Start application with params

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I can't start the application with the necessary parameters, so I can't run the 
tests.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

An option to provide the necessary parameters.

command line interface is the option to provide necessary parameters.

Just in case:

I'm using command line, I'm using windows, and do you even tried to run an 
application with parameter like "ApServer.exe teste /start -u RPCServer.pas 
-xml -html", i need to  start the application ApServer.exe with this two 
parameters "teste /start", so how do I do?

Try to run at least one test before post the first link that google returns.... 
;)

What is ApServer.exe ?! Renamed CodeCoverage.exe ... ?

I am using it daily on Delphi XE2 / Delphi 5 32bit daily and this issue w/o any 
real-wolrd test-case ... but plain assumption that params are not read into 
executabe using winapi cmd interface just do not make any sense ... ;)

Please providee coverage targeted *.pas files, executable uou are using ( 
ApServer.exe ) ... and I will take a look using the pramas you have inputted 
here. ;)

Plus ; If the sha1sum will not match ... I assume this is invlaid bug report as 
there is no prove the executable even relys to this project.

Thank you for understanding.

ApServer is the application that I'm trying to test, and to it starts, it needs 
two parameters "ApServer.exe [instanceName] /[start|install]", so the complete 
line what I'm trying to execute is:

CodeCoverage.exe -e "ApServer.exe teste /start" -m ApServer.map -u 
RPCServer.pas -xml -html
or
CodeCoverage.exe -e ApServer.exe teste /start -m ApServer.map -u RPCServer.pas 
-xml -html

And the output is:
The configuration was incomplete due to the following error:
The executable file ApServer.exe teste /start does not exist. Current dir is 
D:\ApScripter31202\Application\Bin

... You probaly wana see my current directory, so there's:

D:\ApScripter31202\Application\Bin>dir

I cann't provide you the source files, but I've created this sample (attached) 
for you, as you can see below, it has the same issue. If you fix this issue, 
please keep in mind that others applications can have "n" parameters... :)

"C:\Users\lluchini\Desktop\sample>CodeCoverage.exe -m Project2.map -e 
Project2.exe -u SampleCoverUnit.pas -xml -html
Started ok
Creating class info for SampleCoverUnit class SampleCoverUnit

After having processed debug events
Source dir:
Output dir:
After having reported

C:\Users\lluchini\Desktop\sample>CodeCoverage.exe -m Project2.map -e 
Project2.exe teste -u SampleCoverUnit.pas -xml -html
Exception parsing the command line:Unexpected switch:teste
Usage:CodeCoverage.exe [switches]
List of switches:"

Some days ago, I tried to retrieve the source code following instruction from 
"http://code.google.com/p/delphi-code-coverage/source/checkout" but I was not 
able to do that, I'm new to GIT, maybe if you tell me how clone the source, 
maybe I can fix this bug for you. 

Thks! ;)

It seems you are not reading the documentation carefully in the projects main 
page :)

The correct CMD line shoud be like this:

CodeCoverage.exe -e ApServer.exe -a teste start -m ApServer.map -u 
RPCServer.pas -xml -html

Refer to this parameter:

| -a Param Param2   | Parameters to pass on to the application that shall be 
checked for code coverage. ^ is an escape character |

Thanks, 

I'm sorry by the inconvenience, I just don't know how I didin't see it before, 
it is on the documentation main page and on the return at the prompt.

Once again, sorry by waste your time. :x

I've ran the tests last night, and the delphi-code-coverage handled very well, 
much better (faster and using less memory) than other paid solutions.

I would like to thanks by the solution provided. I can't send you money (right 
now... ;)) but if you need an extra hand to keep it running, you can count on 
me. :)

Thanks again!
