Is there a way to improve coverage (or ignore) autogenerated code of kotlinx.serialization?

[mskonovalov]

So currently if you use serialization all the generated classes got reported as not covered :(

Is there a way to automatically exclude such autogenerated helper classes from coverage?

(Intellij engine is a bit better than JaCoCo but still not perfect)

Thanks for looking into this.
I have a suggestion: if possible don't replicate jacoco feature where they require to add @generated annotation to the code you want to ignore.
Instead I'd suggest to allow to configure the list of annotations to ignore in build.gradle.
Thanks

maybe this?

    filters {
        classes {
            // ignore autogenerated classes generated by 'kotlinx.serialization'
            excludes += listOf("**.*\$\$serializer")
        }
    }

Since version 0.6.1, it has become possible to ignore classes marked with the specified annotations. You can add an exclusion of the annotation kotlin.serialization.Serializable like this example.
