LuaCov Reviews

LuaCov Description

LuaCov is a coverage analyzer that Lua scripts can use. A Lua script that has the luacov module loaded is executed. It generates a stats report with the number of executions for each line and the loaded modules. This file is processed by the luacov command-line script, which generates a report file that allows one to see which code paths were not followed. This file can be used to verify the effectiveness of a test set. LuaCov includes several configuration options, which have their defaults stored in src/luacov/defaults.lua. These are the global defaults. To use project-specific configuration, create a Luascript setting options as globals and returning a table with some options. Then store it as.luacov within the project directory where luacov is running. This config tells LuaCov, for example, that foo module and submodules must be covered. They are located in the src directory.
