Wildcard ban does not work?

[yeikel]

Hello there,

This does not seem to work

<bannedImports>
<!---
Matches multiple dependencies that shade/relocate Google annotations
Examples : com.couchbase.client.core.deps.com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting
org.testcontainers.shaded.com.google.common.annotations
-->
<bannedImport>*.com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting</bannedImport>
</bannedImports>

As described by the comment, the goal is to match multiple dependencies that shade/relocate Google annotations like com.couchbase.client.core.deps.com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting

You probably need to prefix the pattern with **. A single * only matches a single package level.

Thank you for your help, but that does not seem to work unless I am missing something:

<groups>
<group>
<reason>Use org.jetbrains.annotations.VisibleForTesting</reason>
<basePackage>**</basePackage>
<bannedImports>

This works though :

  <bannedImport>com.couchbase.client.core.deps.com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting</bannedImport>

You are right, this is a bug. According to the documentation, **should match at least one package part. In this case however, it matches none because the package to match starts with com and com is also the first part in the pattern after the **.

There might be further issues with the way we currently implemented the matching algorithm. I created a reminder ticket (which needs some more specification) to improve this in the future: #78

[yeikel]

Thank you for the fix. That did it

[yeikel]

It seems that

<bannedImport>**.com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting</bannedImport>

Does not match com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting but I believe that this is expected, right?

[skuzzle]

Yes, for the time being that is expected because ** will consume at least one package part while matching.
I guess the whole matching semantics should be reconsidered for the next major release. There are quite a few use cases that currently can not be expressed in a user friendly manor with the current implementation
