VSTS Task Prepare Analysis ignore "Additional Properties" for exclusions

Hi there,

Well you do see the exclusions in the analysis logs, which means that they’re not really ignored, and do make their way from the task config to the actual analysis.

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
