Class with constants

[clickjamper]

Why do you need to write tests for classes which contains only constants like

internal object TestObject { const val TEST_CONST = "test_const" }

[shanshin]

Hi, Kover notifies only that an object has been declared in the code that is not explicitly used anywhere.

Unfortunately, when compiling, the constant is not stored in the class, so Kover cannot determine exactly how this object will be used - independently or as a scope for grouping constants.

In this case, it is possible to exclude such classes from the report by name or using an annotation.

@shanshin Fixed in agent version 1.0.741

Fixed in Kover 0.7.5

I updated Kover to 0.7.5, but it still shows that an object containing only constants has no tests.

@BulatInDrive, thanks for the report! The problem is reproduced for string constants
