Hi team,

I added a customized config file to ask for ignoring 3 files: linkedin/venice@3ee4b75
but it appears that CodeQL still scans them and reports; am I doing anything wrong here? Any help will be highly appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm afraid that setting only takes effect for languages that scan for all files in your repository (JavaScript, Python, Ruby (see https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/customizing-code-scanning#specifying-directories-to-scan)). Java analysis works by following along with your build process, so if you want to exclude particular files from analysis you need to specify a build process that does not build those files.

Another approach is to use the advanced-security/filter-sarif Action to filter out results before reporting them.
