Classes which are provided in the "Excludes" should be removed from the coverage percentage

[clementfung]

In Eclipse:
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Coverage

Specifying a class within the "Coverage Runtime: Excludes" section causes the coverage for that class to become 0%. However, the "Missed Instructions" for those classes are still included in the coverage report.

In my opinion, this option should also remove these lines from the denominator.

Thank you!

Has there been any updates in regards to this?
I spent a while trying to figure out why "Coverage Runtime: Excludes" wasn't working before I found this.

Any news about this issue? This is very annoying while trying to find out you percentage of coverage. From my point of view, "Excludes" is useless if you don't get a percentage that doesn't take into account the excluded classes.

I vote for this as well. But in addition, the exclusions should be specified in the Coverage Configuration so that they are shared across a work group and one can have different Configurations with different exclusions. Excluding classes as a workspace property makes little sense to me.

Hello guys! Is this happening? Is commenting here a waste of time? It's been over two years since the first post here and nobody from the dev team has done any activity on this request other than adding a label? Even if it isn't happening, or if it's some time down the line, can we get a comment from someone acknowledging the request? Thanks and have a great day!

@jbravo-tejeda we are currently in the process of transferring project to Eclipse foundation - more about this at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/jacoco/fMpiBktkKZM/9urtDcJgCAAJ Once this will be done - we'll review backlog of open tickets.

More about dev activity and priorities see jacoco/jacoco#15 (comment) , which was for JaCoCo, but applicable here as well. So yes - such comments can be seen as a kind of waste of time (both yours and ours): instead of asking "when" and waiting years, far better to come with a contribution of a patch.

Thank you for your understanding.

@Godin Thank you! I'm sure the comment you just posted will be appreciated by the community, at the very least for this request.

Hi All,

I am trying to exclude a class that i know have coverage in it. Once i put that to the excludes preference, on a new coverage run they'll still be there in the coverage window, but they'll come up as 0% and will all be in red.

Is there a solution which to solve this , i need to exclude a class and not be showing in report at all

@monism No, EclEmma does not support this, that's why this feature request is here. Cross-posting in various issues will also not help to get this feature implement. Please stop it and use our mailing list for questions.
