Directory excluding in sonar-project.properties file doesn't work (for me)

I have excluded the directory in my project properties but sonar doesn't exclude it. Can anyone help me to find problem?

sonar.sources=./ 
sonar.exclusions=./utility/Excel/**

I realized that first I should have written directory name Like below to exclude all folders and file on that directory:

 sonar.exclusions=utility/Excel/**/*

Second I should have used comma separated directory names to exclude more than one directory:

 sonar.exclusions=utility/Excel/**/* , utility/mailer/**/*

thanks for the comma separation information. It saved me a day. – SanthoshM May 24 '17 at 16:06

ok I just wanna throw out that it's really confusing `sonar.sources` uses path relative to sonar-project.properties, and apparently `sonar.exclusions` doesn't? ugh took me forever. thanks, never would have tried that – Cole Jan 03 '18 at 02:01

Look at the Inclusions/Exclusions Patterns documentation , and try this: sonar.exclusions=utility/Excel/**.

Note: pointing sonar.sources to the current directory is usually a mistake, you should point it to the actual directories which contain the sources (more details in Analysis Parameters).

This should be the accepted answer, not your own post answered 5 days later and explained stuff which wasn't even part of the question. – GreenTurtle Nov 13 '17 at 13:56
