Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console.exe don't use my runsettings correctly with Google Test

Hello,

I have a full C++ code that is tested with Google test.
I generate a code coverage with VS 2022 with the Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console.exe.
The converage works well but I don't manage how to use the runsettings file to filter namespace that I don't want.
In me case, I don't want to cover the testing namespace of Google Test.
Here is the command I launch to instrument and collect coverage:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\CodeCoverage.Console\Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console.exe" -ArgumentList "instrument .\target\test\Debug\test_core.exe -s .\target\test\code_coverage.runsettings" -NoNewWindow -Wait  
The input file has been instrumented.  
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\CodeCoverage.Console\Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console.exe" -ArgumentList "collect .\target\test\Debug\test_core.exe -s .\target\test\code_coverage.runsettings -o .\target\test\Debug\coverage -f xml" -NoNewWindow -Wait  
Code coverage results : .\target\test\Debug\coverage.xml  

When I import the file in VS 2022 I see that it export everything:

but I explicitly ask to not export testing in many ways in the code_coverage.runsettings:

    Please try to use config from here:
    https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/dotnet-coverage#settings

    FYI <RunSettings> tag should be used only for scenarios like vstest.console.exe or 'dotnet test'.
    For dotnet-coverage tool and Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console you should use only inner part. Root should be <Configuration> tag.

    I find that the path code_coverage.runsettings was not correct BUT!
    If the path is correct I have an error

    There is an error in the XML document (0, 0).

    Hi @julian lalu ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    I see that there are some test characters beside <CodeCoverage>. This => <CodeCoverage> dsqdqsdsq. If they are just used for testing, have you deleted them?

    Besides, did you follow any guide or documents to use <Function>/<Functions> property? If you remove or comment the <Functions> block, will the .runsettings file pass to run and will the error disappear?

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu
