Cake: Support for dotCover configuration file

[matkoch]

As described in the help, dotCover can also be called with a configuration file:

dotCover cover <configuration file name> [parameters]

I guess this is especially interesting for specifying filters. Since they might be reused from within the IDE at some point.

@matkoch this sounds like a very useful addition. Are you interested in sending a PR to implement this?

[bjorkstromm]

Quickly checking, the settings param should be added to the abstract DotCoverSettings class and make it available to all DotCover aliases.

If @matkoch is not in a position to send a PR, I could send one when I have time (beginning of January)..

Did anyone do anything with this? I'm guessing not as I can't see it.

[gep13]

@B3nCr no, not that I am aware of. We would be happy to accept a PR if this is something you are interested in seeing getting added.

[AdaskoTheBeAsT]

I already added PR
@gep13 could you please review my changes?

[asci13]

This would be great to have, is there any news on merging the PR?

[devlead]

@asci13 Looks like issuer closed the PR #2108, and a new one hasn't been opened. Unsure if it's up for grabs or if @AdaskoTheBeAsT is planning to open a new PR.

[gep13]

@devlead the source branch is still there, I "think" it just needs another rebase. I was actually just away to look into it... Will report back on what I find.

[gep13]

Doh! Looks like @AdaskoTheBeAsT hasn't allowed pushing back to his repository. So even though I have rebased the changes onto the latest develop branch, I can't push them back to his repo. I could rebase/merge directly, but we would lose the CI checks prior to merging 😢

[devlead]

Permission disappeared when PR closed, unfortunately GitHub won't allow you to reopen a PR , you could push branch to your personal repo and open new PR, original issuer would still get attribution for the commit.

[gep13]

@devlead interesting idea. I will see what I can do over lunch time.

Hi, sorry i am away for 3 weeks vacation. Feel free to grab code.

Hi I found some time on vacation to properly rebase branch and squash - now in pull https://github.com/cake-build/cake/pull/2213
