Exclude packages from Jacoco report using Sonarrunner and Gradle - gradle

Question

Is there a way to exclude packages from SonarQube(instrumented by gradle + sonar-runner) coverage reports(generated by jacoco) without excluding them completely from the project ?
Below is what i tried so far:
Version information
SonarQube 4.5.1
Gradle 2.2.
Jacoco configuration
// JaCoCo test coverage configuration
tasks.withType(Test) { task ->
jacoco {
append = false
// excluded classes from coverage defined in above configuration
excludes = excludedClasses()
}
jacocoTestReport {
doFirst {
classDirectories = fileTree(dir: "${buildDir}/classes/main/").exclude(excludedClasses())
}
}
}
Sonarrunner configuration
Property setting to exclude package from Sonar analysis. Adding this to my configuration lead to the situation that the packages do not show-up at all in Sonar.
property 'sonar.exclusions', excludedClasses().join(',')
Property setting to exclude packages from jacoco. Setting this leads to the situation that packages are excluded from coverage analysis however show up having 0% which accumulates to bad total scores.
property 'sonar.jacoco.exclusions', excludedClasses().join(',')

Answer 1

I have managed to exclude particular packages from coverage reports by using sonar.coverage.exclusions property in sonar-project.properties. Property is described in official documentation

Answer 2

To combine #Mikalai's answer and #pavel's comment into something that's a bit easier to copy and paste:
To exclude a package or class from all Sonar checks (coverage, code smells, bugs etc), add the following to build.gradle:
sonarqube {
properties {
property 'sonar.exclusions', "**/com/some/package/**"
}
}
To exclude a package or class from only Sonar code coverage checks, add the following to build.gradle:
sonarqube {
properties {
property 'sonar.coverage.exclusions', "**/com/some/package/**"
}
}

Answer 3

To exclude res, assets, custom packages and auto generated classes from sonar code coverage for android project.
Create Exclusion list like below
exclusionList = [
//Res and Assets
"src/main/res/**/*.*",
"src/main/assets/**/*.*",
//Auto-Generated
'**/R.class',
'**/R$*.class',
'**/BuildConfig.*',
'**/*Manifest.*',
'android/**/*.*',
'androidx/**/*.*',
// excluded packages
**/com/<your-package-path>/**/*]
Provide the exclusion list to sonar coverage property
property 'sonar.coverage.exclusions', exclusionList
NOTE:
Keep the full path to exclude the full directory
**/* includes all the files and sub directories under the parent directory Refer Here
*Bean includes all the class names contains "Bean".
**/ starting with it covers the parent directories for the particular package.
Run Jacoco command and check sonar portal's coverage section after doing above changes.

Answer 4

If you are using Gradle 5+ with Kotlin DSL, you can exclude the files from coverage like this:
// configure the SonarQube plugin
sonarqube {
val exclusions = listOf(
"**/com/some/package/**",
"**/all/files/under/package/*",
"**/com/some/package/OneClass.kt"
)
// exclude the directories only from coverage (but not from other analysis)
// https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner-for-gradle/
properties {
property("sonar.coverage.exclusions", exclusions)
}
}

Answer 5

exclude multiple module or class from Sonarqube. add below code to
build.gradle:
example :
package name= com.student.result.detail , com.customer.order ,com.student
sonarqube {
properties {
property 'sonar.exclusions', "**/com/student/result/details/**",
"**/com/customer/order/**",
"**/com/student/**";
}
}

Answer 6

This worked for me with gradle 6, sonarqube plugin 2.8
property "sonar.coverage.exclusions" , "**/com/some/package/entity/**/*," + "**/com/some/package/config/**/*,**/com/some/package/dto/**/*,**/com/some/package/dao/**/*"
NOTE: packages are comma separated but in a single string

Answer 7

Most of the answer I have seen here didn't work for me, resulting on the following error:
Execution failed for task ':sonarqube'.
> Could not find method property() for arguments [sonar.coverage.exclusions, **/package/path/Class1**, **/package/path/Class2**, **/package/path/Class3**, **/package/path/Class4**] on object of type org.sonarqube.gradle.SonarQubeProperties.
The reason is that sonar is asking for a string instead of several comma-separated strings as property value. So instead of:
sonarqube {
properties {
property 'sonar.exclusions', "**/com/student/result/details/**",
"**/com/customer/order/**",
"**/com/student/**";
}
}
The solution for me was:
sonarqube {
properties {
property 'sonar.exclusions', "**/com/student/result/details/**,"+
"**/com/customer/order/**,"+
"**/com/student/**";
}
}
