Vim report for Devel::Cover (Perl QA Hackathon)
Last night over dinner I had a discussion with Miyagawa about what Devel::Cover could steal from Ruby. He mentioned a Ruby backend which uses Vim signs to show coverage information.
So today I shamelessly stole it and produced a basic version for Devel::Cover.
Devel::Cover has more coverage criteria, so extra work will be required to provide this information, but the report seems useful for now. To use it run
$ cover -report vim
and then in vim:
:so cover_db/coverage.vim
I'd be happy to get bug reports, feature requests, patches or even pull requests against the repository. And if anyone would like to take this idea and produce a backend for emacs or any other editor, please do so.
This has just been released in Devel::Cover 0.84. This is the second Devel::Cover release I have made at the QA hackathon in Paris this weekend. Many, many thanks to all the organisers, sponsors and participants.
I don't really blog about Perl.
Devel::Cover is awesome. I've been seeing the work you've done on it lately, modernizing it and adding features. It's great.
Thank you for doing all of this! :)
It's awesome!
One thing is that only shows the signs on the files in blib/lib for me. Was that the intention or am I doing something wrong?
@sawyerx Thanks!
@gabor Are you using version 0.85? The initial release had the behaviour you observe but, of course, it is much more useful to annotate the files you edit rather than (just) the copies which are run, so the latest release should do just that.
