<ignore> Element

The <ignore> element is a child of the <diff> element and specifies a file name path pattern to ignore when using this component in a comparison. This element is typically for files and directories that are created by the installed application, such as log files. The configurable attributes of this element can reference component substitution variables.

The <ignore> element has one required attribute, path, which is a glob-style pattern that matches the file name paths to ignore, for example, /logs/*.log. This attribute can reference component-scoped substitution variables.
