Can missing else blocks be globally ignored in Istanbul

Question

I have code that has multiple if statements but no corresponding else statements. I have been adding /* istanbul ignore else */ individually for all these if statements in order to ignore the corresponding missing else blocks. Is there are way to ignore all the missing else statement?

Answer 1

Per the current Istanbul documentation:

1. The way to ignore an "else path" coverage is: (/* istanbul ignore else */

2. In Ideas for Later the author is considering adding " "default-excludes": true," to the configuration file.

BOTTOM LINE:

it appears that in the current version, you must add /* istanbul ignore else */ to each block you wish to exclude.
