Is there a way to allow specific comments in the compiled js files with tsconfig while using the --removeComments: true flag in compilerOptions?
I use istanbul for unit test coverage and it allows skipping coverage tracking for specific lines/method by using the /* istanbul ignore next */ parsing hint. Now when I am using this in my current setup, this comment gets removed during compile time and the method isnt skipped in coverage.
Is this possible to achieve?
I have tried setting removeComments to false and verified that my coverage does increase after this. This verifies that the /* istanbul ignore next */ parsing hint is indeed being removed because of the above flag.
I have tried using // @ts-ignore before the parsing hint but that also didn't help.
