Tarpaulin Reviews

Tarpaulin Description

Tarpaulin, a code coverage reporting tool for Cargo build system is named after a waterproof cloth that was used to cover cargo on ships. Tarpaulin currently provides working line coverage, but the results may not be 100% reliable. It has taken a lot of work to get it working on many different projects. However, sometimes unique combinations of packages or build features can cause problems so please report any issues. Check out our roadmap to see the planned features. Linux Tarpaulin's default trace backend is still Ptrace. It will only work with x86_64 processors. This can be changed to llvm coverage instrumentation by using --engine llvm. For Windows and Mac, this is the default collection method. You can also run it in Docker. This is useful for those who don't have Linux but still want to run it locally. during development.
