Do not apply to file / files matching not working

[itd-dha]

Hi,

I have the feeling the "Do not apply to file names" and "Do not apply to files matching" input is not working in IntelliJ. I want to exclude the "build.gradle" file in my root folder from CodeNarcs Formatting rules, but everything I try, I can not get this file ignored other then deactivating the whole rule.

Rule: Closure statement on opening line of multiple line closure

Tested: Do not apply to file names:

• build.gradle
• build
• gradle

Do not apply to files matching:

• *.gradle
• .*.gradle
• [a-zA-Z0-9]*.gradle
• build.gradle

IntelliJ Version: 2021.2.4 CodeNarc Plugin Version: 4.4.0

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Do I have to switch to Beta channel and get a newer version of plugin?

Hi, sorry for a late reply.

Yes, you should try the beta channel to get the newest version of the plugin. Let me know if the issue still persist with the latest version.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I switched to beta channel and updated the plugin, still the problem remains:

Example: -> In settings I set file or matches to ignore rule "Block starts with empty line" for build.gradle -> Intellij writes the following to my Intellij profile

<inspection_tool class="CodeNarc.BlockStartsWithBlankLine" enabled="true" level="SERVER PROBLEM" enabled_by_default="true">
    <option name="doNotApplyToFileNames" value="build.gradle" />
    <option name="doNotApplyToFilesMatching" value="[a-zA-Z0-9]*.gradle" />
</inspection_tool>

But still it finds this rule in my build.gradle

For matching file I tested "build" or "gradle" For matching regex I tested "(.).gradle" or "..gradle" Same result.

Wow, thanks for your time fixing this, I will test it out right away!
