Using .simplecov does not generate coverage

[DannyBen]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade from simplecov 0.10 to the latest, and due to the new behavior where more files are considered for coverage in the new 0.11 release, I have to use add_filter to ignore some files.

So, since I am using both minitest and cucumber, I am trying to use the .simplecov file for configuration.

I have placed this snippet in it:

puts "Simplecov Config Here"
SimpleCov.start 'rails' do
  add_filter "/lib/runfile/"
end
SimpleCov.command_name "Minitest"

And left only require 'simplecov' in the test_helper and cucumber env file, but there is no coverage report generated unless I bring the config back into the test_helper itself.

I know the file is loaded, since running tests does show the result of the puts I put there, but no coverage is generated.

$ spring stop && bin/rake test
Simplecov Config Here
Running via Spring preloader in process 26181
Running via Spring preloader in process 26187
Run options: --seed 44430

# Running:

........

Finished in 1.438381s, 5.5618 runs/s, 11.8188 assertions/s.

8 runs, 17 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
Success

As a side note, perhaps rename the dot file from .simplecov to .simplecov.rb so it enjoys syntax highlighting without and such when editing.

EDIT:
I have tried using my own config file, and then use require_relative to include it in both testers, but then simplecov got a little nuts and considered blank lines and comments for the coverage (also with 0.10).

I think 0.11.2's change to the coverage_path is causing this. Give 0.11.1 a try.

Our Jenkins server recently started failing builds due to our rcov coverage output not being found and the only changes I could find are related to the bump from our previous 0.11.1 to the new 0.11.2.

Publishing rcov report...
file not found: /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/repo/workspace/coverage/rcov
rcov report directory wasn't found using the pattern 'coverage/rcov'.
Build step 'Publish Rcov report' changed build result to FAILURE
Build step 'Publish Rcov report' marked build as failure

I'm testing this theory right now by locking to 0.11.1, but our builds take 30+ minutes, so I'll report back after I know more.

No luck switching back to 0.11.1, back to the drawing board.

It might come from this change 1b5736f

I don't have much time to dig deeper into it though.

Rolling back to 0.9 for now... 😕

My bad! I didn't have require: false magic in my Gemfile. 🙊

As I read nothing more here and the last comment about this is a user error I'll close out - please ping and reopen if this problem persists for you.

Thank you all!
