Excluding methods by name

[Benjamin van der Veen]

Hi folks,

First of all, I'm not sure I'm barking up the right tree—I'm coming here by way of the gradle plugin. Correct me if I'm in the wrong place. Second, yes, I have searched the github issues, pull requests, and this mailing list.

I got a coverage report generating in CI and I was pleased to find that the project I'm working on is right around 67% coverage. Not bad! Investigating further, I noticed that a large amount of what is not covered is `toString` `equals` and `hashCode`. These are all generated by the IDE. I want these to not figure in the reports.

I've seen suggestion that I could declare my own annotation with the word `Generated` in it and apply, one by one, to the methods in question. Suffice to say I don't want to do that.

I haven't found any way to simply filter methods by name from the coverage report. And I haven't found anyone directly asking for this, either. Am I missing something? Or am I the  crazy one for wanting to blanket exclude these three methods in particular?

I'm appreciative of any advice. I might even be up for making a pull request for a feature like this—simply filtering method out of the coverage report by name/regex.

Kind regards,

Benjamin van der Veen

Hi Benjamin,

JaCoCo (which does the work behind the scenes) does not support configurable method exclusions. Unfortunately this is nowadays not as easy as it sounds, as boundaries between methods get blurry with modern language features like lambdas.

Cheers,
