HTML coverage reports with GoConvey

You asked for it and now you've got it.

For packages that pass all tests, coverage reports are generated and made available by clicking the package name, which in that case becomes a link (provided you've cleared your browser's cache!).

Click the package name

Right now the coverage command that is run is something like this:

$ go test -covermode=set -coverprofile=<package_name>.txt

That command generates a plain text profile used in the following command:

$ go tool cover -html=<package_name>.txt -o <packge_name>.html

...which plunks down an html file which we can link to from the UI.

As you can see above, we use the 'set' covermode as it is more suited for concurrent scenarios and is the cheapest report to generate (thanks to Rob Pike for the advice on that one). We might support other values there if it's wanted (a phrase which here means comment below if you have strong feelings).

Here's what a bit of the report looks like (gradient of grey through green means covered, red means not covered):

Thanks to the go team for the go cover tool!

The coverage profiles and html files are stored at:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/smartystreets/goconvey/web/client/reports

Out of the way but available to you if you have plans for them. There's lots you can do with coverage in GoLang. Happy testing!

PS - Brand new shiny UI coming soon to GoConvey... (as if it wasn't good enough already!)

Address component analysis: A smarter way to validate addresses
Arrow Icon
Most address validation tools give you a simple thumbs up or down on an address because it either matches or it doesn’t, right? But what if you need more than just “valid” or “invalid” as a response? What if you could know exactly what part of the address is off, like a misspelled street name or an unconfirmed vanity city (like Hollywood), and why it isn’t considered valid?What if part of an address needed to change in order to make it a mailable, valid address? We think you’d want to know that, too.
BREAKING: Rooftop geocodes walk off the job—chaos mounting by the hour
Arrow Icon
Dateline: Tuesday, 8:04 a. m. In what experts are calling “the biggest location intelligence crisis since the discovery of space,” rooftop-accurate geocodes have officially gone on strike. The high-precision coordinates—normally pinpointing locations down to the exact rooftop for deliveries, telecom installs, insurance claims, and analytics—appeared on Smarty TV and issued a short but cutting statement this morning:“We’re tired of being taken for granted. We’re tired of being treated like just another number.
