JSCoverage
code coverage for JavaScript

News

December 11, 2008 - JSCoverage 0.4

JSCoverage 0.4 is available for download.

This release includes many new features:

The new jscoverage-server program is provided as an alternative to the jscoverage program. The jscoverage-server program is a simple HTTP server which instruments JavaScript code as it is served; this allows you to execute JavaScript and gather code coverage statistics without a preliminary step of creating instrumented code. The jscoverage-server program can either serve files directly from the filesystem or run as a proxy server (with the --proxy option), instrumenting JavaScript provided by another web server.
Using jscoverage-server, coverage reports can now be stored to the filesystem.
JSCoverage now recognizes special JavaScript comments which specify that certain lines of code should be ignored in coverage reports.
The new --encoding option provides better support for different character encodings.
The JSCoverage user interface is now faster and more responsive.
The new --no-highlight option can be used to disable syntax highlighting (giving better performance for large JavaScript files).
The build system has been modified so that make install only installs the jscoverage and jscoverage-server executables and their manual pages. (Previous versions installed SpiderMonkey library and executable files, which could conflict with other versions of SpiderMonkey installed on your system.)
JSCoverage now supports several features beyond those found in the ECMAScript Language Specification, including the following:
- getters and setters
- for each loops
- generators and iterators
- the let keyword
- destructuring assignment
- array comprehensions
- expression closures
- generator expressions
Use the new --js-version option to enable these features.

The GCC C++ compiler (g++) is now required to compile JSCoverage. (Previously, only the C compiler was needed.)

Please report any bugs you find using the new bug tracker.
