SonarQube sonar-runner doesn't exclude a file

Question

I have created the sonar-project.properties file in the root of my project. Inside I have:

sonar.sources=WebContent/js
sonar.exclusions=file:/C:/work/frontend_common/WebContent/js/amp/adv3d/amp3d1Vendor.js

I have tried all the variations of sonar.exclusions that I could find and think of. Please find below the relevant log lines that demonstrate that this file is still included:

I got it to work by using the pattern **/adv3d/**
