Hi,  
I am using SonarClound in AzureDevops to run on our c# projects. We have some integration tests we want to exclude from our code coverage. We only want to use the unit test for code coverage. Integration tests and unit test are separated into ther own folders.

We have tried to set the test folder and then exclude this from source by using the following two parameters:  
sonar.tests=Source/NetTransferCapacityService.FunctionApp.Tests/Unit/  
sonar.exclusions= **/NetTransferCapacityService.FunctionApp.Tests/Unit/** /\*

But we keep getting the error below. Any way to solve this or is there a smarter way to exclude tests from code coverage?

```auto

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Could you provide your full analysis log, please? And maybe also all your properties (leaving out sensitive values, of course).

We ended up excluding the tracking results from the dotnet test instead.
