[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-1493) Apache RAT excludes don't work with file path (instead of file name)

["Erik Erlandson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1493?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14025895#comment-14025895 ] 

Erik Erlandson commented on SPARK-1493:
---------------------------------------

RAT itself appears to preclude exclusion using a "/path/to/file.ext" regex because it traverses the directory tree and applies its exclusion filter only to individual file names.  The filter never sees an entire path "path/to/file.ext", only "path", "to", and "file.ext"

https://github.com/apache/rat/blob/incubator-site-import/rat/rat-core/src/main/java/org/apache/rat/DirectoryWalker.java#L127

Either RAT needs a new filtering feature that can see an entire path, or the report it generates has to be filtered post-hoc.

> Right now the way we do RAT checks, it doesn't work if you try to exclude:
> /path/to/file.ext
> you have to just exclude
> file.ext
