Xunit included in the code coverage

Generating the code coverage runsettings file as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<RunSettings>
    <DataCollectionRunSettings>
        <DataCollectors>
            <!--https://github.com/tonerdo/coverlet/blob/master/Documentation/VSTestIntegration.md-->
            <DataCollector friendlyName="XPlat code coverage">
                <Configuration>
                    <!--https://github.com/tonerdo/coverlet/blob/master/Documentation/MSBuildIntegration.md#excluding-from-coverage-->
                    <Exclude>[ARRT.Data.*]*,[*]FluentValidation*,[*]xunit*</Exclude>
                </Configuration>
            </DataCollector>
        </DataCollectors>
    </DataCollectionRunSettings>
</RunSettings>

When the report is created in Azure DevOps however, the xunit assemblies are included in the code coverage report. Why?

Interesting. Whatever was done in 1.2.0 also allowed me to remove the FluentValidation exclusions (it was an external assembly I have no control over from nuget).

Yes, coverlet by design skip dll(also that comes with package) for what you don’t have source file(.cs) in local.
