Excluding submodule from analasis

SonarQube

We are running SonarQube a a small c# project.
This project includes an other independent c# project, which acts as a common library/submodule.

How can I ignore thise library project to be scannend/analyzed?

Logfile shows:
|build|03-Sep-2018 14:51:23|INFO: Base dir: D:\bamboo-home\xml-data\build-dir\CP-BB0-COMDISPAPI\common.lib\Infrastructure\StepOne.Infrastructure.Storage.FileSystem|

|build|03-Sep-2018 14:51:23|INFO: 0 files ignored because of inclusion/exclusion patterns|

Everything below \common.lib belongs to the library project which shouldn’t be scannend.
Thans for helping

Hello,

Excluding a submodule from the analysis can be achieved by modifying the csproj file. You can find it in the documentation.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the feedback.
Is there any other solution ?

We want to analyze the module independently, but if we change the project file, then it will be never analyzed.

Thanks
Jörg

Have a look at this stackoverflow answer that describes how to conditionally exclude a shared project from analysis.

Thanks Duncan.

Is there any chance to reach the target without makeing any changes to the code?
Whant about sonar.exclusions ?

Thanks
Jörg

(reviving and answering an old conversation…)

If you are building and analysing the common code separately and sending the analysis results to a different SonarQube project then yes, you should be able to use sonar.exclusions to ignore the common code when building the project that uses the common code.
