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.

Have you tried without a space? e.g ``sonar.exclusions=test/*,node_modules/*`` — Mithfindel, Jun 10 '15 at 12:57
Yeah it still tries to index the .node_modules folder when I do that — Jon Duffy, Jun 10 '15 at 12:58
as per this link http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus comma separated values should work. Can you try this: sonar.exclusions=**/test/*,* */node_modules/ * (ignore the spaces, those stars should be together, the editor was formatting it italics, don't know how to escape that :) — Techtwaddle, Jun 10 '15 at 15:07
Cheers, for the link. That pattern still includes the node_modules folder though — Jon Duffy, Jun 10 '15 at 15:51
Can you please put the analysis logs on pastebin.com so that we can take a look at what the analysis does? — Fabrice - SonarSource Team, Jun 11 '15 at 12:58
Hey the logs in the terminal that come to the terminal whilst sonar-runner is running or are there other logs somewhere else? — Jon Duffy, Jun 11 '15 at 13:47

@Techtwaddle your link has changed: (but i can't edit your comment) https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/project-administration/narrowing-the-focus/ — Peter McIntyre, Jun 19 '23 at 03:51

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).

Can we exclude files only from code coverage and check for issues? – Shanika Ediriweera Jan 01 '20 at 08:16

Following will exclude all the files in node_modules, test.ts, all modules , main.ts and the files comes under environment folder

sonar.exclusions=**/node_modules/**,**/test.ts,**/environments/**,**/**module.ts,**/main.ts

If you are using Jenkinsfile

sonar: [ 

    sonarInstanceName: 'InstanceNameFolderProject', 
    sonarProperties: [
          'sonar.projectKey': 'C3S-web',
          'sonar.sources': 'yourFolderProject',
          'sonar.exclusions': 'yourFolderProject/**/*.fixture.ts, yourFolderProject/settings/_variables.ts' 
        ]],

In 'sonar.exclusions' you can exclude multiple paths.
