[intptr-t]

Please support cfn-lint's exclude(ignore) feature in Serverless IDE as well.

• like https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint#config-file
• like serverlessIDE.cfnLint.ignorePath

• What is the current behavior?

The Serverless IDE is checking template files more than necessary.

• What is the expected behavior?

Right now, I am developing with sam cli in a venv environment. In a venv environment with ServerlessIDE, if you install a library that generates templates for Cfn, it will target templates that you do not expect.

In that case, I would like to exclude the templates in the venv environment.

This does not occur when running from the command line cfn-lint.

Thanks.

thanks for reporting this @intptr-t! the extension will ignore files and folders in .gitignore would that option work for you?

[intptr-t]

Thanks for your reply @pavelvlasov. In my environment, even if I use .gitignore and ignore files and folders, they are still subject to cfn-lint.

So, has this issue been fixed? For now, that will work. But it would be nice if you could choose the path to ignore.

A way to ignore a path would be great. I have a "legacy" folder with tons of files in the project and I'd like to disable linting on it to improve performances. Adding it to .gitignore is not a solution in this case.
