Long Mega Linter execution time

[mec0202]

Hi sfdx-hardis community,
I investigated that the Mega Linter Execution time (inside of an usual Org Monitoring run (Backup --> Apex Test, Mega Linter, Org Monitoring) executed via Github) is on my side for a quite "empty" org pretty long. The Mega Linter execution time It is always >3h.

I see in the logs, that specially the "code-analyzer-aura" check is here the long running test:

after this long running section

I see that for example:

• docs/
• site/
• hardis-report/
• staticresource/SfdxHardis_MKDocsSite_CICD

get here also evaluated and files in this folders are part of the check.

Example:

Is it expected behavior that these files (which are created by sfdx hardis) also part of the check?

I tried to disable the check of specific folders via the following .mega-linter-yml file:

#Configuration file for Mega-Linter
#See all available variables at https://megalinter.io/latest/config-file/ and in linters documentation
EXTENDS:
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardisgroupcom/sfdx-hardis/main/config/sfdx-hardis.mega-linter-config.yml

DISABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS:
  - CSS_STYLELINT
  - COPYPASTE_JSCPD
  - SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_APEX
  - SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_AURA
  - SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_LWC

ADDITIONAL_EXCLUDED_DIRECTORIES:
  - docs
  - site
  - hardis-report
  - staticresources

FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE: (hardis-report/.*|.*SfdxHardis_MkDocsSite_CICD/.*)

SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_AURA_ARGUMENTS: --exclude "**/SfdxHardis_MkDocsSite_CICD/**,**/docs/**,**/hardis-report/**,**/site/**"
SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_LWC_ARGUMENTS: --exclude "**/SfdxHardis_MkDocsSite_CICD/**,**/docs/**,**/hardis-report/**,**/site/**"
SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_APEX_ARGUMENTS: --exclude "**/SfdxHardis_MkDocsSite_CICD/**,**/docs/**,**/hardis-report/**,**/site/**"

Unfortunately this has not solved my issue.

Could you please give me a hint regarding this topic and what is best practice to solve this?
Thank you

Greetings

@mec0202 there are currently both sfdx-scanner and code-analyzer in MegaLinter

sfdx-scanner is retired so will be soon retired from MegaLinter, so you can disable the following linters

DISABLE_LINTERS:
  - SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_APEX
  - SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_AURA
  - SALESFORCE_SFDX_SCANNER_LWC

You probably need to add variables related to SALESFORCE_CODE_ANALYZER_* to exclude files instead :)
