Tracing is not easy to achieve with independent modules because they are some limitations in Igor. The problem is that Igor copies each igortest-* file into the IM and removes the connection to the local file doing this. Instrumenting afterwards in ProcGlobal doesn't change the igortest-* [IM] files and instrumenting in the IM doesn't work because igortest-* [IM] are no longer standalone procedures.
But there is a trick to enable tracing in IM:
We need to do instrumentation in ProcGlobal first. As we need to know when instrumentation is finished we can do this with a simple RunTest() call that instruments our files and calls a single test case.
The test case includes our IM file with Execute/P "INSERTINCLUDE \"filename\"". It is important that this file wasn't loaded before!
The test case also calls Execute/P "SetIgorOption IndependentModuleDev=1" to enable IUTF in IM and Execute/P "COMPILEPROCEDURES " to ensure that the IM file is loaded.
The IM file contains a TEST_END_OVERRIDE which is needed in step 7.
Afterwards the test case calls Execute/P "IM#RunTest(... without tracing ...)"
The single test case finishes and Igor executes the operation queue and starts the IM#RunTest() run with instrumented igortest-* [IM] files.
The TEST_END_OVERRIDE [IM] calls IUTF_Tracing_Cobertura#PrintReport(coberturaSource, coberturaOut)
These are the minimal steps to allow tracing in IMs and generating Cobertura. If Cobertura isn't needed the user can skip step 4 and 7. The user can also introduce more steps to make the calls cleaner.
I got a proof of concept running that will be used to test the solution for #6. I need to cleanup the files and link the commit here later.
