Ignored files seems to be not ignored

Hi,

I have set a list of files to ignore for my project: https://www.openhub.net/p/newspipe
Here is the list:

Disallow: submodules/
Disallow: node_modules/
Disallow: src/web/static/css/
Disallow: src/web/static/fonts
Disallow: src/web/static/img/
Disallow: src/web/static/js/bootstrap.js
Disallow: src/web/static/js/bootstrap.min.js
Disallow: src/web/static/js/jquery.js

But when I see the number of CSS lines, I am wondering if the folder src/web/static/css/ is really ignored during the analysis.

Is there a way to check that on the website?

Hi Cedric;

Sorry for the delay. We recently had another issue around the Disallow statements and really dug into the code.

We found that it is indeed working as expected and honoring all statements. However, we also found that when a disallow target -- say 'src/web/static/css' existed in some other folder in the past, that previous location had to be filtered out as well.

This is because code stats are generated by summing up activity over time. So if the files in 'src/web/static/css' existed in a different location in the past, that too needs to be blocked from the summation.

Hope this is helpful
