Excluding sub directory packages from SonarQube Scans

Hello All!

I can see that SonarQube has picked up couple of code smells after the successful deployment of my application. Upon further investigation I found out that those code smells are getting reported from buil one of the sub directory which is supposed to be excluded.

Right now my sonarqube.gradle.kts have the following property set

property(“sonar.coverage.exclusions”, “/build/”)

And below is my project folder structure.

Main
 |
 |
 |___Directory 1
 |        |
 |        |__build
 |        |
 |        |__Sub Directory 2
 |        |
 |        |__Sub Directory 3
 |
 |
 |__Directory 2
 |        |
 |        |__build
 |        |
 |        |__Sub Directory 5
 |        |
 |        |__Sub Directory 6
 |

My ask is that how or what wildcard entry should I use in my sonar coverage exclusion to exclude only the “build” sub directory from all the directories?

Hi,

A coverage exclusion keeps a file or directory from being included in coverage, i.e. test coverage, calculations.

If you want the directory excluded entirely from analysis, then you should either configure sonar.sources to not include it, or use a general exclusion to omit it from analysis.
