Net config filters are not handled properly

[hivenet-emmanuel-titan]

Describe the bug If a .netconfig file is defined with assemblyfilters, or classfilters, they are not taken into account.

To Reproduce

1. Create a .netconfig file, and specify some assemblyfilters (In my case, was : assemblyfilters = -*.Test, to exclude my tests projects and classfilters = -*.g.cs to exclude generated files)
2. run reportgenerator on cmd.
3. filters are not applied

Maybe because default values of command line takes precedence over .netconfig file ?

[ReportGenerator]
    assemblyfilters =-*.g.cs
    classfilters =-*.Test
    reports = coverage.xml
    targetdir = coveragereport

If you use a .netconfig file, the values are only applied if you don't specify the corresponding command line parameter. Command line always takes precedence.

See: https://github.com/danielpalme/ReportGenerator/blob/d472d5d95eaf7806969e1f814d71ad7e810dcc68/src/ReportGenerator.Core/ReportConfigurationBuilder.cs#L136-L148

The idea is, that you put common values in the .netconfig file and only specify additional/deviating values on the command line.

I do not use any command line parameter

Maybe your .netconfig file is formatted in the wrong way? Maybe you need a space after the "="?

[ReportGenerator]
    assemblyfilters = "-*.g.cs"
    classfilters = "-*.Test"
    reports = coverage.xml
    targetdir = coveragereport

Nope, doesn't work. Tried with the exact config you gave, and command line reportgenerator I still have my \<projectName>.Test projects inside report.

And console output shows that .g.cs files are not excluded :

Thanks for the console output. Now I think I know what's wrong.

There are 3 filter options in ReportGenerator:

• assemblyfilters
• classfilters
• filefilters

According to your console output you are trying to filter certain files. For files you have to use filefilters. Filefilters can be used to filter files within a class. If all files of a class are filtered, the whole class will be filtered.

E.g.

[ReportGenerator]
    filefilters = "-*.g.cs"
    classfilters = "-*.Test"
    reports = coverage.xml
    targetdir = coveragereport

Works like a charm, thanks
