Some other info

• File name examples: coverage.json, domain-coverage.json, api-loadbalancer-coverage.json
• The coverage files can be for any project. The Extension works with multiple opened IDE's - It will only work with the files (Filepaths) that it finds in the coverlet.json and with the current window that you are working with (across several IDE's)
  • Large amounts of files in the coverlet directory may cause some lag during reload process - Please let me know how you get on.
• Large amounts of tests (in max several files) should not really be much of a problem.
• Adding, removing or changing files in the directory, will automatically reload the data in the extension but only once you switch a tab or open/close a file in VS
• If you have ^1 two or more coverage files that overlap with the same file name- and one says there is 0 coverage and another says there is coverage... it could be reported incorrectly as no coverage. I am aware this is an issue but it requires much more time from me to work out how to fix this issue

Tips

In the c:\coverlet directory I created a PowerShell Script which I use dotnet test to run tests then the next line is coverlet (assuming you have it installed globally) . I use coverlets --output argument to place the results into this directory with a specific name. Like this I can run multiple tests, with multiple results files and the extension will place the coverage boxes for the appropriate file. So each time I delete the files and rerun the tests my VS should show updated coverage now. Plus coverlet gives you some coverage percentages while running so that is a good metric to try and boost each time.

dotnet test C:\Code\domain\Domain.Tests.Integration\Domain.Tests.Integration.csproj
coverlet  C:\Code\domain\Domain.Tests.Integration\bin\Debug\Domain.Tests.Integration.dll --target "dotnet" --targetargs "test C:\Code\domain\Domain.Tests.Integration --no-build" --output "C:\coverlet\domain-integration-coverage" --format json
