Some notion :

A .NET solution is Sonarqube's project. A .NET solutions's project is Sonarqube's project's module.

I find two solutions to exlcure Sonarqube's module (.NET project) from code coverage.

1) Configure exclusion from Web UI Sonarqube

From : SonarQube MSBuild Scanner doesn't exclude files from analysis

• Open Sonarqube's project -> Code (in top menu)
• Open Sonarqube's module (left icon 'Open Component's Page) -> Administration (in top menu) -> General Settings
• Add ** in Codecoverage exclusion :

(Screenshot in French, but you get the idea)

2) Add the property "sonar.coverage.exclusions" in csproj

In your <.NET project>.csproj, add :

  ...
  
    
      
        **
      
    
  
  ...

This two solutions work for me, but I would prefer a global setting for Sonarqube's project (.NET Solution).
