Development

Compilation

Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 is required. If Visual Studio 2013 is not also installed, you must run VS2015-only.bat before loading the solution.

You should install the latest version of OpenCppCoverage:

• OpenCppCoverageSetup-x64-X.X.X.exe: into VSPackage\OpenCppCoverage-x64
• OpenCppCoverageSetup-x86-X.X.X.exe: into VSPackage\OpenCppCoverage-x86

You can also copy past the binaries from an existing installation into these folders. Binaries inside VSPackage\OpenCppCoverage-x86 can be the same as VSPackage\OpenCppCoverage-x64 (The opposite is not true).

You also need to compile SharpTreeView and copy ICSharpCode.TreeView.dll into OpenCppCoveragePlugin\packages folder.

Run the plugin

• Set VSPackage as StartUp Project.
• In VSPackage Properties, tab Debug:
  • Select Start external program and set value to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe (Update this path if you installed Visual Studio to another location).
  • Add /RootSuffix Exp as Command line arguments.

If you have an issue when running the plugin, you can try to reset Visual Studio Experimental instance:

"%VS140COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VSSDK\VisualStudioIntegration\Tools\Bin\CreateExpInstance" /Reset /VSInstance=14.0 /RootSuffix=Exp

Run unit tests

You can run the tests with Test Explorer window. To run VSPackage_IntegrationTests you need to expand Solution items in Solution Explorer and set Active Load and Web Test Settings for IntegrationTests.testsettings. If you have a COM error when running tests, you can select IntegrationTests.testsettings file from Visual Studio menu: Test/Test Settings/Select Test Settings File. For VSPackage_UnitTests you need to do the same but with UnitTests.testsettings.

If a test failed, you can try to run it again. You can also reset Visual Studio Experimental instance.
