Excluded folders are still being analysed in msbuild step

It would be preferable if there was a way to just exclude the autogenerated code from build analysis, instead of having to exclude the whole project.

This should work. We have a GeneratedCodeRecognizer which we use to tell if a file has been autogenerated, and we skip that file from analysis. There is a setting to enable analyzing generated code (see https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/languages/csharp/), but it’s disabled by default. Could you please check that setting in your SQ instance?

I have excluded specific folders using the “sonar.exclusions” setting, from the project settings in sonarqube. What I have noticed is that this setting is working correctly for the post build sonarqube analysis step (i.e. the step that runs when you call “dotnet-sonarscanner.exe end”). The folders are correctly excluded from the analysis.

We have this on our internal roadmap to improve (i.e. treat exclusions in the Roslyn analyzer, not when importing the Roslyn results after the build).
