Coverlet is not considering the excludefromCoverage attribute at method level

[VenkateshSrini]

Hi,
I'm using the Coverlet to measure .NET core 3.1 Web API code coverage. I have used entity framework for creating by repository. There are some methods have anonymous object as return types and hence could not be unit tested. I want those methods to be alone excluded from coverage so I used [ExlcudeFromCodeCoverage] on those methods only. But Coverlet is not considering that at all and still generated the code coverage for the same. Please see the method EditTask in the TaskRepo class as an example in the attached code.

Thank's for repro, I'll take a look asap.

@VenkateshSrini can you tell me where is these methods? I searched [ExlcudeFromCodeCoverage] inside a solution but didn't found anything.

[MarcoRossignoli]

@VenkateshSrini any news?

[VenkateshSrini]

In the repository folder, there is a file called TaskRepo.cs. In that, there is a method called EditTask that has [ExcludeFromCodeCovergae]

[MarcoRossignoli]

I cannot see the attribute what am I missing?

[VenkateshSrini]

No. I just downloaded the attached code bit I'ma able to see the same. Let me upload it once again
TaskApi.zip. please see the code below

Ok now I can repro, seems a bug, btw you cannot use /p:ExcludeByAttribute="CompilerGenerated" with new version because we fixed a bug and now you lose coverage with every async state machine generated #794 (comment)

Thanks for reporting this.

@MarcoRossignoli ,
But that cannot be the way forward that I loose coverage with every async statement. We need to have a standard way out of this problem. What would be your suggestion in such cases?

[MarcoRossignoli]

Why are you using that attribute filter?What do you want to filter out?
