When I add exclude pattern *.js in xml then it will not working every php file that has json name

[pokemonhan]

phpcs v 3.5.5
<exclude-pattern>*/*.js</exclude-pattern>
after adding this and then below files will not able to check errors and
show nothing errrors.
StaticJsonHandler.php
StaticJsonServiceProvider.php
static_json.php

The exclude patterns are a special kind of regex in which * gets replaced by .*.
Other regex special characters - like . - will retain their normal meaning.

This is documented behaviour, see: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Advanced-Usage#ignoring-files-and-folders

Try using this instead:
<exclude-pattern>*/*\.js$</exclude-pattern>

Thank you, its work.

It works, but, why does *.js which gets expanded to .*.js exclude (for example) index.php, in which there is no j or s to be found?

@rmpel See #2955 (comment) - might be something in your file path which triggers the rule. See the more stable example to use in the comment.
