Question

I have a rules.csv file that I downloaded from another site, how do I import it into my sonar?

I do not have credentials to receive the XML file.

Answer 1

I get it. if you SHOULD get the rules from another group, do the following:

• select configuration and select quality profile
• go to the permalink tab
• copy the xml of all the rules you wanted, save them according to
• create a new profile and use the files that you saved as new rules.

Answer 2

You cannot import a CSV file into Sonar. You can import only XML archives for quality profiles or XML rule files for specific tools (Checkstyle, PMD, ...)

CSV is just a way to export rules, but not import them.
