configfile excludes rules

[morgdenn]

I would like to use my config file to exclude only the rule "FUNCTION_TYPE_ANY".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <config> <excludes code="FUNCTION_TYPE_ANY" /> </config>

It looks like this wont work until I also exclude "FUNCTION_TYPE_MISSING".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <config> <excludes code="FUNCTION_TYPE_ANY" /> <excludes code="FUNCTION_TYPE_MISSING" /> </config>

I can see in "CFLint/src/main/resources/cflint.definition.xml" they are both part of the same ruleImpl. Do you have to exclude all the rules in a ruleImpl to have them excluded?

I'm currently using version 0.7.3

thanks,
Morgan.

(These rules aren't my exact requirements, just a simplified version for testing).

It is a bit strange, I know, but I think the following will work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<config>
<ruleImpl name="FunctionTypeChecker" className="FunctionTypeChecker">
    <message code="FUNCTION_TYPE_MISSING">
            <severity>WARNING</severity>
    </message>
    <message code="FUNCTION_TYPE_ANY">
            <severity>INFO</severity>
    </message>
</ruleImpl>
<excludes code="FUNCTION_TYPE_ANY" />
</config>

see https://github.com/cflint/CFLint/wiki/Include-Exclude-Rules-Using-External-XML-File

or use the excludes filter file cflintexclude.json
see https://github.com/cflint/CFLint/wiki/Are-There-Any-Recipes-Out-There%3F

It will pick up cflintexclude.json on the classpath, or you can pass it as a command line arg:
-filterFile some/path/cflintexclude.json

Our documentation needs some attention.

includes and excludes now work as expected.
