Allows old code to use new standards
Coverage checker allows new standards to be implemented incrementally, by only enforcing them on new / edited code.
Tools like phpcs and phpmd are an all or nothing approach, coverage checker allows this to work with the diff i.e. enforce all of the pull request / change request.
This is sometimes called "Baselining"
Also working with PHPunit to allow, for example 90% of new/edited code to be covered. which will increase the overall coverage over time.
With composer simply
composer require --dev exussum12/coverage-checker
then call the script you need
Phar is a packaged format which should be a single download. The latest Phar can be found Here.
After downloading run chmod +x diffFilter.phar
and then call as ./diffFilter.phar
followed by the normal options
Clone this repository somewhere your your build plan can be accessed, composer install is preferred but there is a non composer class loader which will be used if composer is not installed. If composer is not used some PHP specific features will not work as expected. Then call the script you need
First of all a diff is needed
git diff origin/master... > diff.txt
See here for a more in depth examples of what diff you should generate
Then the output for the tool you wish to check (such as phpcs, PHPUnit, phpmd etc) for example
phpcs --standard=psr2 --report=json > phpcs.json || true
Here the || true
ensures that the whole build will not fail if phpcs fails.
Then call diffFilter
./vendor/bin/diffFilter --phpcs diff.txt phpcs.json 100
The last argument (100 in this case) is optional, the default is 100. This can be lowered to 90 for example to ensure that at least 90% of the changed code conforms to the standard.
diffFilter will exit with a 0
status if the changed code passes the minimum coverage. 2
otherwise
A more in depth guide can be found on the wiki also some tips for speeding up the build.
There are 2 examples hooks in the GitHooks directory, if you symlink to these diffFilter will run locally.
pre-commit is before the commit happens pre-receive will prevent you pushing
Below is a list of all tools and a brief description
--buddy Parses buddy (magic number detection) output
--checkstyle Parses a report in checkstyle format
--clover Parses text output in clover (xml) format
--codeclimate Parse codeclimate output
--humbug Parses the json report format of humbug (mutation testing)
--infecton Parses the infection text log format
--jacoco Parses xml coverage report produced by Jacoco
--phan Parse the default phan(static analysis) output
--phanJson Parses phan (static analysis) in json format
--phpcpd Parses the text output from phpcpd (Copy Paste Detect)
--phpcs Parses the json report format of phpcs, this mode only reports errors as violations
--phpcsStrict Parses the json report format of phpcs, this mode reports errors and warnings as violations
--phpmd Parses the xml report format of phpmd, this mode reports multi line violations once per diff, instead of on each line
the violation occurs
--phpmdStrict Parses the xml report format of phpmd, this mode reports multi line violations once per line they occur
--phpmnd Parses the text output of phpmnd (Magic Number Detection)
--phpstan Parses the text output of phpstan
--phpunit Parses text output in clover (xml) format generated with coverage-clover=file.xml
--pylint Parses PyLint output
--psalm Parses Psalm output
Simply pass the 3rd argument in as 0, this will give output showing failed lines but will not fail the build
Auto fixers do exist for some of these tools, but on larger code bases there are many instances where these can not be auto fixed. CoverageChecker allows to go to these new standards in the most used parts of the code by enforcing all changes to comply to the new standards
A diff filtered test is a test where the execution and diffence (diff) is used from a known point. This information can be used to only run the tests which have been changed. Saving in many cases minutes running tests.
A good workflow is to branch, run the tests with --coverage-php=php-coverage.php
and then when running your tests run git diff origin/master... > diff.txt && ./composer/bin/phpunit
This saves the coverage information in the first step which the diff then filters to runnable tests.
This one time effort saves running unnecessary tests on each run, tests for which the code has not changed.
