question about wildcard exclude rules

[i10416]

Can I exclude mima binary compatibility reports with exclude filter wildcard like foo.bar#O.* or foo.bar#O#K.* ?

package foo.bar

private object O:
  def f() : T =
    ???
  def g(): T =
    ???
  class K:
    def h(): T = ???

MiMa operates at the bytecode level, not at the language level, so you'd need to use the bytecode names for things; e.g. O$ instead of O, and O$K for K.

According to https://github.com/lightbend/mima#filtering-binary-incompatibilities , you can use wildcards to match class names, but it's not clear from the doc if the same thing works for method names. I'd suggest you try it. If it works, we can tweak the documentation to be clearer. If it doesn't work, then it's a feature request.

Thank you!

You can use glob on any part that is reported. I often use it to ignore anything inside a package or class or object, whether it's nested classes or methods or anything.
