About Coverage Gutters

Call for Maintainers

Looking for helpful people to assist with bugs, new features or performance improvements. The project has a full suite of tests and code linting, making it very new contributor friendly. Take a look at some of the open github issues and see if any catch your eye! https://github.com/ryanluker/vscode-coverage-gutters/issues

Features

• Supports any language as long as you can generate a lcov style coverage file • Extensive logging and insight into operations via the output logs • Multi coverage file support for both xml and lcov • Coverage caching layer makes for speedy rendering even in large files • Relative coverage file resolution for those with complex file paths • Preview coverage reports inside the editor • Huge amount of workspace settings to customize the features to your liking • Colour compatibility with light and dark themes • Custom coverage paths with a hot swapping feature for remote builds

Common Commands

Watch (activated via command palette or shortcut icon on the status bar): Activating watch allows the extension to keep track of coverage changes and update its cache. It also will automatically apply coverage to a file if some exists.

Display (activated via command palette or shortcut key): Displays coverage for the current activated file only, does not update if the coverage files change.

Preview Report (activated via command palette): Shows you a html preview of your coverage reports in your editor.
