CoverCut

Just cut it! 🔪

english русский

🤔 What is it?

Coverage reports can return a lot of false positives, e.g. in most cases you don't need to cover Error() string implemenation, cause 99.9% it's just a fmt.Sprintf caller and that's it.

Covercut cuts your cover profiles, and adding ignoring feature, when you getting cover reports. Let's see it in action:

package main

func DoSomething() error { // this part we strictly need to test! ⚠️
    if answer == 42 {
        return doX()
    }

    if err := doDangerous(); err == nil {
        return nil
    }

    // if go test won't catch this line, your Error() func won't be covered 😱
    return ErrWorldIsInFire{Wrapped: err}
}

type ErrWorldIsInFire struct {
    Wrapped error
}

func (e ErrWorldIsInFire) Error() string { // But this one? Who cares? 🔥
    return "Oh jeez! We will die! Here is the error: " + e.Wrapped.error()
}

This tool helps you filter coverage outputs, and ignore functions you don't need to test!

type ErrWorldIsInFire struct {
    Wrapped error
}

//                                            ↓  this comment helps you to
//                                            ↓ filter coverage false positive!
func (e ErrWorldIsInFire) Error() string { //cover:ignore
    return "Oh jeez! We will die! Here is the error: " + e.Wrapped.error()
}

✨ Features

⌚️ Getting started

Here are some usage cases, how you can do some stuff:

Add ignore comments

type ErrCustom struct{}

func (e ErrCustom) Error() string { //cover:ignore
    return "Oops! Some error here!"
}

Download and test

🔘 $ brew install covercut

     Processing... Done!

🟢 $ go test -coverprofile=cover.out

     # first argument is a path to your module,
     # so covercut will understand where to find comments
🟢 $ `covercut ./path/to/source/code ./cover.out > cover_filtered.out`

🟢 $ # Tadah! Now you can analyze your cover profile without false positives!

One important thing

Even that maintainers of this project are generally from russia, we still stand up with Ukraine, and from beginning of war, decided to stop paying any taxes, or cooperate in any case with government, and companies, connected with government. This is absolutely nothing compared to how much pain putin brought to the fraternal country. And we are responsible for our inaction, and the only thing we can do is to take at least any actions that harm putin’s regime, and help the victims of regime using all resources available for us.
