How can I exclude some directories from code-analysis? #9765

Hi @utillity, sorry this sat unanswered for so long.

There are two different sources of bit status noise and they have different fixes, so
which one you want depends on what the F# toolchain leaves behind in the component dir:

1. Files that shouldn't be part of the component at all

(obj/, bin/, fable_modules/, or whatever intermediate output your toolchain drops)

Use a .bitignore — gitignore syntax. It works either at the workspace root (applies to
everything) or inside a specific component directory, with patterns relative to that dir:

# my-fsharp-component/.bitignore
obj/
bin/
fable_modules/

One gotcha worth knowing: if a .bitignore exists at a given level, bit reads it instead
of the .gitignore at that level, not in addition to it. With no .bitignore, bit falls
back to your .gitignore.

There's a config equivalent if you'd rather keep it in one place:

// workspace.jsonc
"teambit.workspace/workspace": {
  "ignoredFiles": ["**/obj/**", "**/bin/**"]
}

2. Files that must stay in the component, but whose imports bit shouldn't try to resolve

This is likely your actual case — the transpiled JS/TS needs to ship, but bit's dependency
detection trips over generated code.

Make this the very first thing in the file:

// @bit-no-check

bit then skips dependency detection for that file entirely. It's a literal "starts with"
check, so it has to be the first characters of the file (/* @bit-no-check works too), and
it applies to every file type. If Fable can emit a header/prelude that's the cleanest place
to put it; otherwise a one-line post-transpile step that prepends it works fine.

If it's only a couple of imports rather than the whole file, // @bit-ignore on the line
immediately above an import skips just that one. Heads up though: that one is
TypeScript-only (.ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts) — it has no effect in .js files. So
for plain JS output, @bit-no-check is the tool.

If neither of those covers your case, paste your bit status output here and we'll take a
look.
