If you want to exclude the resources folder you should change the :source-paths-ignore-regex setting, https://github.com/clojure-lsp/clojure-lsp/blob/master/docs/all-available-settings.edn#L6 the value is only exclude target folder. so something like that should work: .lsp/config.edn

{:source-paths-ignore-regex ["target.*" "resources.*"]}

cool, that worked! i needed to remove .lsp/.cache first and then after a restart of the lsp server it worked! thank you @UKFSJSM38
