IntelliJ IDEA: ignore trivial methods in code coverage


In IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2 how can I ignore trivial getters and setters (trivial methods) during test coverage measurement?

// should be measure
public void complex() {
    fancy();
    interesting();
    dropDatabase();
}

// should not be measured
public int getNumber() {
    return this.number;
}

Measuring every line would result in 75%. Measuring only the above method would result in 100%. And those are 100% of the code useful for testing.

How come I don't find anything about that on the Internet? Am I diving into bad practice?


UPDATE

This code is also eligible for testing:

// should also be tested as it contains logic
public Integer getValidationProgress() {
    if (validationProgress == null) {
        validationProgress = 0;
    }
    return validationProgress;
}

Solution

  • Now it is possible, starting with Intellij Idea 2022.3 it is now possible to ignore methods based on annotations.

    Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Coverage
    

    You can define in settings which annotations should mean that method is ignored. You can create a new annotation or use existing annotations.
