Configuring Ignore Patterns for Coverage

Meticulous uses a .meticulousignore file at the root of your repository to exclude files from source coverage tracking. The file follows the same syntax as .gitignore.

Create a .meticulousignore file at the root of your repository. Any file whose path matches a pattern in this file is excluded from coverage across all Meticulous projects that point to the repository.

# .meticulousignore

# Exclude generated files
src/generated/**

# Exclude Storybook
apps/storybook/**

# Exclude mobile-specific files
**/*.ios.*
**/*.android.*

If your repository contains multiple Meticulous projects — for example, separate dashboard and admin apps in a monorepo — you can create per-project ignore files so that each project only tracks coverage for its own source files.

Create a .meticulousignore.{slug} file at the root of your repository, where {slug} is derived from your Meticulous project name (see How the slug is computed below).

For example, a monorepo with a dashboard project and an admin project might have:

# .meticulousignore.dashboard
# Applied only when running coverage for the "dashboard" project

apps/admin/**

# .meticulousignore.admin
# Applied only when running coverage for the "admin" project

apps/dashboard/**

Patterns from .meticulousignore (global) and .meticulousignore.{slug} (project-specific) are merged together, so both apply at the same time.

The slug is derived from your Meticulous project name using these steps:

1. Convert to lowercase
2. Replace any character that is not alphanumeric, a hyphen (-), or an underscore (_) with a hyphen
3. Collapse consecutive hyphens into a single hyphen
4. Strip any leading or trailing hyphens

Your project name is shown in the Meticulous UI in the top-left of your project's page, and in the URL: app.meticulous.ai/projects/{org}/{project-name}.
