Duplication Exclusions using the UI do not match given pattern

[mrkri...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am trying to exclude some Java POJO's from the rule "common-java:DuplicatedBlocks". I have filled in my pattern as below:

Expectation

All files such as the following are excluded using the pattern below

src/**/*Form.java,src/**/*Dto.java,src/**/*DTO.java

• src/foo/MyForm.java 
  
• src/bar/MyDto.java
• src/MyDTO.java

However, nothing is being excluded. What am I missing here? I am running SonarQube 5.6.6.

I should add that I have cloned the Github repo and ran DefaultCpdTokensTest.handle_exclusions_by_pattern() with the pattern mentioned above and some test files and was able to verify that the test still passed (i.e. no interactions, meaning that the file was correctly ignored).

Hi,

Thanks for including a screenshot! It shows that you're trying to add all your patterns in one, comma-delimited string. But that's what the "Add value" button is for. Have the UI add an input per pattern & let the back-end do the comma-delimiting!

Hello Ann,

Thank you! That did the trick, problem resolved. :-)
