rust-testcov

Rust-testcov

Runs tests and reports crate's test coverage statitics. In one line. A motivational/guidance tool to help writing tests for small-to-medium scale projects, advanced usage support is not planned. Currently only supports Linux (and maybe mac?)

Prerequisites:

Rustup, nightly toolchain (LLVM tools have weird bugs on stable or when using system's native), and llvm-tools-preview rustup component. With nightly toolchain chosen, you can add the component with:

rustup component add llvm-tools-preview

Then, add the relevant tool folder to your $PATH. For me, it was:

export PATH=$HOME/.cargo/bin/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin:$PATH

Finally, check it is the Rustup's llvm-cov that gets to run with which llvm-cov. If cool, add the above export line to your .bashrc.

Installation:

No distro packages, too early, but you can try it out with Cargo-based install.

Cargo:

• cargo install --git https://notabug.org/Houkime/rust-testcov
• If not already, add cargo bin folder to your PATH. On linux, it is ~/.cargo/bin/.
• You can add it permanently by echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.cargo/bin/:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc' and restarting your terminal.

Usage:

In your crate's folder, run:

testcov

Yes, just one line. I wrote testcov because rawer ways to acquire coverage stats are way too elaborate to run often, and I just wanted to keep myself motivated and focused. Down the road, I plan displaying line-by line coverage when run with:

testcov <path to sourcefile>

but that's it API-wise.
