--exclude not working

[andrewwatson]

./bin/phpmd  library/ text tests/settings/phpmd.xml --exclude=library/vendor/* --minimumpriority=5

it's ignoring my command line options completely! the documentation says to use --ignore but when I use that it complains and says that is deprecated.

@andrewwatson i had the same problem, but manu on the irc helped me.

You sould do this (exclude with the =)

./bin/phpmd  library/ text tests/settings/phpmd.xml --exclude library/vendor/*

instead of

./bin/phpmd  library/ text tests/settings/phpmd.xml --exclude=library/vendor/*

@acrobat Problem IMHO is that phpmd does not work correctly with relative paths for exclusions.

[reubenavery]

The documentation states that --exclude is a "comma-separated string of patterns that are used to ignore directories", but the patterns I'm trying (regex) don't seem to have any effect.

The only way I could get this --exclude to work is by passing a complete path, and no asterisk wildcards, (much less regex).

This is definitely suboptimal. Definite feature request here.

In v1.5 on windows --exclude seems to work only with backslashes (doesn't matter if path is absolute or relative to).

Can't say about version 2.x (I'm tied to 1.x because can't update pdepend dependency becase of bug in 2).
