Getting started

Welcome! The goc is a coverage tool for Golang projects. The most interesting part of goc is that it can generate coverage report while the service is running! You can test the service manually or automatically, whatever, you don't have to stop the tested service to get the coverage report anymore.

This extension provides a frontend to show the covered lines in real time.

Basic requirements

Before you started, make sure that you have:

1. Go
2. goc
3. source code of the tested service

Set up your environment

Follow the goc example guide to build and start the tested service. After you finished this step, there should be a goc server running at default port 7777.

Use vscode to open the source code. Make sure the vscode's workspace is in the Golang project's root directory. If your project uses go module, just open vscode in the repo's directory. If your project uses GOPATH, you should setup right GOPATH before you open vscode.

Open any Go source files, you should see a Goc Coverage OFF button in the bottom status bar, click on the button to enable rendering covered lines in real time.

Configuration

goc server url

If you deploy the goc server on another host with a customized port, you can set:

"goc.serverUrl": "http://192.168.1.3:51234"
