Hi Is there a way to get the code coverage when running RSpec or Test::Unit stuff with ironruby? It would help me a lot to set build tresholds etc. Because I guess the C# tools won’t be able to do it and the ruby tools neither. Is it in the cards? What would it take to implement something like that for IronRuby? * * * Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto C.

If you want to get coverage numbers for C# code you should be able to do: set PERF\_TOOLS=%VSINSTALLDIR%\Team Tools\Performance Tools set DSTDIR=an empty directory to store dlls you want to instrument to (the tests must load them from here) # instrument each dll for which you want to get the coverage numbers “%PERF\_TOOLS%\vsinstr.exe” /coverage /outputpath:%DSTDIR% your.dll # start code coverage service: “%PERF\_TOOLS%\vsperfcmd.exe” /start:coverage /OUTPUT:report\_file # run your unit tests here # stop code coverage service “%PERF\_TOOLS%\vsperfcmd.exe” /shutdown Open report\_file.coverage in VS.

rcov can spit out junit xmlI’m sure it can spit out the xml we want. Ideally rcov would be ported and usable for both C# and ruby code when executing tests. Seeing how many people are trying cucumber on ironruby it could be a good thing to have early on. * * * Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto C.

Maybe we’d have to mix tools to munge the profiling data and provide a uniformised set in return. Like: - vsinstr + a port of rcov for windows - mono profiler + port of rcov again on mac / linux just a thought, but from a user perspective I am definitely interested to see a mix of C# and Ruby stacks into one view. That’s a project on its own though 🙂 – Thibaut On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 6:09 PM, Tomas M. \< ---

Anyone out there interested in tackling this? I know Ivan’s busy, but someone out there might have time ☺ From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Ivan Porto Carrero Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 9:45 AM To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] code coverage of ironruby code rcov can spit out junit xml I’m sure it can spit out the xml we want.
