Flutter-intellij: How to use live coverage feature - undocumented?

Created on 10 Sep 2019 · 4Comments · Source: flutter/flutter-intellij

Related to #2091 .

It is exactly what I'd like to use, run tests, see coverage information, have my IDE update automagically. However, I have no idea how to get started with it. Any pointers? Maybe @devoncarew could shed some light on that?

@jacob314 thank you for adding it to the backlog. Until this or a similar feature lands, do you have any tips on how to display coverage info in editor?

Currently, I have to resort to 3rd party tools to convert lcov to human readable format genhtml.

That feature was experimental and added to try to make hot reload easier to understand. We have removed it from the Flutter IntelliJ plugin for now. Thanks for the feedback that you would find such a feature useful for tracking your coverage running tests.

Seems like this came up again. Do you think, @jacob314 or @grouma , we could see something out of this in the near future?

I don't anticipate working on this in the near future. Note that package:coverage supports viewing coverage results in a human readable format through the format_coverage command and -r flag.
