Exclude in finecodecoverage-settings.xml not working

[dingetje]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: [example 2022 Professional]
• This extension: [example 1.1.194]

Description

Exclude in finecodecoverage-settings.xml not working as expected

Steps to recreate

1. Install Fine Code Coverage Add-on
2. Add finecodecoverage-settings.xml to project
3. Add Exclude pattern in finecodecoverage-settings.xml based on namespace
4. Run unit tests
5. Code coverage report still shows excluded namespace classes

Current behavior

Exclude settings seem to be ignored

Expected behavior

Exclude pattern should be applied to code coverage setting

Side Notes

• the only settings that seem to work are the ModulePathExclude

Here's my anonymized finecodecoverage-settings.xml

<FineCodeCoverage>
    <Enabled>
        True
    </Enabled>
    <Exclude>
        [*]FooNameSpace.*
    </Exclude>
    <ExcludeByFile>
        **/XSDGenerated.designer.cs
    </ExcludeByFile>
    <ExcludeByAttribute>
    </ExcludeByAttribute>
    <ModulePathsExclude>
        .*UnitTests.dll
        .*Moq.dll
    </ModulePathsExclude>
</FineCodeCoverage>

The expected behaviour is that the applicable settings for the coverage provider in use should be applied, and they are. You can see that in the FCC output pane of the Visual Studio output window.

You have a mixture of coverage settings. ModulePathsExclude is an ms code coverage setting whereas Exclude / ExcludeByFile and ExcludeByAttribute are OpenCover / Coverlet settings ( non ms code coverage ).

Thanks @tonyhallett great answer! I know exactly what to do now, not!
