digitalmars.D.ide - Add coverage highlighting to IDE

Just an idea for an IDE.

At the push of a button, run the unittests with -cov on the module being 
editted, read the coverage listing file, and then highlight the code lines that 
were never executed.

How to run only one module('s unittests)? With rdmd? Or just via dmd with a specific flag set?

With a custom unit test runner like this one: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/test_runner.d

I think Walter (?) added a flag to dmd: -main add default main() (e.g. for unittesting) Maybe runnng dmd with this flag on 1 module and then running it could help?

Yup. That's just what -main is for!

I think you have to take a look at : http://dlang.org/code_coverage.html It seems you just have to call dmd with the module name and -cov option as parameter. I used eclemma plugin for coverage highlighting on Eclipse, and a usefull feature is the capability to use layered result which allow you to increase the cover by using many configurations. Unit tests with highlighting decrease a little the need of debuggers, because using asserts or conditions aren't harder to use break points. Maybe it will be necessary to add names on tests.

As mentioned in [1] it is implemented in Visual D now. See Visual D's news [2]. [1] http://forum.dlang.org/thread/kml75b$1jm$1 digitalmars.com?page=2#post-ko7i81:24ng4:241:40digitalmars.com [2] http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/News36 -- Денис В. Шеломовский Denis V. Shelomovskij
