How to ignore some statements in Javascript code coverage when using lcov and istanbul ?

[anthony....@gmail.com]

How is it possible to make sonarqube take into account directives found in code comments ? There is a page on istanbul describing how to ignore some branches using comments like this

/* istanbul ignore if  */
if (hardToReproduceError)) {
    return callback(hardToReproduceError);
}

(see https://github.com/gotwarlost/istanbul/blob/master/ignoring-code-for-coverage.md)

It works well into HTML reports generated by istanbul but it does not work with Sonarqube.

Hi Anthony,

The only thing that's available regarding comments is //NOSONAR, which will suppress issues but not affect other metrics. And it's really an antipattern.
