Coverage of functions in a File NameSpace fails #3

Closed Gianfrancoalongi closed 11 years ago

Gianfrancoalongi commented 11 years ago

It is currently not possible to cover functions in a file when running the file-path version of unit test execution.

Conf ← ⎕NEW UTcover Conf.pages ← '/home/APL/coverage' Conf.cover ← ⊂ '#.UTFile.plus_function' Conf UT.run '/path/to/file/File.dyalog'

Will not cover the plus_function in the UTFile NameSpace in the file File.dyalog.

The problem is that, although the function is correctly pinpointed

Conf.cover ← ⊂ '#.UTFile.plus_function'

Once the file is loaded, the namespace will be embedded within the UT namespace. Therefore, the namespace the functions are in, will be #.UT.UTFile.plus_function This only happens for file execution.

Gianfrancoalongi commented 11 years ago

The ⎕CR of functions to be covered has not been affected, since the File to test on has previously (and still is) loaded into the workspace before testing.

Thus, #.UTFile exists, alongisde #.UT And so, the framework can ⎕CR #.UTFile.plus_function but, it is #.UT.UTFile that is executed.

Morten Kromberg suggests that the ‘-target’ modifier, could possibly be a solution to this problem.

   ⎕SE.SALT.Load '/blah/blah/UT -target=#'

… will always put the namespace in #.UT, even if you are in some other space at the time.

Actually, this could work fine. Seems to fit the bill.

Fixed!
