SonarQube for IDE ignores file exclusions on pre-commit

And a thorough description of the problem / question:

Hello,

I have set up file exclusions in our cloud connection. However when I run a pre-commit check using the built in ‘Perform SonarQube for IDE analysis’ pre-commit check, the plugin still flags issues in files that match the exclusion.
The log says:

So it seems to be correctly getting recognized as an excluded file.

However when I run my pre-commit check I get the two issues I made in the file flagged:

I would expect the pre-commit check to completely ignore the file here.

Unfortunately this issues seems to be occuring more often lately for several developers, and is really hampering adoption of the tool.

Does anybody know how we could fix this?

Hey @RJRN , you’re right, in some cases, including the one you mentioned, we currently ignore the exclusions. After reviewing this behavior, we came to the same conclusion as you: this isn’t the ideal experience.

I’ve created a ticket to track the issue, and we’re planning to address it in the coming weeks.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
