How can I exclude certain files from my Python coverage XML report?

How can I exclude certain files from my Python coverage XML report?

You can exclude files by using the --omit option in the coverage command. For example: coverage xml --omit='*/tests/*'.

Can I exclude multiple patterns?

Yes, you can specify multiple patterns separated by commas, like this: --omit='*/tests/*,*/migrations/*'.

What if I want to exclude files based on their names?

You can use wildcards in the patterns. For instance, --omit='*test*.py' will exclude all files with 'test' in their names.

Is there a way to see which files are excluded in the report?

Yes, you can check the coverage report in the terminal or the generated XML file to see which files were included or excluded.
