Question

I am using a gradle-cobertura plugin for generating test coverage report which can be found here. The plugin is working absolutely fine. Now I am trying to exclude some of the classes from the coverage report. I have tried to customize the behavior of the Cobertura plugin by using a closure to configure the convention properties as below:

cobertura {
    coverageSourceDirs = sourcesSets.main.groovy.srcDirs
    coverageExcludes = ['class_name.groovy']
}

But the coverage report still showing the classes that I have excluded. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

You need to use a regular expression.

cobertura {
   coverageSourceDirs = sourcesSets.main.groovy.srcDirs
   coverageExcludes = ['.*com\\.myCompany\\.class_name.*']
}

The example on the plugin’s page shows only a single backslash to escape the dot, but I found I had to use double backslashes (I’m using gradle 1.4).

I will also second the suggestion in the comments to use a newer gradle cobertura plugin – I’ve had good luck with this one.
