Custom Dictionary for Spelling Checks in Qodana

[thammel]

Hi everyone,

I’m using Qodana with GitHub Actions to analyze a project, specifically leveraging the AsciiDoc plugin to check syntax and spelling in AsciiDoc files. However, Qodana is flagging certain words as spelling mistakes that shouldn’t be detected, such as abbreviations and words from different languages.

The project does not include a .idea directory, where JetBrains stores its dictionary. Is there a way to define a custom dictionary so that Qodana ignores specific words?

Thanks in advance for your help!

One way I found is to use a baseline that includes all known problems, and then ignores it.
It is a JSON file that you add to the project, or at least reference in the Qodana build. See https://intellij-asciidoc-plugin.ahus1.de/docs/users-guide/features/advanced/validation-cicd.html on how this is one for GitHub actions. This includes also a link to an example reports that leverages the baseline.

I hope that helps.
