Problem with sonar.inclusions

[NicoB (Nicolas Bontoux)]

Hi Sergio,

Whether it’s for exclusions or inclusions, a good approach to understand what’s going in the following:

@NicoB

All in all seems like you need to dig down why the exclusion patterns are actually not effective. A good approach whenever troubleshooting logs is to simply enable debug logs of the analysis, and then compare filepaths:

• for the file that you expected to be excluded, what is the filepath that is treated during the analysis ?
• compare that to the exclusion pattern you set, and see if it might relate to some casing/relativity/else

In that case, notice from your logs that the analysis base dir already is Application.MainModule, with underlying paths treated relatively from there (see Source paths), and therefore not matching your inclusion setting.

Now playing with sonar.inclusions/sonar.exclusions not always is the most effective approach, especially in cases like Scanner for MSBuild which automatically infer your project structure. In that case, you might rather consider Excluding Artifacts from the Analysis.
