Ignoring some files in coverage testing when github actions is taking care of continuous integration

General Usage
2

Here’s what worked for me.

  1. The list of files to be skipped is not included in the main CI.yml file but included in a separate yml file with the ignore tag. Here’s my specific example:
ignore:
  - "src/proto*.jl"  
  - "src/plotsForPaper.jl"
  - "src/early_tests_of_bases.jl"
  - "src/convertStrin.jl"
  - "src/convertVaspData.jl"
  1. This file is named codecov.yml (not .codecov.yml)
  2. This file is placed in the root folder of the repo, not in .github/workflows.
