I am using PHPUnit 5.2.9, PHP 5.6.19 and Xdebug 2.4.0 (without RC), as well as the netbeans IDE.
Like any other project, I use interfaces and an odd empty extended class. Since these files do not contain executable code, why are they listed in my code coverage reports? Moreover, they are listed as 0% covered by 0/0 methods. (I would be happy if it were 100% to see fewer reds)
I tried to exclude them in the file phpunit.xml:
<whitelist processUncoveredFilesFromWhitelist="false"> // true make no difference
<directory suffix=".php">./Annotation</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./Cache</directory>
<exclude>
<directory suffix=".php">./*Interface</directory>
<directory suffix=".php">./*/*Interface</directory>
</exclude>
</whitelist>
But it seems that globs (*) are only valid for directories. However, I can use the tag <file>and exclude them separately. However, there are many files to exclude when they should not be included in the first place.
Am I doing something wrong or is this standard behavior?
