If you

Ctrl+Click

on

exclude

, you see that you configure the test task. And if you Ctrl+Click on

jacoco

or look at the type-hint in IntelliJ, you see that you configure the JaCoCo plugin extension, not the JaCoCo task extension. (assuming you use Kotlin DSL, not Groovy DSL where it indeed would be the task extension) What you are after is

tasks.test {
    configure<JacocoTaskExtension> {
        excludes = listOf("com.xenoterracide.ai.wh40k.app.Application#main")
    }
}

hmm... if I exclude ** it seems to work... but anything more specific, e.g.

tasks.test {
  configure<JacocoTaskExtension> {
    exclude("com.xenoterracide.ai.wh40k.app.Application#main(*)")
  }
}

I still get

> Rule violated for bundle app: instructions covered ratio is 0.3, but expected minimum is 0.9

Again, Ctrl+Click and see that you configure the test task, not JaCoCo

oops, thanks

I don't agree, but that's just my 2ct, feel free to open a feature request or pull request to improve the docs. 🙂

nah still didn't work ``````

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/jacoco_plugin.html#default_values_of_the_jacoco_task_extension shows there is an

excludes

property, and also https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.testing.jacoco.plugins.JacocoTaskExtension.html just shows the

excludes

property, no

exclude

method. 🙂

tasks.test {
  configure<JacocoTaskExtension> {
    excludes = listOf("com.xenoterracide.ai.wh40k.app.Application")
  }
}

same way, not enough coverage

Sure, the first of the two links shows the example:

oh, I guess now it's saying 0.0 instead of 0.3 instead

And if it does, which I think, then remember what I said above, that iirc this means coverage will not be recorded for that method, but you still get it reported then as uncovered which exactly matches what you just said, as coverage dropped from 0.3 to 0.0.

well, if I ignore the whole class

You would need to exclude from the report. And on the report iirc you can only exclude whole classes.

yeah, but if I ignore the whole class it's no coverage, in either case it's not particularly helpful as I want to only count coverage for things except that method

Well, that's a question for JaCoCo, not Gradle. As I said, I think if you just exlude a method it is still reported on but does not have coverage recorded for that method and you cannot exclude a method from reporting iirc. If I do remember correctly, that's a limitation of JaCoCo, not Gradle.

right, but if I do

tasks.test {
  configure<JacocoTaskExtension> {
    excludes = listOf("com.xenoterracide.ai.wh40k.app.Application")
  }
}

that's when it goes to

> Rule violated for bundle app: instructions covered ratio is 0.0, but expected minimum is 0.9

which is the whole class

Again, you configure only to skip the recording. You would need to skip it on the reporting instead.

how do you skip the recording? I'm confused

Btw. you could abuse a

Generated

annotation. Even though it is discouraged by JaCoCo to use it for manual exclusion of not-generated code, you could apply any annotation with simple name

Generated

to the method as long as it has at least

CLASS

retention, then it will be automatically excluded from the report

yeah, I thought about that

hah, won't let me thumb it up either

Why?

hmm... is there another, better coverage library these days?

None I'm aware of

seems to have been some kind of transient error on github
