January 8, 2013

This is a bugfix release which addresses bugs found in 3.1.8 and earlier versions of Clover-for-Eclipse.

This release contains fix of one Eclipse-related bug. Coverage reporting in source code editor is now more accurate - in case when branch expression is partially covered:

• source code will have red underline (*)
• left margin will contain marker in double colours "green/red" (**)
  

(*) previously, it worked only for coverage related with unit tests; now also for coverage not related with tests

(**) previously, partial branch coverage was not taken into account for margin coloring

Changes in 3.1.8 for Eclipse

13 November, 2012

This is a bugfix release which addresses bugs found in 3.1.7 and earlier versions of Clover-for-Eclipse.

Improvements

1) There are several new options available in the "Window > Preferences > Clover" tab.

Clover Plugin logging output level

New "Info" level is available.

Automatically open Clover views when enabling Clover on a project

When selected (default setting), Clover will automatically open four standards views ("Coverage Explorer", "Test Run Explorer", "Test Contributions", "Clover Dashboard") in the current perspective every time Clover is being enabled on a project (e.g. by right click on a project and selecting "Clover -> Enable/Disable on"). De-selecting this option is useful when you don't use some of Clover views and don't want to have them re-appearing.

Preserve instrumented sources in temporary directory

When enabled, Clover will keep a copy of every instrumented source file in the temporary directory (in Eclipse workspace). This allows to see the exact content of file which was passed to the compiler. Use this option for troubleshooting only, i.e. when you believe that code was incorrectly instrumented. Files will not be automatically deleted, so you'd have to clean temporary directory manually. When you enable this option, the "Clover Plugin logging level" will automatically switch to "Info". After every compilation you can find a message in Error Log view about location of instrumented files, for example:

CLOVER: Instrumented sources have been preserved in <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\Moneybags\com.cenqua.clover.core\CLOV_INSTR_SRC

2) It's possible to define source code instrumentation level in the Project Properties window > Clover > Instrumentation tab:

Note, that the same option can be accessed from Coverage Explorer by left-click on a project:

Changing to the "method level" might be useful for very large projects in case when you need to know rough coverage only. The "method level" reduces Clover instrumentation overhead and thus reduces compilation time.

3) An alpha version of the Clover-for-Android (based on Clover-for-Eclipse) is available.

Changes in 3.1.7 for Eclipse

31 August, 2012

This is a bugfix release which addresses bugs found in 3.1.6 and earlier versions of Clover-for-Eclipse.

Improvements

Improved and corrected coverage reports in Eclipse IDE:

1. In case when per-test coverage is enabled, the pop-up shows correct hit count value (instead of 0 / 1).
2. The left ruler has the same orange colour as code background in case of coverage resulting from failed test.
3. The left ruler handles double colour in case of partial line coverage (green / red).
4. The left ruler handles double colour in case of partial line coverage related with failed test (orange / red / dark green).

The Coverage Explorer and Test Run Explorer views contain new button "Include coverage from passed tests only". It works in a same way as in IntelliJ IDE. When it's pressed, a coverage from failed tests equals is ignored - text editor shows hit count = 0, code is highlighted in red, percentage value in Coverage Explorer view is calculated for passed tests only.

The same action is also accessible from Coverage Explorer and Test Run Explorer context menu (opened by small triangle in top-right corner):

Clover-for-Eclipse will now protect you against accidental erasure of your source code  - when you try to put instrumented sources into one of source folders, the Clover dialog will show error message.

Manuals

We have prepared new manual how to instrument and test RCP Application under Eclipse IDE: Instrumenting+RCP+Application.

The new topic structure of Clover-for-Eclipse User's Guide has been established. We've added also 1. Clover for Eclipse in 10 minutes quick start guide.
