# apollo-kotlin

Do you have a favorite way of doing a project-wide search (Cmd + Shift + F) for some text while excluding all apollo-kotlin generated code from that search?
I've tried the scope inside IJ to try and exclude something like all files that are in a directory named /generated/ perhaps, but I can't seem to get it to work.
And since they are considered normal project files, excluding non-project files won't filter those out either.

I declared bankruptcy on IJ scopes 😞

When I really need to narrow a search, I just search inside a directory (src/main/kotlin or so)

Maybe this can help? https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0B8H786P/p1674806282792669

!file:*/build//* not working for me 😞 - this has to be a bug! It looks like generated sources are added to the scope no matter what.

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yup, doesn't work for me either. And the suggestion from Łukasz also does not work for me.
These IJ scopes never worked for me, and it's so unfortunate 🤷

[Stylianos Gakis]

Alright, see ya all in 2025 when inevitably I will come back here with the same question when I forgot that I already asked in the past and IJ scopes will still be giving me a hard time 😂

2025 is just around the corner, but I think this issue may help: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-45161/Gradle-Support-registering-generated-sources-with-the-Kotlin-model
and the target version is 2.1.20 🤞

Unrelated ranty remark: I’m pretty sure this used to work, and then stopped for a couple of years, and I’m not the biggest fan of move fast and break things where the broken things are a massive pain for 90% of the projects/developers. I’m looking at you too, mr rename refactoring taking minutes 😠

Don't make me say 2026 😂
Thanks for the link, starred it!

I think the issue is that the patterns in the scopes are filters relative to the "source sets" / "modules" (not even sure what these are in IJ) we see in the left side.

But what we need is a "global" filter.

I think I'll open an issue even though it's almost certain one already exists 🙂

[bod]

actually it looks like I managed to do what we want, by using includes instead of excludes...

I unfolded app/src/main and clicked on kotlin and "Include recursively". Can also include graphql and res

Of course, this is tedious if you have many modules I guess you need to do that for each

[Stylianos Gakis]

Uhhh, yeah that'd be like 50+ modules, probably quite tricky 😅
Thanks for the idea, I will try to see if that works for me though!
