Exclude with patterns option not working

[codingcircus]

Hello. i'm trying currently to configure qodana for my js app to exclude all spec files. According to the documentation this should be possible via the patterns argument, however this is not working for me. Even more, I checked the schema for qodana and it also does not mention the patterns option, so the only reference for this is in this documentation.

Can anybody confirm that I'm going about this the right way? This is my full yaml file:

version: "1.0"
linter: jetbrains/qodana-js:2024.1
profile:
  name: qodana.recommended
exclude:
  - name: All
    patterns:
      - "**/*.spec.*"

Hello,

It's known issue. Please as an alternative try using yaml profiles.

1. create a yaml file under .qodana/, e.g. .qodana/my-profile.yaml
   The content of the yaml profile:

name: "Ignore spec files"

baseProfile: qodana.recommended # It should use your profile stored under .idea/inspectionProfiles
inspections:
  - group: "ALL"
    ignore:
      - "**/*.spec.*"

2. in your qodana.yaml set the profile path to .qodana/my-profile.yaml instead of qodana.recommended:

profile:
  path: .qodana/my-profile.yaml

ok, thank you for the insight. Creating a profile solved this now, but was of course also more effort.
