dotCover lets you perform coverage analysis of applications targeting .NET 5.
Now, you can refine what projects should be built when a continuous testing session is triggered. This lets you speed up continuous testing sessions. The feature works in both Visual Studio and Rider.
Now, the Unit Tests Coverage window in both Visual Studio and Rider lets you filter coverage results by target framework.
Before 2020.3, methods with outdated coverage info were highlighted only with a marker in the gutter. Now, in Visual Studio, methods with outdated coverage info are also highlighted in the Unit Tests Coverage window.
Now, you can use the Rider’s solution highlight level options to turn code coverage highlighting on and off.
The dotCover console runner for Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) lets you perform coverage analysis on ARM64 systems.
The new release brings several useful new features to the dotCover plugin in Rider:
--reportype=SummaryXml
parameter lets you
create a new report type which includes data on how many classes, methods, and
statements are covered in total.
Now, you can apply both runtime and coverage results filters in JetBrains Rider.
dotCover 2019.3 provides support for Unity 2018.3 and later on all operating systems. To perform coverage analysis of Unity tests, you must use JetBrains Rider.
dotCover 2019.3 gets a couple more improvements:
dotCover 2019.2 gets support for Mono 5.10 and later on Windows, macOS, and Linux. To perform coverage analysis on these operating systems, you must use JetBrains Rider or dotCover console runner.
Now, you can use dotCover console runner not only on Windows but on macOS and
Linux as well. To be more convenient on new platforms, the tool accepts command
arguments in Unix-style syntax. For example, now, both
/TargetExecutable=MyApp.exe
and --targetexecutable:MyApp.exe
are valid.
In addition, the console runner gets two new commands to simplify coverage analysis
of .NET Core and Mono applications and unit tests: cover-dotnet
and cover-mono
.
dotCover 2019.1 provides full support for .NET Core 2.0 – 3.0 projects not only on Windows, but on macOS and Linux as well. To perform coverage analysis on these operating systems, you must use JetBrains Rider or dotCover console runner.
