ExcludeFromCodeCoverage is inaccessible due to its protection level (version 3.3.37)

See original GitHub issue

I tried upgrading from 3.0.28 to 3.3.37, but started getting this error.

error CS0122: ‘ExcludeFromCodeCoverageAttribute’ is inaccessible due to its protection level

The problem appears to be compilation constants on the generated file for this attribute:

#if NETFRAMEWORK || NETCOREAPP || NETSTANDARD2_0 || NETSTANDARD2_1
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
#endif

.NET Core 1.x does not support ExcludeFromCodeCoverage attribute, so the constants should be changed to:

#if NETFRAMEWORK || NETCOREAPP2_0 || NETCOREAPP2_1 || NETCOREAPP2_2 || NETCOREAPP3_0 || NETCOREAPP3_1 || NETSTANDARD2_0 || NETSTANDARD2_1
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
#endif

Note that .NET 5.x is also missing from the list.

starting with NET5_0, they’re going to keep defining that symbol even post-5.0.

It looks like that plan was changed in https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/13377 and https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/14798; they’re going to define NET5_0_OR_GREATER instead.
