Can't ignore issues in blocks

[Kumar Gaurav]

Dear All, I am trying to ignore issues in blocks as described in documentation: https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus#NarrowingtheFocus-IgnoreIssues

I have some duplicated code in ClassA.java and ClassB.java and sonarqube complains about them as code smells. I want to ignore it in sonar analysis. So I am putting the code block like following in both files:

//START_NO__SONAR

//mycode to ignore

//END_NO__SONAR

In Sonarqube UI settings for sonar.issue.ignore.block: beginBlockRegexp is set as START_NO__SONAR and endBlockRegexp is set as END_NO__SONAR. However Sonarqube still complains about that and reports them as code smells.

I am wondering what I am doing wrong.. My sonarqube version is 7.1.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Thanks a lot,

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

You're not doing anything wrong. This combination just doesn't work. :-/

The rule about duplicated blocks (among others) is a "common" rule and that type of exclusion doesn't work on common rules. This closed ticket holds some relevant details. This open ticket is about the future of that exclusion type.

Thanks a lot Ann. The jira link helped and I could use "Ignore Issues on Multiple Criteria" to achieve that. Following worked:

Rule Key Pattern: common-java:DuplicatedBlocks 

File Path Pattern: **/*Mojo.java

Thanks & Regards,

Kumar
