Code coverage data is now exclusively in Searchfox

[Marco Castelluccio]

Hello,
The https://coverage.moz.tools/ service has been retired and will
disappear shortly.

Coverage data is now only available in Searchfox, both at the directory
level (example
https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/rev/0fce12de99c5e7d74536d8f93cf9778ce6199a1f/,
coverage percentages in the "Coverage" column) and at the file level
(example
https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/rev/0fce12de99c5e7d74536d8f93cf9778ce6199a1f/browser/base/content/browser.js,
coverage data in the coverage strip on the left).

If you are browsing a file on Searchfox and coverage data is not
available, when you hover the coverage strip there is a link "Show
previous file revision with coverage".

Thanks!
- Marco.

Thank you for the steady improvement in our tooling.  Can I ask - what does  "There was coverage data for this file but not for this line." mean?  

Example: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/rev/0fce12de99c5e7d74536d8f93cf9778ce6199a1f/ipc/mscom/AgileReference.cpp

The last few lines of every files display that because instead of outputing -1
for “not instrumented”, grcov stops at the last instrumented line.

In your case though, you're also missing coverage data because of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2002904 which is being
fixed (not really related to Searchfox, this also bit coverage.moz.tools).

Cheers,

Hi!

This is very exciting. Thank you and Nicolas for working on this. When can we expect the data on searchfox to become available? I can't find "Show
previous file revision with coverage" in the UI. Is there an API for getting the coverage data?

Thanks

Tom

You've hit https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021300 which
temporarily prevented Searchfox from displaying coverage.

The data is back, with a week worth of coverage history now. You can navigate
between revisions using the links in the coverage popup while I'm working on
importing more history and bringing back the timeline we had above the folder
view on coverage.moz.tools.

> Is there an API for getting the coverage data?

There's no Searchfox API for that (yet), but you can get the raw coverage data
from the Google Cloud bucket gs://relman-code-coverage-prod/mozilla-central.

Hi all,

It's great to see progress on code coverage, as it is instrumental ground truth data to our analysis efforts.

It seems to me that the last commit on main is almost all of the time "no coverage data yet" - are there timing issue?

Also, looking at previous commits that have coverage info, I prefer percentages over absolute values.

The text description reads: "This line was hit 18 times per coverage instrumentation." - that seems much harder to evaluate than a percentage, no?

Does that match discussions and use cases other teams have?

Would you rather we file a bug instead of continuing the discussion here?

Thanks!

Freddy
