INSTALLATION

If you use zef, then zef install App::RaCoCo, or pakku add App::RaCoCo if you use Pakku.

DESCRIPTION

App::RaCoCo provides the racoco application, which can be used to run tests and calculate code coverage.

You may specify the following options:

• --exec - command, which needs to be executed to run tests. For example, you may pass --exec='prove --exec raku' to use Perl's prove util instead of default prove6. Use --/exec option to not run tests and use coverage data from the previous run;

• -l - short-cut for --exec='prove6 -l t';

• --lib - path to directory with target source files ('./lib' by default);

• --raku-bin-dir - path to directory with raku and moar binaries, which supposed to be used in the --exec ($*EXECUTABLE.parent by default);

• --fail-level - integer number - if the coverage level will be less than it then racoco will exit with a non-zero exit code;

• --silent - hide test result output;

• --append - append the previous run result to the new one;

• --html - produce a simple HTML page to visualize results. It is short-cut for --reporter=html;

• --color-blind - use with --html option to make more readable colors than green/red pare. It is short-cut for --reporter=html-color-blind;

• --reporter - name of a custom result reporter;

• --properties - pass custom properties here;

• configuration-name - name of section with properties in racoco.ini to use in tests (see below CONFIGURATION FILE)

NOTES

• RaCoCo application works only with MoarVM backended Raku compiler;
• It is common practice to not include use lib 'lib' line in test files. In a such case, we need to run tests with a command like prove6 -l. RaCoCo has a special short-cut option -l for you, then you do not need to write racoco --exec='prove6 -l';
• Unfortunately, the current Rakudo implementation may produce a little different coverage log from run to run. Probably, it is because of some runtime optimisations.

CONFIGURATION FILE

Tests are a thing that it is customary to run frequently. If you run tests with a command more complicated than just rococo -l, then you will like the fact that you can write all the configurations to a special racoco.ini file. For example, you regularly run rococo -l and racoco -l --silent --html --fail-level=82 before commit. Then you can create a rococo.ini file in the root directory of your project with the following content:

exec = prove6 -l

[commit]
silent = true
reporter = html
fail-level = 82

After that just run racoco regularly and racoco commit before commit. As an alternative for configuration file you can use environment variables with appropriate names, or --property=name:value;name:value command-line option, or a combination of them. The priority is: command-line arguments > --property option > environment variables > racoco.ini file.

CUSTOM REPORTERS

In addition to the output of results to the console, Rococo supports additional reporters with the --reporter option. Examples of such reporters are html or html-color-blind which build a simple HTML page with results. Please look for other reporters in the Ecosystem.

Information for Developers

A custom reporter must implement App::Racoco::Report::Reporter role, has full qualified name like App::Racoco::Report::ReporterTheName and live in App::Racoco::Report::ReporterTheName compilation unit (file). Then you can address to it through --reporter=the-name. For example, see ReportHtmlColorBlind.rakumod.
