How do you add an exclusion using covselect?

Question

Examples I have been able to find suggest the following for an exclusion:

covselect --add \!/usr/src/thing/to/exclude

However, when I do this, and list my inclusions, I get:

BullseyeCoverage Select Regions 8.8.9 Linux-x64 License 9395 
Copyright (c) Bullseye Testing Technology 1990-2013
include folder /usr/src/
include folder /!/usr/src/thing/to/exclude/

?

Try to wrap the source you'd like to exclude with ' '. For example: `covselect --add '\!/usr/src/thing/to/exclude'` — Omer Dagan, Feb 02 '14 at 09:04

It turns out that escaping the exclamation mark is only necessary for interactive bash shells. When I put this into a script, the escape became literal and covselect was given the \ as a path separator, which was then converted into /. By removing the ! escaping in the script, it works just fine.

In my case it seems that the missing / at the end of the path was the problem.

Instead of for example

covselect --add '!**/usr/include'

put

covselect --add '!**/usr/include/'
