Description
Hi, I think the --exclude option is not working.
I have the following directory structure after git checkout :
**s/**
-- changelogs
-- tests
-- src
-- helper
-- some other files and directories
This is the YAML Task
`
- task: dependency-check-build-task@6
displayName: "Dependency-Check 3 Party Analysis"
inputs:
projectName: 'Project1'
scanPath: '$(Agent.BuildDirectory)/s/'
excludePath: '/tests/**'
format: 'HTML'
failOnCVSS: '7'
suppressionPath: 'suppress.xml'
warnOnCVSSViolation: true
`
Although I am trying to exclude **tests** I am still getting these files Paths
` _/home/vsts/work/1/s/tests/E2E.Cypress/package-lock.json?lodash_`
and
```
[WARN] Analyzing `/home/vsts/work/1/s/tests/E2E.Cypress/package-lock.json` - however, the node_modules directory does not exist. Please run `npm install` prior to running dependency-check
[WARN] Analyzing `/home/vsts/work/1/s/changelogs/validation/package-lock.json` - however, the node_modules directory does not exist. Please run `npm install` prior to running dependency-check
```
Command used in job is:
`
Path: /home/vsts/work/_tasks/dependency-check-build-task_47ea1f4a-57ba-414a-b12e-c44f42765e72/6.0.4/dependency-check/bin/dependency-check.sh
Arguments: --project "Backend" --scan "/home/vsts/work/1/s/" --out "/home/vsts/work/1/TestResults/dependency-check" --exclude "/tests/**" --format HTML --failOnCVSS 7 --suppression "/home/vsts/work/1/s/suppress.xml"
`
Using the same commands on my workstation (Windows System) :
`.\dependency-check.bat -s "C:\Backend" --exclude "/tests/**"` works without problems.
I can also use the --exclude command multiple times, for example to remove also changelogs folder from the path
--exclude "/tests/**" --exclude "/changelogs/**"
Cannot use the excludePath multiple Times in YAML due to key problems...
EDIT: I can use the Extra Arguments Field and it works with multiple exclude arguments or only one!
