I just pushed a new release of dcov to Rubyforge. dcov is a tool to help you analyze the documentation of your Ruby code. This release builds on previous releases and checks coverage (i.e., is there documentation at all?) and adds quality analysis (e.g., did you document all the parameters? Is there an options list, and if so, is it documented? and so on). (Disclaimer: I realize quality is very subjective, and you are able to write your own analyzers very easily if you’d like to do your own subjective analysis) Now, on to the release. This is version 0.2.1 (Fun and Fanciful Edition). It will analyze your source code and produce an HTML report of what it found out. It is invoked by simply running: ``` dcov my_file.rb my_other_file.rb that_file.rb ``` The coverage.html file will be created in the current working directory. Please do use the RubyForge bug tracker or my inbox to file bugs. I’m working on a better solution, but for now that will function. If there’s enough interest, I’ll spin up a mailing list or you can join me in #dcov on Freenode (please do! ChanServ isn’t a very good conversationalist). You can get the release one of three ways: (1) gem install dcov (2) download it from RubyForge here: [http://rubyforge.org/projects/dcov/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/dcov/) (3) grab it from svn: svn co svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/dcov Visit [http://dcov.rubyforge.org/](http://dcov.rubyforge.org/) to stay up to date on what’s going on with this project… Cheers!

Nice. I’m looking to integrate DCov into a project I’m working on (CI portal). One feature I’ve been thinking may be nice to have in DCov is the ability to identify all errors raised in a method and add those to the quality analysis. I’m willing to whip up a raise detection class (using ParseTree) if there is any interest in integrating it? Cheers Ian ---

Oops. Seems I forgot to pull Ruport out of the gemspec. I’ll drop a new gem on there in a minute, and it should be propagated in a short while. –Jeremy On 9/17/07, Une Bévue [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > Install required dependency ruport?
