test_runner: support glob matching coverage files

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/RedYetiDev/coverage-patterns into main

Fixes #53508 (closed) Fixes #51222 (closed)

This Pull Request introduces two new command-line interface flags to Node.js:

  • --test-coverage-include: Allows users to specify glob patterns to include specific files in the coverage report.
  • --test-coverage-exclude: Allows users to specify glob patterns to exclude specific files from the coverage report.

Notable change text, if any:


Individual file patterns can now be excluded or exclusively included in coverage reports:

- To exclude a specific pattern, use `--test-coverage-exclude`. For example:
  ```bash
  node --experimental-test-coverage --test-coverage-exclude=**/*.test.js .
  ```
  This command excludes all files ending with `.test.js` from the coverage report.

- To include only files that match a specific pattern, use `--test-coverage-include`. For example:
  ```bash
  node --experimental-test-coverage --test-coverage-include=src/**/*.js .
  ```
  This command includes only `.js` files located in the `src` directory and its subdirectories in the coverage report.

Both options can be specified multiple times to match multiple glob patterns. If both options are used in unison, files will need to abide by both guidelines.
