Request: alternative, subtler display style. about coveragepy.vim HOT 14 CLOSED

I think an option to only highlight uncovered (or covered) lines makes sense.
If you work on a project with high coverage, it is better on the eyes (and the sign column) to only highlight/mark parts where there is no coverage.

from coveragepy.vim.

@merwok when you say 'the gutter' you mean the sign column or the gitgutter plugin (or both?)

I can try and make it somewhat configurable, will have an update soon

from coveragepy.vim.

I am not sure I understand fully. For covered lines a green block is used, for uncovered it is red. You would only want to change uncovered lines with the characters "TT" ? what do you mean by "warning-level"? a color?

I could allow some configuration probably but that could be tricky. Here is the part where the code highlights certain sections:

hi SignColumn guifg=#004400 guibg=green ctermfg=40 ctermbg=40
hi uncovered guifg=#ff2222 guibg=red ctermfg=1 ctermbg=1
hi covered guifg=#004400 guibg=green ctermfg=40 ctermbg=40
hi branchuncovered guifg=#ffff00 guibg=yellow ctermfg=yellow ctermbg=yellow
sign define uncovered text=XX texthl=uncovered
sign define covered text=XX texthl=covered
sign define branchuncovered text=XX texthl=branchuncovered

from coveragepy.vim.

I agree with this request! I’m only using a few vim plugins at the moment, and I like for example how the gitgutter plugin shows green + and red - for added/removed lines in a way that’s helpful and discreet. Two-column wide solide bars of flashy green and red is a bit in your face :)

from coveragepy.vim.

This is git-gutter:

At the moment, coveragepy overwrites the gutter with the big flashy bar. It would be great if we could easily control how coveragepy shows lines missing (no need to annotate lines covered in my opinion).

Another plugin uses highlight groups and leaves the gutter alone: https://github.com/mgedmin/coverage-highlight.vim#coverage-highlightvim

from coveragepy.vim.

@alfredodeza
Just for information: there is also https://github.com/google/vim-coverage, which tries to be a provider for different coverage sources, and it had some activity lately.
I still have some local changes for it, and it might make sense to join forces over there.
They have a provider for coveragepy by now.

I meant the sign column. After installing git-gutter I thought that «gutter» was a general term for this column :)

from coveragepy.vim.

FWIW I tried to use five different coverage plugins yesterday, including google’s which seems the heaviest to install and at runtime, and none of them was working in a satisfying way. The two closest are this plugin and mgedmin/coverage-highlight.vim, each with only one or two small issues.

from coveragepy.vim.

@merwok
I feel your pain, went through it myself a while ago.
But that's why I think joining forces makes sense, and Google's is meant to be a generic framework.
For google/coverage-vim I've fixed for example that only its own signs get cleared, which is an issue with all of the plugins I've tried.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention this.

from coveragepy.vim.

@blueyed that issue is fixed with e479a93

from coveragepy.vim.

Potential fix/improvement for this issue is at 3187805

There is also support for custom sign char (shown here with defaults):

let g:coveragepy_uncovered_sign = '^'

Can you guys please try this out and see if it helps out or not? Thanks

from coveragepy.vim.

Not really: e479a93#commitcomment-25516917

from coveragepy.vim.

Fixed in master, there is a 'subtler display' now, with no green/red bars.

from coveragepy.vim.

Thanks!
