SonarQube - Using wildcards to ignore all xml file

问题:

I have confused on SonarQube's wildcards usage. Say I want to ignore all xml files. Should I just put *.xml in the Global Source File Exclusions? But will it ignore xml files in different layers, for instance /foo/bar/file.xml and /foo/bar/folder/folder2/xml?

In your sonar-project.properties, you have two ways to ignore files:

• sonar.exclusions=the/full/path/*.xml will ignore all .xml files in path.
• sonar.exclusions=**/*.xml will ignore all .xml files in the folder and sub-folders where you are.

Here are the different wildcards:

*    zero or more characters
**   zero or more directories
?    a single character
