I'm trying to figure out the exclusion syntax in kover cli report processing:

ABCScope$Objects
ABCScope$Objects$1
How can I exclude these two cases generally?

Jacoco uses syntax like this: **/*Scope*.*
which handles it. I can't seem to figure this out for the report processing.

Second qn: Is the exclusion syntax the same for intellij-coverage-agent and kover-cli report ?

Hi,
For these cases, the equivalent is "*Scope\$*" .

This syntax should work the same, both in the Kover Gradle Plugin and in the Kover CLI

Kover report complains about dangling metacharacter (*), so do I have to pass it to both workflows in quotes?

I get this error: test:coverageRegexExcludes: Invalid escape sequence: \$

[Nikhil R]

so i'm definitely having some trouble figuring out the right syntax here. if i get the exclusion right, then technically Scope should show no value in my test coverage, right? cause right now it keeps getting included no matter what regex i use, locally or otherwise - it computes to being tested to 0 (which is expected for that class)

follow up qn: if i Include a "scope" class as part of a list of default includes, and then use 'exclude' to exclude the scope class, will that work or will it retain all the includes by default? which means i might just have to filter out the includes to begin with
