[ANN] rcov-0.8.1: compatibility with Ruby 1.8.6-p11[01], intentional testing with RSpec, etc.

From: Mauricio Fernandez <mfp@...>
Date: 2007-11-19 20:06:01 UTC
List: ruby-talk #279790
Source code, additional information, screenshots... available at 
    http://eigenclass.org/hiki/rcov
Release info:
    http://eigenclass.org/hiki/rcov-0.8.1
Sample fully cross-referenced report at
    http://eigenclass.org/static/rcov-sample-report-full-crossref/

This release includes two RubyGems packages: a binary one for Win32 and a
platform-independent one, for all those with a compiler (or a lot of patience,
if willing to run rcov in pure-Ruby mode), so
  gem install rcov
should work once the packages have propagated to the mirror network.

Overview
========
rcov is a code coverage tool for Ruby. It is commonly used for viewing overall
test coverage of target code. It features:
* fast execution: 20-300 times faster than previous tools
* multiple analysis modes: standard, bogo-profile, "intentional testing",
  dependency analysis...
* detection of uncovered code introduced since the last run ("differential
  code coverage")
* fairly accurate coverage information through code linkage inference using 
  simple heuristics
* cross-referenced XHTML and several kinds of text reports
* support for easy automation with Rake and Rant
* colorblind-friendliness

What's new in 0.8.1
===================
Features
--------
* you can use an existent data file to generate coverage reports without
  having to execute your code again
* --spec-only: only consider covered code executed inside a spec
  (tested with RSpec 1.0.5, 1.0.8)
* --charset can be used to specify the charset in the Content-Type declaration

Bugfixes
--------
* workaround for bugs in Safari, IE (self-closing anchors break colorization)
* workaround for bugs in REXML shipped with 1.8.6-p11[01]
* rethrow exceptions generated by traced scripts
* compatibility with Ruby < 1.8.5

Thanks go to
============

Lee Marlow:
* patch allowing to run rcov against a data file with no input code

Kurt Stephens:
* patch to rethrow any exceptions generated by the traced scripts after
  report generation; notably SystemExit, allowing to use the exit code from
  test runners under rake.

Brian Candler:
* found compatibility issues with the REXML lib included in ruby-1.8.6-p110
  and provided a workaround

Mat Schaffer:
* reported missing line colorization on Safari and probably other browsers,
  owing to self-closing <a> not being handled properly despite being valid
  XHTML 1.0.

Sam Granieri:
* tested workaround for REXML bug

Kosmas Schz, Daniel Berger, Fran輟is Beausoleil, Bil Kleb:
* provided information about the ruby-1.8.6-p11[01] REXML problems


How do I use it?
================
In the common scenario, your tests are under test/ and the target code
(whose coverage you want) is in lib/. In that case, all you have to do is
use rcov to run the tests (instead of testrb), and a number of XHTML files
with the code coverage information will be generated, e.g.

    rcov -Ilib test/*.rb

will execute all the .rb files under test/ and generate the code coverage
report for the target code (i.e. for the files in lib/) under coverage/. The
target code needs not be under lib/; rcov will detect is as long as it is
require()d by the tests. rcov is smart enough to ignore "uninteresting"
files: the tests themselves, files installed in Ruby's standard locations,
etc.  See  rcov --help  for the list of regexps rcov matches filenames
against.

rcov can also be used from Rake; see README.rake or the RDoc documentation
for more information.

rcov can output information in several formats, and perform different kinds
of analyses in addition to plain code coverage.  See  rcov --help  for a
description of the available options.

Sample output
=============

See http://eigenclass.org/hiki/rcov (once again) for screenshots.

rcov can generate HTML reports and a number of plain text reports.  The
default text report (also used by default in RcovTasks) resembles


+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+-------+--------+
|                  File                               | Lines |  LOC  |  COV   |
+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+-------+--------+
|lib/rcov.rb                                          |   572 |   358 |  91.3% |
+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+-------+--------+
|Total                                                |   572 |   358 |  91.3% |
+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+-------+--------+
91.3%   1 file(s)   572 Lines   358 LOC



The (undecorated) textual output with execution count information looks like this:

 $ rcov --no-html --text-counts b.rb

                                                                       |      2
 a, b, c = (1..3).to_a                                                 |      2
 10.times do                                                           |      1
   a += 1                                                              |     10
   20.times do |i|                                                     |     10
     b += i                                                            |    200
     b.times do                                                        |    200
       c += (j = (b-a).abs) > 0 ? j : 0                                | 738800
     end                                                               |      0
   end                                                                 |      0
 end                                                                   |      0


rcov can detect when you've added code that was not covered by your unit
tests:

    $ rcov --text-coverage-diff --no-color test/*.rb

    .......................................
    Finished in 1.163085 seconds.
