filter.xml ValidationViolation error.

[seeker]

Dear community,

I have the requirement to exclude components under one folder from the built package.

I made the following changes to filter.xml

<filter root="/apps/myapp/components">

        <exclude pattern="/apps/myapp/components/macrsite(/.*)?" />

</filter>

the ui.apps.structure pom looks like this for app root

<!-- /apps root -->

<filter><root>/apps</root>/filter>

<filter><root>/apps/myapp</root>/filter>

<filter><root>/apps/myapp/components/macrsite/filter>

added below configuration in filevault-package-maven-plugin

<jackrabbit-packagetype>

   <options>

         <allowComplexFilterRulesInApplicationPackages>true</allowComplexFilterRulesInApplicationPackages>

    </options>

</jackrabbit-packagetype>

I am still receiving errors like 

ValidationViolation: "jackrabbit-filter: Node '/apps/myapp/components/macrsite/page' is not contained in any of the filter rules", filePath=jcr_root\apps\myapp\components\macrsite\page\.content.xml

ValidationViolation: "jackrabbit-filter: Node '/apps/myapp/components/macrsite/page/head.html' is not contained in any of the filter rules", filePath=jcr_root\apps\myapp\components\macrsite\page\head.html

.

.

etc

Literally the above violation error happens for everything under folder macrsite, I am using filevault-package-maven-plugin of version 1.1.6 and the AEM version in 6.5.18

Hello @seeker 

Please refer to https://sourcedcode.com/blog/aem/jackrabbit-filter-filter-roots-ancestor-etc-mobile-groups

Please check, if configuring "validRoots" helps !

Hello @seeker 

Requesting you to plesae share the values that you have tried for validRoots.

Meanwhile, please add following in pom.xml of ui.apps.structure package

<filter><root>/apps/myapp/components/macrsite/page</root></filter>

[seeker]

This is the addition

<jackrabbit-filter>

       <options>

           <validRoots>

                /apps,

                /apps/myapp,

               /apps/myapp/components,

                /apps/myapp/components/macrsite

           <validRoots>

        </options>

</jackrabbit-filter>

Tried this as well 

<filter><root>/apps/myapp/components/macrsite/page</root></filter>

The validation errors are gone when I added filter root in the plugin configuration of apps module, but no luck the build is success, however package contains excluded component.

<filters>

   <filter>

     <root>/apps/myapp/components/macrsite </root>

  </filter>
