Run your typical ObjectScript %UnitTest tests and see which lines of your code are executed. Includes Cobertura-style reporting for use in continuous integration tools.
A minimum platform version of InterSystems IRIS® data platform 2022.1 is required to run the latest version of TestCoverage.
InterSystems Platform Version | Compatible TestCoverage Version |
---|---|
IRIS >=2022.1 | 4.x |
IRIS <2022.1 | 3.x |
Caché / Ensemble | 2.x (via artifacts available in Releases) |
If you already have the InterSystems Package Manager, installation is as easy as:
zpm "install testcoverage"
Download an XML file from Releases, then run:
Set releaseFile = "<path on filesystem to xml file>"
Do $System.OBJ.Load(releaseFile,"ck")
First, clone or download the repository. Then run the following commands:
Set root = "<path on filesystem to which repository was cloned/downloaded>"
Do $System.OBJ.ImportDir(root,"*.inc;*.cls","ck",,1)
Note that, depending on your security settings, SQL privileges may be required for access to test coverage data. The relevant permissions may be granted by running:
zw ##class(TestCoverage.Utils).GrantSQLReadPermissions("<username or role that should have read permissions>")
For example:
zw ##class(TestCoverage.Utils).GrantSQLReadPermissions("_PUBLIC")
Generally speaking, set ^UnitTestRoot
, and then call ##class(TestCoverage.Manager).RunTest()
the same you would call ##class(%UnitTest.Manager).RunTest()
. For more information on InterSystems’ %UnitTest framework, see the tutorial and/or the class reference for %UnitTest.Manager.
The “userparam” argument can be used to pass optional information about code coverage data collection. For example:
Set tCoverageParams("CoverageClasses") = <$ListBuild list or %DynamicArray of class names for which code coverage data should be collected>
Set tCoverageParams("CoverageRoutines") = <$ListBuild list or %DynamicArray of routine names for which code coverage data should be collected>
Set tCoverageParams("CoverageDetail") = <0 to track code coverage overall; 1 to track it per test suite (the default); 2 to track it per test class; 3 to track it per test method.>
Set tCoverageParams("ProcessIDs") = <$ListBuild list of process IDs to monitor, or "Interoperability">
Set tCoverageParams("Timing") = <1 to capture timing data, 0 to not>
Set tCoverageParams("PyModules") = <$ListBuild list of Python module names to preload>
Set tCoverageParams("ListenerManager") = <instance of TestCoverage.Listeners.ListenerManager>)
Do ##class(TestCoverage.Manager).RunTest(,,.tCoverageParams)
The first two arguments to TestCoverage.Manager:RunTest
are the same as %UnitTest.Manager
.
At the selected level of granularity (before all tests or a test suite/case/method is run), there will be a search for a file named “coverage.list” within the directory for the test suite and parent directories, stopping at the first such file found. This file may contain a list of classes, packages, and routines for which code coverage will be measured. For .MAC routines only (not classes/packages), the coverage list also supports the * wildcard. It is also possible to exclude classes/packages by prefixing the line with “-”. For example, to track coverage for all classes in the MyApplication
package (except those in the MyApplication.UI
subpackage), and all routines with names starting with “MyApplication”:
// Include all application code MyApplication.PKG MyApplication*.MAC
// Exclude Zen Pages
-MyApplication.UI.PKG
As an alternative approach, with unit test classes that have already been loaded and compiled (and which will not be deleted after running tests) and a known list of classes and routines for which code coverage should be collected, use:
Do ##class(TestCoverage.Manager).RunAllTests(tPackage,tLogFile,tCoverageClasses,tCoverageRoutines,tCoverageLevel,.tLogIndex,tSourceNamespace,tProcessIDs,tTiming)
Where:
tPackage
has the top-level package containing all the unit test classes to run. These must already be loaded.tLogFile
(optional) may specify a file to log all output to.tCoverageClasses
(optional) has a $ListBuild list of class names within which to track code coverage. By default, none are tracked.tCoverageRoutines
(optional) has a $ListBuild list of routine names within which to track code coverage. By default, none are tracked.tCoverageLevel
(optional) is 0 to track code coverage overall; 1 to track it per test suite (the default); 2 to track it per test class; 3 to track it per test method.tLogIndex
(optional) allows for aggregation of code coverage results across unit test runs. To use this, get it back as output from the first test run, then pass it to the next.tSourceNamespace
(optional) specifies the namespace in which classes were compiled, defaulting to the current namespace. This may be required to retrieve some metadata.tPIDList
(optional) has a $ListBuild list of process IDs to monitor. If this is empty, all processes are monitored. If this is $ListBuild(“Interop”) or “Interoperability”, all interoperability processes and the current process are monitored. By default, only the current process is monitored.tTiming
(optional) is 1 to capture execution time data for monitored classes/routines as well, or 0 (the default) to not capture this data.tListenerManager
(optional) is an instance of TestCoverage.Listeners.ListenerManager that allows downstream applications to listen to the completion of unit test suites/cases/methods. It should use the AddListener method to populate with listeners that extend TestCoverage.Listeners.ListenerInterface. See isc.perf.ui for an example usagetPyModules
a $ListBuild list of Python module names the covered code uses that should be imported before the unit tests are run. This is for modules like pandas
and sklearn
, whose import sometimes breaks sys.settraceRunning unit tests with test coverage measurement via IPM is much simpler. Given a package mycompany.foo
, a coverage.list file within its unit test resource(s), and TestCoverage installed, tests can be run with coverage with:
zpm "mycompany.foo test -only -DUnitTest.ManagerClass=TestCoverage.Manager"
Additional “userparam” keys can be passed in the zpm command prefixed with -DUnitTest.UserParam.
- for example:
zpm "mycompany.foo test -only "_
"-verbose -DUnitTest.ManagerClass=TestCoverage.Manager -DUnitTest.JUnitOutput=/test-reports/junit.xml "_
"-DUnitTest.FailuresAreFatal=1 -DUnitTest.Manager=TestCoverage.Manager "_
"-DUnitTest.UserParam.CoverageReportClass=TestCoverage.Report.Cobertura.ReportGenerator "_
"-DUnitTest.UserParam.CoverageReportFile=/source/coverage.xml"
Note that it is best practice to put your unit tests in a separate directory from your source code, most commonly /tests
.
For more details and examples, see this InterSystems Developer Community article series.
After running the tests, a URL is shown in the output at which you can view test coverage results. If the hostname/IP address in this URL is incorrect, you can fix it by changing the “WebServerName” setting in the management portal, at System Administration > Configuration > Additional Settings > Startup.
The RunTest()
method reports back a log index in the “userparam” argument. This can be used to generate a report in the same format as Cobertura, a popular Java code coverage tool. For example:
Set userParams("CoverageDetail") = 0
Do ##class(TestCoverage.Manager).RunTest(,"/nodelete",.userParams)
Set reportFile = "C:\Temp\Reports\"_tUserParams("LogIndex")_"\coverage.xml"
Do ##class(TestCoverage.Report.Cobertura.ReportGenerator).GenerateReport(userParams("LogIndex"),reportFile)
This exports both the coverage results themselves and the associated source code (in UDL format) for correlation/display, and has been verified with the Cobertura plugin for Jenkins.
