What is the issue?
Methods in classes are displayed in code coverage as just the method's name.
Having ClassName.MethodName would make the code coverage report much easier to navigate.
I read the previous issues about classes and code coverage but didn't understand the problem.
Is there some technical reason why we throw away the name of the class?
For example, in cobertura, we have this XML, where the filename has replaced the class.
The ToString()
method is part of a Person
class, and also part of an Employee
class but this is information is lost.
...
<classes>
<class name="cc.psm1" filename="cc.psm1" line-rate="1" branch-rate="1">
<methods>
<method name="ToString" signature="()">
<lines>
<line number="3" hits="1" />
<line number="7" hits="1" />
</lines>
</method>
</methods>
<lines>
<line number="3" hits="1" />
<line number="7" hits="1" />
</lines>
</class>
</classes>
...
Expected Behavior
I would have expected to see Person.ToString()
as the method name instead of ToString()
That way, I can tell it apart from Employee.ToString()
later in the same file.
Steps To Reproduce
# cc.psm1
class Person {
[string] ToString() { return "A Person" }
}
class Employee {
[string] ToString() { return "An Employee" }
}
Describe cc {
import-module -Name $PSSCriptRoot\cc.psm1
Context mod {
InModuleScope cc {
It 'Should have a Person.ToString() method' {
[Person]::new().ToString() | Should -Be 'A Person'
}
It 'Should have an Employee.ToString() method' {
[Employee]::new().ToString() | Should -Be 'An Employee'
}
}
}
}
