Fprime Unit Testing - Branch Coverage

[arturodrt]

Hello,

does anyone know how I can achieve a higher level of coverage for my unit test, since the gcov tool that checks for code coverage indicates that I am missing a branch in the following code statement? Right now it is not clear to me how to cover the second branch that the report indicates.

This is discussed over on gcovr's FAQ: https://gcovr.com/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-c-code-have-so-many-uncovered-branches. I haven't looked to deeply as we typically look at line coverage. However, it it good to understand the data. Thanks for noting this.

I should also note: when running coverage through fprime-util coverage you can supply flags to gcovr via the pass through flag.
Of the top of my head it is:

fprime-util coverage --pass-through --some-gcovr-flag

However, it may be worth looking at the --help flag to check I got that right.
