How to report merged coverage? #52

Closed jahagirdar closed 2 years ago

jahagirdar commented 2 years ago

Related to #22,

Each of my testcase exports its coverage data in an XML file. At the end of the regression I call a script which finds all 'coverage.xml' file and calls merge_coverage(log.info, "functional_coverage.xml", *all_files)

Now the next step is to call

{some coverage_db}.report_coverage()

Looking at the code it looks like the merged_db is local to the function and cannot be used. Is there some other way to report the merged data?

@jahagirdar merge_coverage is a function that is used to merge databases in XML/YAML format. It is not related to the CoverageDB datatype. It returns a merged database also in XML/YAML format.

You can use any external XML/YAML viewer to report the database in a readable format, e.g. https://www.xmlviewer.org/
