covr 3.6.5

CRAN release: 2025-11-09

New Features and improvements

  • Added support for klmr/box modules. This works best with file_coverage(). (@radbasa, #491)

  • Performance improvement for compiled code with a lot of compilation units (@krlmlr, #611)

  • Fix R CMD check NOTE for upcoming R 4.6: non-API calls to SET_BODY, SET_CLOENV, SET_FORMALS (@t-kalinowski, #587)

Fixes and minor improvements

  • Messages are now displayed using cli instead of crayon (@olivroy, #591).

  • covr now uses testthat::with_mocked_bindings() for its internal testing (@olivroy, #595).

  • Fix a bug preventing package_coverage() from running tests when install_path is set to a relative path (@gergness, #517, #548).

  • Fixed a performance regression and an error triggered by a change in R 4.4.0. (@kyleam, #588)

  • Fixed an issue where attempting to generate code coverage on an already-loaded package could fail on Windows. (@kevinushey, #574)

  • Prevent covr.record_tests option from logging duplicate tests when the same line of testing code is hit repeatedly, as in a loop. (@dgkf, #528)

  • Normalize install_path path before creating directory to prevent failures when running covr in a subprocess using a path with Windows \\ path separators. (@maksymiuks, #592)

covr 3.6.4

CRAN release: 2023-11-09

  • Fix for a failing test on CRAN

covr 3.6.3

CRAN release: 2023-10-10

covr 3.6.2

CRAN release: 2023-03-25

covr 3.6.1

CRAN release: 2022-08-26

  • to_cobertura() is now explicit about the doctype of the resulting XML. It also sets a source path if recorded. (@mmyrte, #524)

  • The internal generic merge_coverage() now correctly registers the S3 methods.

  • The internal test for recording large calls no longer assumes R is on the system PATH.

covr 3.6.0

CRAN release: 2022-08-24

  • Added covr.record_tests option. When TRUE, this enables the recording of the trace of the tests being executed and adds an itemization of which tests result in the execution of each trace. For more details see ?covr.record_tests (@dgkf, #463, #485, #503)

  • as.data.frame() now returns an 0 row data frame when there are no functions in a package (#427)

  • codecov() is now more robust when coverage is not the output from package_coverage() and token is not provided (#456)

  • package_coverage(code = ) now accepts character vectors of length greater than 1 (@bastistician, #481)

  • package_coverage() now handles packages with install or render time examples (#488)

  • package_coverage() now sets the environment variable R_TESTS to the tests-startup.R file like R CMD check does (#420)

  • report() now provides a more detailed error message if the DT and htmltools dependencies are not installed (#500).

  • Fix parse_gcov bug when package is stored in directory with regex special characters, see #459

  • Error/warning thrown for, respectively, missing gcov or empty parsed gcov output (@stephematician, #448)

  • Support Google Cloud Build uploading reports to Codecov.io (@MarkEdmondson1234 #469)

  • covr is now licensed as MIT (#454)

covr 3.5.1

CRAN release: 2020-09-16

covr 3.5.0

CRAN release: 2020-03-06

covr 3.4.0

CRAN release: 2019-11-26

covr 3.3.2

CRAN release: 2019-10-16

  • Fix test failures in the development version of R (4.0.0) (#400)

covr 3.3.1

CRAN release: 2019-08-23

  • Fix inadvertent regression in return visibility when functions are covered. covr versions prior to 3.3.0 surrounded each statement in { blocks. covr 3.3.0 switched to using ({, but this caused an inadvertent regression, as ( will make the result visible it is the last expression in a function. Using if (TRUE) { restores the previous behavior. (#391, #392)

covr 3.3.0

CRAN release: 2019-08-06

New Features

  • New azure() function added to make it easy to use covr on Azure Pipelines (#370)

  • Work around issues related to the new curly curly syntax in rlang (#379, #377, rlang#813)

  • Compiled code coverage has been improved, in particular C++ templates now contain the merged coverage of all template instances, even if the instances were defined in separate compilation units. (#390)
