sonar.cpd.exclusions within Gradle ignored?

[andre.g...@gmail.com]

Hi, 

We have version 6.5 (build 27846) of SonarQube running in our CI environment. I have some files in my Gradle-based java project, for which I would like to disable "duplicate code detection". According to the docs under [1], I can set a property called "sonar.cpd.exclusions" for this. I configured our build.gradle as follows:

apply plugin: 'java'

apply plugin: 'jacoco'

apply plugin: 'eclipse'

apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

apply plugin: 'org.sonarqube'

apply plugin: 'org.owasp.dependencycheck'

...

sonarqube {

    properties {

        property "sonar.projectKey", "<our project key>"

        property "sonar.projectName", "<our project name>"

        property "sonar.branch", branchName

        property "sonar.sourceEncoding", "UTF-8"

        property "sonar.exclusions", "**/*.css,**/*.js"

        property "sonar.cpd.exclusions", "<our path>/*.java"

    }

}

When I run a gradle build, it looks as if the "sonar.cpd.exclusions" property is not overriding default settings. Classes in that directory still get analyzed for duplicate code. What did I do wrong here? We run latest plugins on Sonar.

Thank you for any help,

André

Hi Andre,

(Sorry, my keyboard doesn't have accents.)

I believe that should work. Is it possible the problem is with "<our path>"? What happens if you use '**' instead?
