Powershell with /p:ExcludeByFile do not works

[default-writer]

Powershell script
By adding command /p:ExcludeByFile=\"**/MyFun*.cs,**/*Test*.cs,**/*Exception*.cs,**/*Attribute*.cs\" to

& dotnet test --configuration Release --no-build Build.Tests /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover

I manage to break generation of the report file, if I removes /p:ExcludeByFile=\"...\" everything works
I tried with no success:

/p:ExcludeByFile=\"**/MyFun*.cs,**/*Test*.cs,**/*Exception*.cs,**/*Attribute*.cs\"
/p:ExcludeByFile="**/MyFun*.cs,**/*Test*.cs,**/*Exception*.cs,**/*Attribute*.cs"
/p:ExcludeByFile=\"**\/MyFun*.cs,**\/*Test*.cs,**\/*Exception*.cs,**\/*Attribute*.cs\"
/p:ExcludeByFile=\"**\MyFun*.cs,**\*Test*.cs,**\*Exception*.cs,**\*Attribute*.cs\"
/p:ExcludeByFile="**\MyFun*.cs,**\*Test*.cs,**\*Exception*.cs,**\*Attribute*.cs"

/p:ExcludeByFile just not works

Why not to use SonarScanner format

/d:sonar.coverage.exclusions="**/MyFun*.cs,**/*Test*.cs,**/*Exception*.cs,**/*Attribute*.cs"

for /p:ExcludeByFile, for example:

/p:ExcludeByFile="**/MyFun*.cs,**/*Test*.cs,**/*Exception*.cs,**/*Attribute*.cs"

My build script:

& packages/dotnet-sonarscanner begin /d:sonar.login="$env:SONARCLOUDTOKEN" /k:"build-core" /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" /n:"build" /v:"1.0" /d:sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths="Build.Tests/coverage.opencover.xml" /d:sonar.coverage.exclusions="**/MyFun*.cs,**/*Test*.cs,**/*Exception*.cs,**/*Attribute*.cs" /d:sonar.organization="hack2root-github" /d:sonar.sourceEncoding="UTF-8"
& dotnet build --configuration Release
& dotnet test --configuration Release --no-build Build.Tests /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover
& packages/dotnet-sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login="$env:SONARCLOUDTOKEN"
& packages/csmacnz.Coveralls --opencover -i Build.Tests/coverage.opencover.xml

I'd expect this to just work since you're using a regular globbing pattern. @ido-namely can you please take a look? Thanks

[tonerdo]

Hi @hack2root, do you get an error or does it just not work? Is your issue similar to #182?

[SlowLogicBoy]

I'm having same issue. Also I use test.targets file for test properties:

    <PropertyGroup>
        <!-- Properties for code coverage -->
        <CollectCoverage>true</CollectCoverage>
        <CoverletOutputFormat>opencover</CoverletOutputFormat>
        <ExcludeByFile>**/*.Designer.cs,**/*.g.cs,**/*.g.i.cs,**/*.generated.cs</ExcludeByFile>
    </PropertyGroup>

and this doesn't work too. I've tried solutions in #182 too, in powershell, cmd and bash. (in bash instead of using /p: I have to use -p:)

[tonerdo]

@SlowLogicBoy I'll like to know if you get an error or if you just notice that the files don't get excluded

[SlowLogicBoy]

@tonerdo Files didn't get excluded, tried various patterns for these. Exclude doesn't work also.

/p:ExcludeByFile definitely doesn't work in shell.

So what am I supposed to do if I want to exclude some Migrations folder?

Something like
dotnet test Code /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura /p:Exclude="**/Migrations/**"

I'm a bit confused with the state of this. Does this also affect coverlet.exe and is the workaround to use absolute paths?

[yowl]

I aslo note I think, that with absolute paths on windows its funny about the case of the drive letter and I need to exclude both d:\ and D:\
