Hi all,

How do you exclude files and folders from analysis for .Net Core projects when using the .NetCore MSBuild analyser?

Previously for non .NetCore projects in the .csproj used

  <Target Name="BeforeBuild">
    <ItemGroup>
      <SonarQubeSetting Include="sonar.exclusions">
        <Value>wwwroot\Scripts\libs\**\*,wwwroot\Scripts\*.min.js</Value>
      </SonarQubeSetting>
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

But this doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks

@ganncamp Sorry for the direct tag, I was hoping you can help point me towards someone who can assist with the above since I have had no response in over a month?

I don’t know if I am just blind and cannot find any documentation or if this is a bug (I have seen some similar questions around code coverage recently)

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Hi Steven,

Please don’t mention directly people only for the sake of getting more attention. I know you said sorry, but still :wink: The mentioning feature is here to help organize/structure discussions, if it’s abused then it may be disabled altogether.

To your initial question here:

Generally speaking it’s best to first manage exclusions via the UI. That allows a clear definition and tracking under the project settings, and can then be fine-tuned if needed.

In order to then troubleshoot why exclusion settings would not be working, a good approach is to leverage the debug logs of the analysis, and use the approach described here:
