altcover

Both the .net framework/mono and .net core releases publish MSBuild tasks from the engine assembly (AltCover.Engine.dll) that wrap the command-line functionality (as documented here under Usage).

namespace AltCover

For the C# programmer, attributes have the extra angle-brackets, while member [Name] : [type] with get, set is a [type] valued property called [Name]; and string array is just string[] spelled out longhand.

For AltCover.Prepare and AltCover.Collect, the task parameters match the command line arguments in name and function, except that SymbolDirectories is pluralised, ExposeReturnCode is the converse of the command line option dropReturnCode, and CommandLine is everything after a -- . If AltCover.Collect’s Executable parameter is set, that switches the virtual --collect flag off.

namespace AltCover

Task AltCover.Prepare

This is the instrumentation mode with --save --inplace as default. Associated parameters are

type Prepare =

    member OutputDirectories : string array with get, set

    member SourceLink : bool with get, set
    member Eager : bool with get, set
    member LocalSource : bool with get, set
    member VisibleBranches : bool with get, set
    member ShowStatic : string with get, set
    member ShowGenerated : bool with get, set
    member Verbosity : string with get, set
    member Trivia: bool with get, set
    member Portable: bool with get, set
  end

Task AltCover.Collect

This is runner mode with --collect as default. Associated parameters are

type Collect =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> Collect
    override Execute : unit -> bool
    [<Output>]
    member Summary : string
    [<Required>]
    member RecorderDirectory : string with get, set
    member WorkingDirectory : string with get, set
    member Executable : string with get, set
    member LcovReport : string with get, set
    member Threshold : string with get, set
    member Cobertura : string with get, set
    member Packages : string array with get, set
    member OutputFile : string with get, set
    member CommandLine : string array with get, set
    member ExposeReturnCode : bool with get, set
    member SummaryFormat : string with get, set
    member Verbosity : string with get, set
  end

Task AltCover.PowerShell

This is the ImportModule option; it takes no parameters.

type PowerShell =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> PowerShell
    override Execute : unit -> bool
  end

Task AltCover.GetVersion

This is the Version option; it takes no parameters.

type GetVersion =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> GetVersion
    override Execute : unit -> bool
  end

Task AltCover.Echo

Outputs a possibly coloured string of text to stdout.

type Echo =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> Echo
    override Execute : unit -> bool
    member Colour : string with get, set
    [<Required>]
    member Text : string with get, set
    member Verbosity : string with get, set
  end

Task AltCover.RunSettings

Used by the .net core implementation to inject an AltCover data collector, by creating a temporary run-settings file that includes AltCover as well as any user-defined settings.

Not intended for general use, but see the AltCover.targets file for how it is used around the test stage.

type RunSettings =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> RunSettings
    override Execute : unit -> bool
    [<Output>]
    member Extended : string with get, set
    member TestSetting : string with get, set
    member Verbosity : string with get, set
  end

Task AltCover.ContingentCopy

Used by the .net core implementation to copy files copied relative to the output directory to the same locations relative to the instrumented files folder

Not intended for general use, but see the AltCover.targets file for how it is used around the test stage.

type ContingentCopy =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> ContingentCopy
    override Execute : unit -> bool
    member RelativeDir : string with get, set
    member ProjectDir : string with get, set
    member CopyToOutputDirectory : string with get, set
    member FileName : string with get, set
    [<Required>]
    member BuildOutputDirectory : string with get, set
    [<Required>]
    member InstrumentDirectory : string with get, set
  end

Task AltCover.RetryDelete

Used by the .net core implementation to safely delete files

Not intended for general use, but see the AltCover.targets file for how it is used around the test stage.

type RetryDelete =
  class
    inherit Task
    new : unit -> RetryDelete
    override Execute : unit -> bool
    member Files : string array with get, set
  end
