nyc VS cosmopolitan

Native code coverage via v8 or istanbul.

Writing tests is essential, and knowing whether you test all the required cases for your logic is even more critical. The most common testing coverage tool is Istanbul, where you can see how well your tests exercise your code by lines, functions, and branches. Below is an example of how the test coverage report looks in your terminal:

Here is a quote from istanbul, one of the most used code coverage tool:

Unit testing framework was already implemented, using Vitest so I started hacking by setting up a coverage provider to explicitly identify the covered/uncovered lines and mentioned this to the maintainer in the comments. I used Istanbul 🇹🇷 for this purpose.

Your project probably has a coverage report. If you’re using Jest as your unit test runner, generating a coverage report is embedded in it. It is done with Istanbul under the hood, which generates a nice HTML page presenting the entire project unit test coverage.

> This is a rant written by someone with just enough understanding to be dangerous, but not quite enough wisdom to know why things are still the way they are. Most of the complaints raised are subtly inaccurate.

Author seems aware of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE: https://source.small-tech.org/site.js/app/-/issues/169 and https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc/issues/1281 – the "side effects" are NodeJS explicitly checking for it, so that's a NodeJS thing and not a Linux thing.

Yet curiously it's completely unmentioned in this article, in spite that this is probably what started the author's dislike of privileged ports. I guess it was inconvenient as it got in the way of angrily ranting.

This approach will create two json coverage files, which will be merged together by NYC. Therefore the results will be purely local. If You don't mind using online tools like Codecov or Coveralls for merging data from different tests, then go ahead and use them. They will probably also be more accurate. But if You still want to learn how to get coverage from E2E, then please read through

https://istanbul.js.org/ measures how much of your code is covered by tests

Jest uses a package called Istanbul to provide test coverage metrics such as statement, branch, function, and line coverage so that you can understand and enforce the quality of your test suite, providing more confidence in releases.

So let’s see if nyc (the code coverage generator) can help with that. Hmm… this documentation seems interesting! So basically what I understand from it is that I need to collect all the reports from the different packages and then run the nyc report over it. The flow should be like this:

The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]

As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].

Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

Some genius realized that you can actually embed valid win32 programs inside valid posix shell scripts, and found a way to make a C cross-platform solution out of it, meaning that you can write C programs that compile to a single executable that will run on (quoting the site) Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS

It all started from this post.

For this .args file, put one argument per line. This will run on start. You can use `/zip/mydepencency.anything` to read from files, but if you have an executable dependency you'll need to extract it first.

You can do this with any software you can compile with comsocc, by adding a call to LoadZipArgs[1] in the main function.

It'seasy to get started, your ideas will branch out as soon as you start playing with it.

FWIW there is ongoing work with good progress to add websocket support to redbean (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/pull/967)

Check out this comment by jart (cosmpolitan author) here: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/766#issuecomment...

it might help but not sure how comprehensive it is! would it be a bad idea for you to check out the source code of other popular emulators (maybe iTerm 2^0) ?

The binary was compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc [0], and therefore the binary will execute natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and bare metal (BIOS boot).

I would call that portable.

will go on my "to try" list where i already have cosmopolitan [2]. my last setup (windows) was shiv + wine + nsis (used that as pyinstaller had some issues)[2]
