Properties file exclude multiple paths

Question

I have a sonar-project.properties file, which specifies how sonar-runner inspects the the folder structure, which files to inspect, which files to ignore etc.

I cannot successfully determine however how to exclude multiple paths successfully.

Here is the sonar-project.properties file:

sonar.projectKey=C3S-web sonar.projectName=C3S-sonar-web sonar.projectVersion=0.0.1  sonar.sources=. sonar.tests=test sonar.language=js sonar.profile=Sonar way sonar.exclusions=test/*, node_modules/* sonar.dynamicAnalysis=reuseReports  sonar.javascript.jstest.reportsPath=coverage sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPath=coverage/lcov-report 

the line I am having trouble with is:

sonar.exclusions 

listing multiple paths does not work, with or without a comma, or in quotes either.

Answer 1

You have to use the double asterisk pattern to recursively exclude all sub-folders and files:

sonar.exclusions=test/**, node_modules/** 

A single asterisk matches only the files on that specific folder (no recursion).
