IDE Code Coverage Plugin available

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

I have just uploaded the sources for the Code Coverage Plugin shown during my session at EKON 22 on Monday. Besides its functionality it may also give some guidance on writing IDE plugins in general.

 

https://bitbucket.org/uweraabe/codecoveragemagician

 

Tested only on Delphi 10.2.3 Tokyo!

I didn't visit the ECON. But everything, that has to do with IDE-Plugins, is very interesting for me.

 

Is there any description available? What is the function of the Code Coverage Plugin? Do you have Screenshots?

I will fill up these gaps as soon as I find some time.

Hi Uwe, 

 

Does it work for XE2 ?

Unfortunately not. It uses some ToolsAPI interfaces only available in later versions.

@Uwe Raabe Nice plug-in. Thanks for the work.

 

Quick Q: How do I enable code coverage for all the methods? Looks like I have to visit each method and enable CCM

Unfortunately, yes! Currently that is the only way to do that. I am aware that there is plenty of room for improvement in this plugin.

[John Kouraklis 94]

@Uwe Raabe Yes, many opportunities but it is good foundation.

 

BTW, I could not clone the repo cause SourceTree was not recognising it as  avalid git/hg repo. I only downloaded the files.

 

I am not sure if it is from your side or others have experienced the same

 

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

I am not using SourceTree, so I cannot test. TortoiseHG has no problems cloning the repo.

The BitBucket link is dead and I don't see any repositories listed under your profile. Did it move to GitHub, GitLab, or get merged into a different one of your amazing plugins?

 

Thanks!

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

@Jim McKeeth As it was a Mercurial repo it went down the drain when Bitbucket dropped Mercurial support. It seems I missed to convert it to Git, but I will see what can be done timely to make it available on GitHub again.

@Jim McKeeth Here it is: Delphi Code Coverage Plugin

Why Tokyo is the first supported IDE? Is this based on some new OTA?

[Jim McKeeth 104]

Awesome, thanks so much!

Great, will try it now 

[EDIT]
I tried to clone the repo, compiled it and install.
I got this error

CodeCoverage - Delphi 10.4 - Welcome Page [Built]

Registration procedure, Codecoverage@Main.Register in package C:\Attracs\DelphiCodeCoveragePlugin\Packages\Delphi 10.4 Sydney\CodeCoverage270.bpl raised exception class EAbstractError: Abstract Error.

 

Any clue ?

Simply because I started with Tokyo and updated to newer versions only. I will see how far back it can work without too much of a hassle.

I missed to push a commit. Should work now with the latest change.

[Uwe Raabe 2057]

There seem to be problems with the toolbar buttons in all Delphi versions except Delphi 11. In Delph i 10.4.2 there is even a crash when installing the plugin from the IDE. I will try to track that down as soon as my schedules allow.

[Berocoder 14]

Yes the Toolbar is not working in Sydney. But can still use hotkey so no big deal.

 

I have to manually mark each method to enable code coverage. Is it possible to just enable all code in a project for code coverage? My project have about 5 mloc with thousands of methods. It would be handy 😊

I doubt that. The code coverage is done by setting a special breakpoint in each code line. That might get a bit slow with 5 million breakpoints. I recommend to do code coverage on one or very few methods at once.

[Berocoder 14]

Ah ok. I am sure it will be slow. I have been looking for a tool that cover a whole project for Code coverage. There is https://github.com/magicmonty/delphi-code-coverage.
I had a memory there was some kind of problem last time I tried. Maybe I should look again.

But still impressive work with your plugin!

Does vtune do code coverage? 

[Berocoder 14]

Does it understand Delphi source ?
URL ?
