Hi,
I have a question regarding one Sonar rule for Java:
“Public types, methods and fields (API) should be documented with Javadoc”
SonarQube version Community Edition Version 8.9.9 and deployed on web service
Scanner is Maven version: 3.8.4
Java version: 15.0.7
It needs to specify inclusion and execlution parameters according to the rule description:
The default value for exclusion parameter is “.internal.”, but we don’t want to specify any packages to be excluded for this rule. I tried with putting a empty space in the value to override the default value, but it doesnt work, it still takes the default value of “.internal.” .
Do you have any suggestion to not specify anything for the exclusion package? Thanks in advanced.
Best,
Xiyao
Hey @Xiyao_Gong,
Looking into the issue, it looks like your best way to include all files is to set the forClasses parameter to **.
Let me know if that works the way you expected it to and maybe we can update the documentation accordingly.
Cheers,
Dorian
Hi,
thank you for the reply.
I have set forClasses **, but it has nothing to do with exclusion.
exclusion still excludes packages. I set it to " ", but it does take the default value,
so my setting:
forClasses: **
exclusion: " " // en empty space
behaves same as
forClasses: **
exclusion: **.internal.**
in the end i have to do a trick to exclude a dummy package that never existed.
forClasses: **
exclusion: 13ac5204-c58e-4524-a7b0-431bb012da5d
i think it would be good to provides a way to support not exclude any package for this rule.
Best,
Xiyao
