nginx - Add exception for certain location within access_by_lua_block

[Nabeel Zafar]

Hi,

I'm using access_by_lua_block within an nginx server block that contains many locations like so:

server {
    ...
    access_by_lua_block {
    }
  
    location / {
    }   
    location /myPath {
    }
    location /exceptionPath {
    }
    ...
}

How can I prevent access_by_lua_block from running for /exceptionPath? 

Thanks.

Actually doing the following seemed to work.. not sure if there's a better way?

server {
    ...
    access_by_lua_block {
    }
  
    location / {
    }   
    location /myPath {
    }
    location /exceptionPath {

      access_by_lua_block {

      }
    }
    ...
