### Description I have been trying to get a file ignored using the .yml config. It seems to be matching all of the support docs and other answers on this site, but the file continues to be included in code coverage evaluation. ### Repository Private repo ### Versions macOS 10.15, Safari 13.0, Codecov 1.1.6 ### Additional Information Recent commit 69276a4e16162263e1ec0711ea5b6f59d7e10c00 ---

@drazisil In case you’re the one that would investigate this as well, could you take a look and see if there is anything I could do to get this to work properly? Thanks! ---

Yep, thanks for the ping. I’ll check the logs tomorrow, could you post or attach the codecov.yml here? There’s almost a 100% chance something is invalid, my apologies in advance as the validate endpoint is lax, its getting fixed asap. ---

Thanks! ```auto coverage: status: project: default: false # disable the default status that measures entire project unitTests: target: auto paths: "culture-cloud-iosTests/" app: target: auto paths: "culture-cloud-ios/" ignore: - "culture-cloud-iosTests/Matchers.swift" ``` I’ve also tried `- Matchers.swift` for the ignore line, but neither has seemed to work. ---

Humor me and try changing the paths to a map, please? ```auto Path: - "something" ``` Edit: I should ask, are you getting the two statuses you expect? ---

Yes, I am. But the file `Matchers.swift` continues to be included in the coverage report. ---

In that case I’ll probably need to check the logs. I’d be interested if changing the above helps though. ---

Just to confirm, you’d like me to change the ignore section to: ```auto ignore: - "Matchers.swift" ``` Is that correct? ---

No, the paths under your statuses. I know it seems it’s not related, but right now there are likely two separate processes reading that file and if any part is “bad” it will ignore the whole thing. ---

Ok, last sanity check. This should be the new file: ```auto coverage: status: project: default: false # disable the default status that measures entire project unitTests: target: auto paths: - "culture-cloud-iosTests" app: target: auto paths: - "culture-cloud-ios" ignore: - "culture-cloud-iosTests/Matchers.swift" ``` ---

I edited it. 😀 Sorry I’m not doing well at explaining, hope that helps. ---

Definitely helped. I’ve updated the file, and it’s running through CI now. Commit hash is `afdf23f3e51a76bc870a000b34c655132ddc5a95`. ---

Cool. If that doesn’t work I’ll check the logs tomorrow to see what’s wrong and report back. ---

Boom! It worked. One of the diff changes shown for the PR is that the `Matchers` file is now removed. Thanks! ---

Just in summary, in case someone else finds this issue, the key was to adjust the `codecov.yml` file from this: ```auto coverage: status: project: default: false # disable the default status that measures entire project unitTests: target: auto paths: "culture-cloud-iosTests/" app: target: auto paths: "culture-cloud-ios/" ``` to instead be this: ```auto coverage: status: project: default: false # disable the default status that measures entire project unitTests: target: auto paths: - "culture-cloud-iosTests" app: target: auto paths: - "culture-cloud-ios" ``` Without any other changes, the `ignore` section started working properly.
