The project I am working on has a test project. As part of the test run, It generates a code coverage file. It used the below command to test and generate coverage XML.

dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" --settings .\CodeCoverage.runsettings

The issue is coverage file contains code coverage about Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory and HtmlAgilityPack other than the project assemblies. So I want to exclude those coverage data from the report and change .runsetting files as below. ( ) But it doesn't work. Here one other things is in Include I only include to have coverage for XXX.Search.dll but coverage include other project assemblies as well.

One other interesting thing I noticed is If I run the dotnet test without having --settings .\CodeCoverage.runsettings It would generate the same report.

I refer all possible options in here but did work for me.
