License for Qodana Image Expired

[esafirm]

Hi, we're using Qodana with Gitlab CI.
And we recently got this error message in our Qodana job

License of this Qodana image is expired. Please use "docker pull" to update image.

We can see from our pods event log that we're pulling the image. So we're not sure what to do.

How can we resolve this? Thanks

Hello,

Could you please make sure that you're pulling the image with 2022.3-eap or latest tag?

configure Qodana once and forget about it

This is not possible I believe since there are breaking changes in some versions. For example in 2022.3 the binary is changed from /opt/idea/bin/entrypoint to qodana

So there's no way to use a version and change it when we want to change it?
What's the reason behind this?

If there's no new version released or maybe delayed, how can we deal with it?

It is a limitation of our EAP for linters. Once Qodana is released, this won't be the case. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. If you're using our jvm linter, then you can consider using jvm-community which doesn't have an expiring evaluation license, and you can stick to whatever version you want.

If there's no new version released or maybe delayed, how can we deal with it?

We monitor license expiration dates for our linters and publish new images before them, so there shouldn't be such a situation.
Even if for some reason a license is expired and there are no newer images. We'll be alerted and we'll publish new images as soon as possible (the next morning, if it happened at night).

Thanks for your explanation.

We are currently using Qodana Community for Android that unfortunately has this 30 days license.

Is there any plan to remove the license since it's also a "community" edition?

... that unfortunately has this 30 days license.

Actually, it has a 60-day license.

We will do it once we consider the linter stable enough. Unfortunately, I can't provide you with any ETA.
