How to fix "module was not instrumented." Reason:"path_is_excluded" error in Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console tool?

Question

I'm receiving the following problem while trying to instrument my dll with Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console tool. module was not instrumented. Reason: path_is_excluded."

I'm using Microsoft.CodeCoverage.A console tool for calculating code coverage. When I execute the instrument command with my dll, I receive the message module was not instrumented. Reason: path_is_excluded.

I absorbed the dll that ends with Clr, and the error is being generated.

(Example: MyProjectClr.dll, MyProject.CLR.dll)

Even I tried the following .runsettings file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RunSettings>

<DataCollectionRunSettings>

<DataCollectors>

<DataCollector friendlyName="Code Coverage">

<Configuration>

<CodeCoverage>

<ModulePaths>

<Include>

<!-- Include all DLLs -->

<ModulePath>.*</ModulePath>

<!-- Explicitly include DLLs ending with CLR.dll -->

<ModulePath>.*CLR.dll$</ModulePath>

</Include>

</ModulePaths>

</CodeCoverage>

</Configuration>

</DataCollector>

</DataCollectors>

</DataCollectionRunSettings>

</RunSettings>

It is not working. What has to be done to resolve this issue?

i am using VS 2022 Enterprise edition and dll and pdb patched properly. remaining all dlls which not end with the name CLR its working fine
