Flexcover upgrade for Flex 3.2.0 SDK is looking good
November 11, 2008 on 2:29 am | In Flex, Programming | 3 CommentsAlex and I — lately, to be honest, it’s mostly Alex — have been working on the forthcoming upgrade release of Flexcover, the code coverage instrumentation tool for Flex/AS3. I’m feeling pleased because I finally merged up the modifications to the Flex SDK compiler to the 3.2.0 branch, in preparation for an expected release of a new Flex Builder in the MAX timeframe.
The merge went smoothly and the 3.2.0 compiler seems to work like a champ — well, at least, it does everything that the 3.0.x version did. What’s more, a sneak peek at Flex Builder 3.2 revealed that they’ve fixed an irksome bug in the Flex Compiler project options dialog, and it’s now possible to enable and disable coverage instrumentation using the compiler options field.
That’s just the part I did. Alex has been busy working on some very nice changes to the CoverageViewer, which should greatly reduce the performance problems people were seeing during data collection before. We’ve also made it much easier to merge reports from multiple test runs. A few more fixes are needed but things are looking up…

This sounds great, we are using Flexcover currently. Have you noticed any weirdness when running with CruiseControl?

Not especially — but then, I don’t run Cruise Control. What I mean is, I haven’t heard about anything specifically.

As you’re developing it would be nice to have the ability to merge multiple cvr files.
