如何在Coverity Scan中忽略生成的cpp文件（来自swig / python）？

Question

I've got a C++ project with Python bindings generated by SWIG. I get a generated file python/libproj_wrap.cpp from SWIG. This file is listed in .gitignore .

I'm running Coverity Scan through Travis. It seems like Coverity Scan tries to run git blame on this, which fails:

fatal: no such path 'python/libproj_wrap.cpp' in HEAD
[WARNING] An error occurred while executing command at '/home/travis/build/unhammer/proj/python':
COMMAND: '/usr/bin/git blame -p proj_wrap.cpp' failed. Error code 128. Proceeding...

and I get no scan results. Is there a way to tell Coverity Scan to ignore .gitignore 'd stuff, or should I just run the scan on a build configured without SWIG bindings?

Answer 1

That would happen if python/libproj_wrap.cpp was tracked before being added to the .gitignore .

Just to be sure, try and untrack it:

git rm --cached python/libproj_wrap.cpp
git commit -m "untrack python/libproj_wrap.cpp"
git push

And see if Travis is still trying a git blame on that file.
