Normally the ebin directory doesn't contain any source files. Therefore it won't be kept in the repository by, at least, mercurial and also maybe git unless you put some .keep file in it or do some other hack. The ebin directory is created by rebar compile, but if rebar eunit is called before rebar compile, you end up with a {'EXIT', {{badmatch,{error,bad_directory}},...}. Another approach would be not to match cod:add_pathz(ebin_dir()) with ok, but I think this is an ok solution as well.
Add a coverage report similar to the one output to index.html except
that it is output to the terminal if the new rebar.conf option
'cover_print_enabled' is set to true.
Modules that include the EUnit header get an implicit test/0 fun,
which cover considers a runnable line, but eunit:(TestRepresentation)
never calls. Result: prod modules with tests can never reach 100%
coverage. Ironic. In this case, fix it by decrementing the NotCovered
counter returned by cover:analyze/3.
1. When running the eunit command with the convention of putting
tests in "*_tests" modules, eunit would run those tests twice. This
is because: 1) eunit:test/1 will naturally look for foo's tests both
in foo, and in foo_tests, and 2) eunit:test/1 was being folded over
all project modules. The fix is to filter "*_tests" modules from the
list passed to eunit:test/1.
2. When running the eunit command with cover enabled and tests in a
'test' directory, cover would error because it couldn't find the
source code for those tests. This is because cover:analyze/3 will
only find module source in "." and "../src". This is hard-coded in
cover :-(. Since cover shouldn't be calculating code coverage on test
code anyway, the fix is to not fold cover:analyze/3 over
non-production code.
3. When running the eunit command with cover enabled and a test suite
defined, cover would only attempt to calculate coverage on the the
test suite itself. This was because only the suite was passed to
cover:analyze/3. The fix is to fold cover:analyze/3 over all the
production code, filtering out the suite module if it is defined.
eg. rebar eunit -- runs all tests in all modules
rebar eunit suite=foo -- only runs tests in foo.erl/foo_tests.erl
Added an entry to .hgignore to avoid .swp files (created by VIM).
