coverlet VS ReportGenerator

Code coverage tools are a great way to improve the code quality, but there are a lot of tools that require a paid license to use it like dotCover, the Enterprise version of Visual Studio or Visual Studio extensions. After some research, I found out that two free tools combined can generate code coverage reports. The first tool is called Coverlet which generates the code coverage as I wanted and it's also working with .NET Framework. Essentially is creating an XML report file that covers the lines, branches, and methods. And the second tool is ReportGenerator which is used for parsing the generated XML and expose the data in a friendly format.

I am trying to install ReportGenerator through PowerShell. My understanding from installation page is that I will need NuGet in order to do this.

In order to view the results in a human-readable format, you will need to install the NuGet package Report Generator. Unfortunately, this isn't quite as easy as just installing the NuGet package.

If you still get issues with show code coverage, you can ask on https://github.com/danielpalme/ReportGenerator/issues for better help.

Utilize Coverletand Report Generator utilities – however, this is where its funny, because these are .NET CLI tools that need the .NET 6 SDK installed.

# https://github.com/danielpalme/ReportGenerator dotnet tool install -g dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" reportgenerator -reports:"\TestResults\**\coverage.cobertura.xml" -targetdir:"coveragereport" -reporttypes:Html

Have you generated a report?
