Re: RDi 9.1 Code coverage tool - Main Procedure not covered

I have just noticed that this isnt really compatible with RPGUNIT
anyway, the Coverage report seems to only show the last test case that
is run as part of the process, not the whole run. I just ran the test
cases in reverse order and got a completely different report out, and
lines that are definitely covered bu the Unit test arent shown as being
hit.



I dont really fancy running the code coverage tool for each individual
test case, and RPGUNIT is our standard unit testing tool for APIs. So
this coverage checker isnt really appropriate for us Shame L

They would appreciate it if you brought it up in an official PMR.

Thanks Buck,



Do I need to raise this with IBM, or will they pick it up from this
board?

I have just tried the code coverage tool to check the coverage one of
our RPGUNIT test programs.

It seemed to work correctly for all subprocedures, however the

coverage

tool shows zero% coverage for all of the main procedure code (this
cannot be the case as the Main Procedure is what is calling the
subprocedures). The report shows the Main procedure code (including
*INZSR) all highlighted in Red and there is a 0% coverage item in the
Program tree.

I see the same thing. This appears to be an issue for programs with a
main procedure. Programs that use *ENTRY PLIST show coverage properly
in the 'mainline' section. For example, this shows 100% coverage:

d binary s 9b 0
d int s 10i 0
d uint s 10u 0

* all these occupy 4 bytes of storage
c eval binary = *hival
c eval int = *hival
c eval uint = *hival

c binary dsply
c int dsply
c uint dsply

This shows 0% coverage:

// *entry plist
dcmpfr1 pr extpgm('CMPFR1')
d inPrdFil 10
d inPrdLib 10

dcmpfr1 pi
d inPrdFil 10
d inPrdLib 10

// load work fields from input
prdFil = %trim(inPrdFil);
prdLib = %trim(inPrdLib);
