Erlang: configuring cover via rebar


My project is using a websocket server. Only for testing purposes, I also have an erlang websocket client implementation which resides in the test/ folder along with the tests.

Now, when I run the tests via rebar with {cover_enabled, true} in my rebar.config, I also get coverage reported for the modules of the websocket client. I don't want this in my reports.

Cover documentation says I should create a cover specification file containing {excl_mods, [websocket_client]}.

But how do I convince rebar to use this file?

Cover documentation:

rebar:


Solution

  • Ok, I asked rebar author @dizzyd.

    It turns out that this cover option is not supported by eunit, which I use to execute my tests.
