Is There an Elegent Way to configure Exclusions?

Hi there, Great tool - now coverage is possible on Linux!

The small annoying thing is to configure excluded files. Usually quote a lot of files/infrastrucutre boundaries should be excluded from unit tests - the list is quite large. Is there a better way to specify exclusion? Like OpenCover used special file for exclusion?

This is the what I have at the moment (long list…)

--exclude-sources '../src/**/Repositories/*.cs' --exclude-sources  '../src/**/Swagger'  --exclude-sources '../src/**/Data' --exclude-sources '../src/**/Startup.cs'  --exclude-sources '../src/**/Program.cs'  --exclude-sources <more exclusion here>

Thanks!

@AdrianCohea , sounds like a good plan. This is related: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/minicover/issues/68 Maybe it’s better to add support for any parameter already, not only file exclusions.

@lucaslorentz With respect, this is a huge need and it actively gets in the way of usage and creates defects because minicover doesn’t seem to understand that it should not be instrumenting tests by default.

I have a HUGE need for this feature and JSON is not a hard format as its natively supported by C#, why are you so against it?
