Fabian Reichlin commented on MCOBERTURA-52:
-------------------------------------------
I think the <ignore> statement is rather confusing -- instead of ignoring
entire methods in custom classes, just single method calls within custom
methods are filtered out (e.g. logging statements in your methods). So, if
entire methods from your classes should be excluded (e.g. when they cannot be
tested) in favor of getting a higher code coverage rate, it just would not be
possible.
We patched Cobertura and the Maven-Cobertura-Plugin such that entire methods
can now be excluded from instrumentation. If you're interested, add
[ftp://el4.elca-services.ch/htdocs/el4j/maven2repository/] to your mirrors, and
use it as follows:
{code:xml}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-el4j_20080702_1630</version>
<configuration>
<instrumentation>
<!-- Ignore entire methods from being instrumented. -->
<ignoreMethods>
<!-- Ignore all methods ending with Untested from
the com.yourcompany package. -->
<ignoreMethod>com.yourcompany.*.*Untested</ignoreMethod>
</ignoreMethods>
</instrumentation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
Note that it is also possible to e.g. ignoring setter and getter method, by
configuring
{code:xml}
<ignoreMethods>
<!-- Ignore all setter and getter methods. Note the dot
in front of the method names! -->
<ignoreMethod>.set*</ignoreMethod>
<ignoreMethod>.get*</ignoreMethod>
</ignoreMethods>
{code}
> Ignores and Excludes do nothing
