ExcludeAttributes not working in NCover 1.5.8 - code-coverage

I created a custom attribute called "CoverageExcludeAttribute", and placed it above the classes which I want to exclude from my code coverage analysis. But the exclusions doesn't work. The coverage report shows coverage for the Test dll along with all the referenced assemblies (which includes classes containing the exclusion attribute)
<UsingTask TaskName="NCoverExplorer.MSBuildTasks.NCover" AssemblyFile="$(Libraries)\NCoverExplorer.MSBuildTasks.dll"/>
<Target Name="NcoverCoverage">
<NCover ToolPath="C:\Program Files\TestDriven.NET 3\NCover\1.5.8"
CommandLineExe="D:\Xunit\xunit.console.exe"
CommandLineArgs="MyTestDll"
WorkingDirectory="MyWorkingDirectory"
excludeAttributes="CoverageExcludeAttribute"
LogFile="coverage.log"
/>
</Target>
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Make sure that your attribute is defined in a global namespace or provide a full type name in excludeAttributes.

If you are using .NET Framework 4.0 you can use existing attribute
ExcludeFromCodeCoverageAttribute
From namespace:
System.Diagnostic.CodeAnalysis
That seems to be working fine for me when using NCover 1.5.8 at least when using NCoverExplorer. This attribute is picked up automatically.

SpecFlow :modify the report name generated using SpecFlow

Usually the SpecFlow report is generated using the projectName and name defined in your profile plus a time stamp: projectName_name_YYYY-MM-DDTHHMMSS
Is there any way I can modify this and give my custom report name?
add outputName="SpecRunReport.html" into settings tag within the default.srprofile file in your project.
you can also use custom output templates by using the code below instead
<Settings projectName="DemoSpecflow" projectId="{Project ID}"/>
<Report>
<Template name="CustomReportTemplate.cshtml"outputName="SpecRunReport.html"/>
</Report>

Dynamic basedir for Ant in Eclipse

The title might not be the best so let me explain what I am trying to do.
I have made an Ant buildfile that will help me with Maven goals. It's so much easier having to scope to Ant view and choose what I want to do. The biggest benefit with this is that I can use it in almost any project. Whether I deploy to tomcat or jboss or sakai(:deploy) or I handle mutiple instaces of the same server or skip tests... worst case I just change some path properties.
The drawback right now is that I have to keep a copy of this buildfile in every project.
What I am trying to do is have only 1 buildfile, in the workspace, and dinamicaly optain, from eclipse, the current project that I am working on. Be it module or parent I can refine that later.
So basically change the basedir for ant tasks based on the selected project in eclipse.
I have tried Ant Runtime Properties but for some reason properties like
${project_path}
fail to give me what their description say. I get this:
Variable references empty selection: ${project_path}
I hope it is clear what I am trying to do. So my question, I know it's possible, I'm just missing something and I hope some of you can help me with this.
I believe the trouble is in the Ant Runtime properties. I'm not 100% sure how I should use those.
Thank you!
EDIT after comment and further investigation..
Make the projectdir available as basedir property for ant like that :
Window > Preferences > Ant > Runtime > Properties
and create a property named basedir with value either :
${project_loc}
or
${workspace_loc}/${project_name}
and
<project basedir="${basedir}">
<echo>$${basedir} = ${basedir}</echo>
</project>
will work as expected, means echoing eclipse/yourworkspace/projectdir
Maybe there are other ways, i.e. via Ant Addon Ant4Eclipse, which aims to make Eclipse settings available for ant, never used it.

SONAR - How to exclude packages that is defined under "sonar.test"

I have a projects in JAVA that I analyze using sonar. Some of the java packages that I have are all under source folder. I also have some test file that I have under a different folders. Now, in Sonar, I organize my projects under a different structure, i.e. for a project "search", I only wants to include "search" package. These exclusion is quite easy to accomplished using sonar.exclusion properties. My question, though, is how about the test? how can I exclude some of the packages? Because from my testing, even though my source and test folder are using the same structure, the test packages are not automatically excluded when I specified "sonar.exclusions".
my folder structure:
/src/com/domain/
-- search/
-- utils/
-- pooling/
-- category/
/test/src/com/domain/
-- utils/
-- pooling/
Sonar properties:
<property name="sonar.sources" value="${path}/src" />
<property name="sonar.tests" value="${path}/test/src" />
<property name="sonar.exclusions" value="com/domain/utils/**/*,com/domain/pooling/**/*,com/domain/category/**/*" />
So, I am trying to only include the "search" package. The code above works in a way that it causes SONAR to only analyze my "search" package. This package can be seen in the SONAR "Components" tab. Unfortunately, in addition to the "search" component, I can also see the "util" and "pooling" components. I have done some testing and certain that these two components (utils and pooling) are the result of "sonar.tests" properties. Just a note though, even though "util" and "pooling" shows up in components, SONAR shows zero files under both of them. So going back to my question, is there anyway that I can do to exclude "util" and "pooling" from showing up under "Components"? Maybe using properties (i.e. sonar test exclusions)?
Btw, I am using SONAR 2.11 and is running under Red Hat linux. I'm using SONAR-TASK 1.2.
Any help is welcomed and appreciated! Thanks!
You can define exclusions in the Configurations for the project directly in sonar.
From the documentation:
Since version 3.3, it is also possible to:
Exclude tests file from being analyzed:
go to Configuration > Settings > Exclusions and set > the sonar.test.exclusions property
The trick is:
sonar.exclusions: excludes files from sources directory (i.e.sonar.sources), it has no effect on tests directory.
sonar.test.exclusions: excludes files from tests directory (i.e.sonar.tests), it has no effect on sources directory.
See https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus
And, Using sonar.test.exclusions with Sonarqube 6.3

AssemblyFileVersion causing build to fail

When I try to build my project, I get the following error:
error : Unable to update the AssemblyFileVersion for c:\builddir\MyProject\AssemblyInfo.cs: No stub entry for AssemblyFileVersion was found in the AssemblyInfo file.
I found this article, which implies that a "stub" property is required. So, in my AssemblyInfo.cs, I tried to specify one:
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0")]
However, it isn't recognised. I finally came across this article, which says that you can't use the AssemblyFileVersion property with the CF. The targets file used by the build script is also used for building other, non CF projects, and needs to update the FileVersion for them.
Is it possible to put something in the AssemblyInfo.cs file, the target file or the build script that stops this from being an issue?
Yes, something like this:
#if !(WindowsCE || PocketPC)
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0")]
#endif
If using the preprocessor in the manner described in the other answer doesn't work for you, consider putting the AssemblyFileVersion attribute into a separate source file, and conditionally including that source file in the project:
<Compile Include="AssemblyInfo.cs" />
<Compile Include="AssemblyInfo.AssemblyVersion.cs"
Condition="
'$(TargetPlatform)' == 'WindowsCE' OR
'$(TargetPlatform)' == 'PocketPC'"
/>
I'm not sure if there is already a property you can use in the project file, or if you would need to declare your own (perhaps $(Platform) is used for this?)

mxmlc and framework linkage - how to specify linkage as rsl

I'm trying to build my flex 4 project using ant. In Flash Builder 4, in project properties it's possible to set the "Framework linkage" to one of "Merged into code", "Runtime Shared Library (RSL)" or "Use SDK Default (Runtime Shared library)". How can I set the equivalent as mxmlc options in build.xml?
My current build.xml looks like this:
<target name="myapp">
<mxmlc
file="${PROJECT_ROOT}/myapp.mxml"
output="${DEPLOY_DIR}/myapp.swf"
actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8"
keep-generated-actionscript="false"
warnings="false" optimize="true" incremental="false" >
<load-config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>
<source-path path-element="${FLEX_FRAMEWORKS}"/>
<compiler.debug>true</compiler.debug>
<runtime-shared-library-path path-element="${FLEX_FRAMEWORKS}/libs/framework.swc">
<url rsl-url="framework_4.0.0.14159.swz"/>
<url rsl-url="framework_4.0.0.14159.swf"/>
</runtime-shared-library-path>
<compiler.source-path path-element="src"/>
<!-- List of external libraries -->
<compiler.source-path path-element="${MY_LIB}/src" />
<!-- List of SWC files or directories that contain SWC files. -->
<compiler.library-path dir="libs" append="true">
<include name="*.swc" />
</compiler.library-path>
<copy todir="${DEPLOY_DIR}" file="${FLEX_FRAMEWORKS}/rsls/framework_4.0.0.14159.swz"/>
<copy todir="${DEPLOY_DIR}" file="${FLEX_FRAMEWORKS}/rsls/framework_4.0.0.14159.swf"/>
</mxmlc>
</target>
I assumed that setting the runtime-shared-library-path directive and copying the framework swf, swz files into my target folder would make things work, but this does not seem to be the case.
The way I'm assessing whether this works is as follows: I use a custom preloader, and for it to work I need to have framework linkage as RSL. With "merged into code", my preloader gets stuck at a certain point and does not progress to my application swf. This is the same behavior i see when i use the above build.xml, which makes me think that the SWF is being built with framework linkage merged into code (rather than RSL linked).
A related question to this is how to determine if my swf is using RSL or not. I guess I could look at the size of the compiled output. But it seems there should be a way to tell if I'm using the external framework file or it's being bundled into the SWF somehow, without my knowledge.
This is a little tricky because the documentation is a little scarce on this. You probably need to set the following option either on the command line or a config file.
static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=false
The documentation from Adobe gives the following slightly cryptic description of what this option does.
Determines whether to compile against libraries statically or use RSLs. Set this option to true to ignore the RSLs specified by the runtime-shared-library-path option. Set this option to false to use the RSLs. The default value is true.
This option is useful so that you can quickly switch between a statically and dynamically linked application without having to change the runtime-shared-library-path option, which can be verbose, or edit the configuration files.
Here is a link to the documentation.
"About the application compiler options"
Note that from the documentation the default value is true. HOWEVER if you are loading a flex-config.xml file (default or custom) you should also check if this setting is present in that file and what it is. In my experience the default value for the frameworks/flex-config.xml is actually false. It appears however that in the example above that this may be set the other way.
(We use a different build system than ANT so I am not that familiar with the build.xml syntax you would need.)
