PIT Help Error : Couldn't exclude classes / test classes - error - tests did not pass without mutation when calculating line coverage. Mutation testing requires a green suite.

[KBALCHANDRAN]

Issue: Even though I give 'excludedClasses' and 'excludedTestClasses' PIT includes these tests in the run and is not excluding. How it should be changed. These are .java classes. Please help.

Here is my POM.xml:
<pitest-maven-plugin.version>1.4.9</pitest-maven-plugin.version>
<pitest.skip>true</pitest.skip>
<pitest.targetClasses.pattern>com.intuit.*</pitest.targetClasses.pattern>
<pitest.mutation.coverage.threshold>0</pitest.mutation.coverage.threshold>
.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.pitest</groupId>
            <artifactId>pitest-maven</artifactId>
            <version>${pitest-maven-plugin.version}</version>

If you create a minimal project that reproduces the issue I can take a look.

Could you please give me a sample POM.xml file that has the tags to be used for including and excluding files from mutation testing?

The tags are documented here
