node_modules is the location where yarn (or npm) stores dependencies.
I'm using TFS task to execute SonarQube analysis on a angular 7 project with this standard configuration :
"Publish Quality Gate Result" task failed with this error :

First problem : why Sonar analyze node_modules while I added it to excluded files in the "prepare analysis" task:
sonar.exclusions=**/node_modules/**,**/*.spec.ts
Second problem : if I add these options to the additional properties in the "prepare analysis" task, it seems to be ignoring the option :
findOptions.followSpecifiedSymbolicLink='false'
findOptions.followSymbolicLinks:'false'
Result :
And how to fix this problem to get unit test result and publish it to sonarqube ?

EDIT 2 : Sonar team answered me that it's similar with this bug : https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/VSTS-172
