The Problem

When building my xcode Swift project, I am getting violations from SwiftLint (i.e. Empty Count Violations) of files/folders that I exclude in my .swiftlint.yml file, but when specifying those files/folders in the excluded section, the violations still occur.

Code

.swiftlint.yml

included:

excluded:
  - Pods
  - myproject/API/api_implementation.swift
  - myproject/API

Build Phases Run Script

"${PODS_ROOT}/SwiftLint/swiftlint"

Project Structure

/projectroot
    .swiftlint.yml
    Pods/
    myproject/
        API/
            api_implementation.swift

Neither myproject/API/api_implementation.swift nor the entire directory myproject/API/ are excluded from the lint!

The Question

What is incorrect in terms of making this file and folder excluded from the lint? If my syntax is incorrect, what is the correct syntax? If my path is incorrect, where is the SwiftLint file run from? Interestingly, even though the .swiftlint.yml file is in the root of my project, the swiftlint file that is run is in Pods/SwiftLint/

Perhaps the way that Cocoapods requires additional integration for SwiftLint to work would cause this problem. I have tried, however, to empty the Build Phases Run Script, and have confirmed that the .swiftlint.yml file is indeed running on build.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!

The syntax and content of your .swiftlint.yml looks correct to me, but I wonder if the problem comes down to Groups vs Folders in Xcode?

SwiftLint only looks at the location of the source files on disk rather than using the hierarchy shown in the Project Navigator in Xcode. You need to make sure that the files you expect to be excluded are definitely in the API directory when you look in Finder, and not just the API group in Xcode.

I had a similar problem. Somehow I ended up with additional symbols such as U+2067 which aren't seen in a text editor. I managed to remove them in vim. Here's a screenshot of git diff command after removing unnecessary symbols: enter image description here

Maybe it will help
