How do I ignore an entire directory of files or namespace of files?

[BenjaminMichaelis]

I have a directory under my .sln that is called Migrations that I want to ignore the whole directory of files of, or I have the namespace as Foo.Thing.Migrations.

I am currently doing the following in my actions:

      - name: ReportGenerator
        uses: danielpalme/ReportGenerator-GitHub-Action@5.2.0
        with:
          reports: '**/coverage.cobertura.xml'
          targetdir: coveragereport
          reporttypes: MarkdownSummaryGithub
          classfilters: Foo.Thing.Migrations
          filefilters: "*Migrations*"

but in the summary markdown it still includes the output from that directory in the calculations:

Coverage

Foo.Thing- 0%

Name	Line
Foo.Thing.Migrations.AddThing	0%
Foo.Thing.Migrations.RemoveThing	0%

How do I avoid this from being included?

@BenjaminMichaelis
You are missing a little detail in your filters. They need to start with a "+" or "-".

This should work:

      - name: ReportGenerator
        uses: danielpalme/ReportGenerator-GitHub-Action@5.2.0
        with:
          reports: '**/coverage.cobertura.xml'
          targetdir: coveragereport
          reporttypes: MarkdownSummaryGithub
          classfilters: -Foo.Thing.Migrations
          filefilters: "-*Migrations*"

Ah this works great, thank you! For some reason I didn't process the fact that those were still needed even if it was only one line
