Using code:set_path/1 with very large paths is very slow on larger
projects. On my mid-sized project, it seems to take around .4s per
call. Emulating the call with direct path removal (using
code:del_path/1) seems to be quite a lot faster.
Partially revert naming changes introduced in 93689703c1:
CoverageModules -> FilteredModules
get_coverage_modules -> get_matching_modules
Having the name "coverage" meaning "filtered/selected modules" can be
confused with code coverage.
- Use `cover' with QuickCheck testing
- Reuse the `cover_*' rebar.config options
- Refactor cover-related code to separate module (`qc_cover_utils')
for use with both `eunit' and `qc'
Augment 'tests' option of 'rebar eunit' command with ability to specify
tests to run using module-qualified names. This change also forced me
to change the way modules for coverage and for testing itself are
selected - module-qualified tests specifications are now taken into
consideration. Extend tests to cover new functionality. Update
dialyzer_reference accordingly.
Option takes either 'true' or a numeric seed value. If true is passed, a
random seed is generated and used. The numeric seed value is for
repeatability.
The idea here is to root out test suites that are order dependant, or
that fail in the presence of certain orderings.
One could argue that rebar_eunit does some pretty dangerous stuff when
trying to clean up after a test run, but specifically, it tells the
Application Controller to delete everything returned by
application:get_all_env(App). Unfortunately, included_applications
also goes, which can lead to a crash in application_controller, if
the application is subsequently unloaded.
This patch attempts the smallest possible fix: remove all env
variables except included_applications.
Normally, Rebar runs eunit tests in the order the beam files are
stored in the file system (see rebar_utils:beams). However, sometimes
it is desirable to run the tests in a different order (e.g. to
reproduce an error found on a build server). For that case, it would
make sense to use the 'suites' parameter not just for selecting which
modules to consider, but also for choosing the order.
Cover gets slower and slower for each application. This is due to the
cover_server internal state. Stopping the cover server between
eunit+cover runs, emptying the cover_server state, gives a ~5-6x speed
improvement when analyzing many Erlang modules. Stopping the cover
server replaces the earlier practice of doing a cover:reset before each
run. On a project consisting of 62 dependencies with a total of 1866
Erlang modules the running time of rebar eunit decreased from ~20
minutes to ~3 minutes.
