The coverage doesn't work stand alone

[shingara]

If we want the coverage we need start simplecov in our spec_helper like doing by example in dm-mapper ( https://github.com/datamapper/dm-mapper/blob/master/spec/spec_helper.rb#L6 )

It can be really great to put this information in devtools and insert it on spec_helper.rb by example.

@shingara 👍

I actually wanted to do that but didn't find time 😄

[shingara]

I try implement it. but I don't find a good way to do instead of adding a require needed in the spec_helper.rb.

Have you some idea how I can do to help ?

IMHO we need to ship a default spec helper, like the Rakefile. Could look like this.

require 'devtools'
Devtools.spec_helper

# our project specific customizations here

We could ship the shared stuff from spec/support also in devtools.

@shingara We now have the default spec helper in place. Do you want to give a try at generalizing this again?

I would think you could mostly use the same config we use in most DM2 related gems: https://github.com/dkubb/axiom/blob/master/spec/spec_helper.rb#L8-L23

The only thing is you'd probably want to read a config file so people can configure the filters and minimum coverage threshold.

@shingara you may want to also check out #3 where there is some discussion on what a spec config file would look like. For the most part I wouldn't expect you to implement configurable unit/integration directories, we can add that later as a separate PR, but it's good for you to be aware of this if you decide to take it on.

I'm gonna add setting up SimpleCov. We already have devtools/spec_helper so it's gonna be easy.

I'm closing this issue as its really old and the scope of this tool changed meanwhile.
