Metadata

The metadata tab shows recipe information that is stored as part of the recipe.

Name

The name/title of the recipe. There is no restriction on the characters that can be used.

Short description

The description that is shown as tooltip on elements marked by this recipe.

Level

The severity level of the marking. The options are: info, warning, error, marked_information and compliant.

• compliant recipes are never visibly marked in the IDE. They are meant to search for "good code", and it is meant to track compliant code usage if metrics are enabled.

• marked_information is like information, but slightly more visible (blue underlining instead of light grey)

Only mark on new code

If checked, markings will only be added to new code. Code is considered to be new based on the status in the code versioning tool used in the project.

Enable

If checked, the recipe is enabled and will add markings to the code.
