[dependabot]

Bumps altcover from 8.0.815 to 8.4.840.

Release notes

Sourced from altcover's releases.

Habu series release 16

8.4.840

• New option --trivia to omit coverage of sequence points containing no logic (no-op, return or unconditional branches only)
• Added context for exceptions thrown during instrumentation. This is aimed at tracing what was being inspected when exceptions arise from Mono.Cecil being presented with a new corner case.

Habu series release 15

8.3.839

• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #161: Add retry logic to ContingentCopy task
• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #165: Work around Cecil issue #873 by omitting debug information for constants that cause that issue. N.B. will not catch cases in methods that are not instrumented.

Habu series release 14

8.3.838

• [GTK-VISUALIZER] Fix off-by-one error in markup for the very last line of the file
• [BUGFIX] -- Out-of-process APIs generating dotnet test: fix to allow activating ZipFile, MethodPoint, SingleVisit and SourceLink
• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #156: Out-of-process APIs generating dotnet test: fix /p:AltCoverDependencyList to work around the behaviour of dotnet test with an argument ending .dll or .exe. Users rolling their own command lines, note that the assembly list is separated and terminated with '|' characters. The --dependency command line argument for the tool is not affected.
• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #156: Make explicit dependencies through --dependency have priority over other assembly resolution lookup. This works around a Mono.Cecil misfeature (Mono.Cecil issue #863) where the netstandard2.0 Cecil binaries do not consider the GAC for Framework system assemblies, but instead will find stubs in dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App for e.g. .net Framework WPF related assemblies
• [BUGFIX] -- Improve selection of non-embedded symbol files (between location in assembly debug header, the same directory as the assembly and any --symbolDirectory values) to avoid symbol mismatch when there are multiple possible files on offer
• Add a --verboseoption for AltCover, the converse of -q. Away from the command line, adds meaning to the Verbosity option value System.Diagnostics.TraceLevel.Verbose. Currently Verbose output shows more of the selection of files for instrumentation, noting when files are excluded from the process, symbol file selection etc.
• Add a matching field, ILoggingOptions.Verbose, to the API as a sink to capture verbose output.
• Other minor build process adjustments for SDK 6.0.300/F# 6.0.4, 6.0.5

Habu series release 13

8.2.837

• [VISUALIZER] Critical bug fixes for GTK and Avalonia : mismatched new icon names causing crashes
• [VISUALIZER] Use new coverage data icon for the coverage report file, not a generic report icon

Habu series release 12

8.2.836

• [BUGFIX] Fix project file path handling in Cake support
• [BUGFIX] Improve heuristic to recognise (and ignore) state-machine injected branches in async methods; this may cause subtle changes, up or down, in branch detection for other generated code ("hidden" sequence points) contexts with branches
• Use VS2022 icons in the Visualizer

Habu series release 11

• [BUGFIX] Fix tracked methods in the Merge-OpenCover cmdlet
• [BUGFIX] Fix blocking issue in Cake support; and add operational test
• Move Fake.Build support to 5.21 as minimum; updating other supporting libraries

Habu series release 10

8.2.833

• [BUGFIX] Work-round more (problems with ill-formed debug data)[https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/System.IndexOutOfRangeException resolving local scopes in Cecil 0.11.4 jbevain/cecil#816] (issue #135)
• [BUGFIX] An infinite loop while instrumenting when faced with an inner function that is also a closure (also issue #135)
• [BUGFIX] Address issue #71 by pre-allocating storage for each instrumented assembly; rather than allocating on demand, with any timing related issues not adequately dealt with subject to catch-and-ignore
• For instrumented assemblies, write embedded debug symbols, independent of the input choice.
• Improved release note formatting
• Some overhaul and updating of neglected parts of the build and test script
• Reduce to a minimum the differences in the source between the net20 and net46-for-async versions of the recorder; then just rewrite the net20 version with the delta on demand.
• Some minor improvements to the data collector for dotnet test use, with example of how to employ explicitly in AltCover "classic" mode in the "UnitTestWithAltCoverCore" fake build target

Habu series release 9

8.2.831

Changelog

Sourced from altcover's changelog.

Previously

8.1.819 (Habu series release 4)

• Adapt to recent F# compiler optimizations that make function objects static if they don't close over their environment -- properly detect their owner functions for exclusion and for JSON format output
• If the report format is JSON, ensure that the coverage file doesn't end .xml, and if not JSON, that it doesn't end .json (case-blind comparison)

8.1.817 (Habu series release 3)

• Merge-OpenCover cmdlet and OpenCover.Merge API. It should handle both strict (OpenCover, AltCover --reportFormat=OpenCover) and more relaxed (coverlet, ConvertFrom-CoverageJson, Write-OpenCoverDerivedState -Coverlet) interpretations
• When --callContext indicates a method returning an F# async computation, then track all calls within the same async flow, just as with C# async methods from v7.2.800

8.0.816 (Habu series release 2)

• Move to Cake 1.0 as baseline for Cake support
• [VISUALIZER] Support for LCov and Cobertura format reports
• [VISUALIZER] For formats with only line-level information (e.g. LCov, Covertura or from coverlet), colour the whole line, and not just the line number gutter
