LESS: Allow exclusion of files

[bgaillard]

Hi, we use the Eclipse less project for all of our Web projects and have a lot of LESS source files placed inside folders which do not require validation.

For us this is the case for 2 kinds of LESS files :

• LESS files which are placed inside build / target directories
• LESS files which are associated to grunt plugins and placed inside a directory (node_modules) which should not be validated

So, it would be great to add a feature to exclude LESS validation on chosen files and directories. This feature would be provided in the Validators configuration panel of the Eclipse project (see the image snapshot attached to this issue).

This may be the solution you desire: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2272237/how-to-exclude-specific-folders-or-files-from-validation-in-eclipse Instead of just , I entered .less in filter rule for the offending folder. Make sure to check the box "All Children".

Hi @Stefan0-com and thanks for the link.

Didn't know this feature inside Eclipse, works as explained.

But this does not just disable validation because it also hides the files inside the source tree (which is not great because a developer could believe the files simply does not exists).

Do you know if their are other solutions to disable validation having the files visible inside the source tree ?

I would really like this feature to. It works great in the javascript editor
