Can I use luacov to collect coverage for .nse script? nse script is interpreted by an integrated Lua interpreter with nmap.

hishamhm commented 4 years ago

I'm not familiar with the nmap scripting environment, but the following things need to be supported:

it needs to support require to load Lua modules
it needs to support the standard debug library from Lua to add line counting hooks
it needs to support the standard io library from Lua to save the coverage data

If all three are true, then it should be possible to run require"luacov" and enable collecting of coverage data.

Hope this answers the question!
