0% coverage reported

[Remi-Gau]

Raising an issue here after discussing it in the moxunit github action repo: joergbrech/moxunit-action#13

In brief:

I am running my test with moxunit and even when they pass I get 0% coverage (bids-standard/bids-matlab#124 (comment)).

The issue seems to be related to the fact that the code hose coverage is to be estimated in a "package" folder (folder starts with a "+").

@joergbrech checked an simply remove the + seemed to do the trick: joergbrech/moxunit-action#13 (comment)

Tempted to give a go at enhancing Mocov to allow coverage of package folders.

Before I go in a deep dive by myself, I would not mind any pointers as to where I should focus my attention in the code base to get started on this.

Greetings, thanks for considering to see if you can allow coverage of package folders. A PR would definitely be appreciated.

The approach taken by MOcov is to rewrite each .m file and store the changed version in a temporary directory, adding an extra statement to each extra executable line marking it as executed.
Probably a good start is here: https://github.com/MOcov/MOcov/blob/master/MOcov/%40MOcovMFileCollection/rewrite_mfiles.m. This function sets the name of the temporary files. If you have more questions please let me know.

Awesome I will start looking into it. I am juggling with a million things so don't expect fast progress on this, but as I also need this to get accurate coverage one of my main project it could also move pretty fast.
