How to run kcov against a script run as sudo? #372

Closed davehouser1 closed 2 years ago

davehouser1 commented 2 years ago

I want to be able to run the following:

sudo kcov --clean --include-path=/home/jenkins /var/www/html/ sudo bats ./test_script.bats

However kcov only runs tests against sudo, which gives no results. how can I get kcov to look past sudo in the syntax of the executable to run?

I cannot run kcov as root directly.
I cannot put any part of sudo bats ./test_script.bats in quotes.
sudo bats ./test_script.bats must be run for tests to be run properly.

More details found here in this post

Nm, I just realized I was reading kcov output incorrectly. My command works fine without the sudo before bats. Closing.
