SonarScanner for MS Build does not report the number of files ignored

SonarQube
1

When running the Scanner through the command prompt, the report of number of files ignored always shows 0. I would expect this number to go up as files are excluded.

Using: SonarQube 7.9.1
SonarScanner for MSBuild 4.6.2

Steps to Reproduce:
1)Run scan on project with no Exclusions, review output:
INFO: 191 Files indexed
INFO: 0 files ignored because of inclusion/exclusion patterns

2)Add Exclusions, re-run scan
INFO: 149 files indexed
INFO: 0 files ignored because of inclusion/exclusion patterns

It does exclude the files correctly, it just does not report on the number of files excluded correctly.

Thanks

Upgraded to latest versions, SonarQube 8.0 and MSBuild 4.7.1.231.

Issue still happens:
INFO: 0 files ignored because of inclusion/exclusion patterns

Hi,

In which way do you exclude files ?

Thanks.

Hey Mickaël,

personally, I used the GUI from SonarQube to exlude those files as described here by @ganncamp.

So Project View --> Administration --> General Settings --> Analysis Scope --> Source File Exclusions

Cheers,

I was using both the global file exclusions and project level exclusions from the Web GUI.

Thanks @RobCo and @AndrewC75

We’ve opened The plugin does not report the number of excluded files · Issue #2822 · SonarSource/sonar-dotnet · GitHub to track this issue

Could you please share the exclusion expression you are using?

Could you please share the exclusion expression you are using?

Sure, no problem. Since I just wanted to confirm the report of @AndrewC75 I just excluded an entire source directory. So the expression was “${source directory}/*”.

Cheers,
Robin

I wanted to exclude some of the javascript libraries in the project because of too many false positives on these libraries.

I used the following exclusion expressions (sonar.global.exclusions):

**/*bootstrap*
**/*jquery*
**/*popper*

As well as these on the project (sonar.exclusions):

JDEUtilities.Documents\*
