"Exclude from Bill of Materials" Still Included In the BOM

[dbeckwith01]

I have several parts, SMD jumper pads and a Tag connect connector footprint marked with "Exclude from bill of materials" checked in the Symbol Properties but they still appear in KiBoM output. Is there anyway to have KiBoM respect this flag?

@dbeckwith01 are you using the latest version? I have just checked with a sample schematic, and the component is not included in the generated BOM when Exclude from bill of materials is checked

Hi @SchrodingersGat I'm using KiBot v1.6.3 in Docker via docker pull setsoft/kicad_auto:ki7 . I kibom is installed and is v1.9.0. Is the something I can try to debug this?

[SchrodingersGat]

@dbeckwith01 can you confirm that the version 1.9.0 is being run, and that there's not some other version of the library installed?

Hi @SchrodingersGat and @dbeckwith01 !

The image contains 1.9.0, including upto 07e8e485d380ff9653dcca7e25e4fab0770db050, a small test example and KiBot config could help to find the issue.

As a general rule @dbeckwith01: please report these problems to KiBot first, with a small example so I can determine if the issue is in KiBot side, if we determine the issue is in the upstream then report it here.

Thank you for the help. I'm new to using KiBot and KiBoM to produce my fabrication outputs. Would you like me to open an issue in KiBoT with these details and include my KiBoT configuration?

Hi @dbeckwith01 !

Yes, and include a small example, just a few components where we can expose the issue.
