[dependabot]

Bumps altcover from 8.2.820 to 8.6.40.

Release notes

Sourced from altcover's releases.

Habu series release 20

8.6.40 (Habu series release 20)

• [BUGFIX] Issue #178 - possible NRE when instrumenting woven code e.g. using Fody
• [AvaloniaVisualizer] Now requires net5.0 or later
• Supports Fake 6.0.0. This is probably the last release that will support earlier versions, as 5.23.1 is almost 6 months old.
• Supports net8.0 previews 1,2 (so far, no nasty surprises like with the 7.0.100 release)

Habu series release 19

8.6.14

• [GTKVisualizer] Fix an off-by-one crash for coverlet generated files
• [AvaloniaVisualizer] Fix possible crash launching the About dialog
• [Visualizer] Display coverage percentages against nodes of the tree (known issue that the synthetic F# module nodes are not thus decorated)
• [Visualizer] Improve handling of larger coverage files by deferring more processing until the tree model is actually expanded.
• [API] Types Options.CLI, Options.Logging, Options.Prepare and Options.Collect in namespace AltCover; concrete implementations of the ICLIOptions, ILoggingOptions and IPrepareOptions and ICollectOptions respectively, with getter and setter for each property. Default values for the latter two are as per the corresponding Primitive record types.
• [API] Also on the AltCover.Fake package in the AltCoverFake.DotNet.Testing namespace (except Options.Logging which is not useful in that context)

Habu series release 18

8.5.842

• [VISUALIZER] As the relevant Avalonia issue is long resolved, move to having separate dialog boxes for the Avalonia Visualizer's "About" and message box, as in the GTK# version.
• ref struct types have an autogenerated [Obsolete] attribute with a standard comment - detect and ignore such attributes. See https://turnerj.com/blog/ref-structs-are-technically-obsolete for details.

Habu series release 17

8.5.841

• To support Cake 3.0, move the Cake API assembly from AltCover.Api to a new package AltCover.Cake; this contains libraries built against Cake 2.0.0 at netcoreapp3.1 as well as the old ones built against Cake 1.0.0 at netstandard2.0 (present but in practice obsolete).
• Following Fake.build's policy of deprecating releases older then 6 months, drop support for versions before 5.23
• [BREAKING] Rename AltCover.Cake.DotNet.DotNetCoreTest to AltCover.Cake.DotNet.DotNetTest (even in the obsolete 1.0.0 build) to match the changes in the Cake APIs (and consequent chage to the test setting type in the argument list). Similarly, in the version >= 2.0.0 build, the type AltCover.Cake.DotNet is now a [CakeAliasCategory("DotNet")] rather than [CakeAliasCategory("DotNetCore")]
• [API] New DotNet APIs for Fake support - ToTestPropertiesList method to emit a list of (name,value) pairs to allow customised property passing to dotnet test in the wake of the v7.0.100 regression.
• [API] Additionally ImportModuleProperties and GetVersionProperties values that are additonal lists of (name,value) pairs to append as needed.

Habu series release 16

8.4.840

• New option --trivia to omit coverage of sequence points containing no logic (no-op, return or unconditional branches only)
• Added context for exceptions thrown during instrumentation. This is aimed at tracing what was being inspected when exceptions arise from Mono.Cecil being presented with a new corner case.

Habu series release 15

8.3.839

• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #161: Add retry logic to ContingentCopy task
• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #165: Work around Cecil issue #873 by omitting debug information for constants that cause that issue. N.B. will not catch cases in methods that are not instrumented.

Habu series release 14

8.3.838

• [GTK-VISUALIZER] Fix off-by-one error in markup for the very last line of the file
• [BUGFIX] -- Out-of-process APIs generating dotnet test: fix to allow activating ZipFile, MethodPoint, SingleVisit and SourceLink
• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #156: Out-of-process APIs generating dotnet test: fix /p:AltCoverDependencyList to work around the behaviour of dotnet test with an argument ending .dll or .exe. Users rolling their own command lines, note that the assembly list is separated and terminated with '|' characters. The --dependency command line argument for the tool is not affected.
• [BUGFIX] -- Issue #156: Make explicit dependencies through --dependency have priority over other assembly resolution lookup. This works around a Mono.Cecil misfeature (Mono.Cecil issue #863) where the netstandard2.0 Cecil binaries do not consider the GAC for Framework system assemblies, but instead will find stubs in dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App for e.g. .net Framework WPF related assemblies
• [BUGFIX] -- Improve selection of non-embedded symbol files (between location in assembly debug header, the same directory as the assembly and any --symbolDirectory values) to avoid symbol mismatch when there are multiple possible files on offer
• Add a --verboseoption for AltCover, the converse of -q. Away from the command line, adds meaning to the Verbosity option value System.Diagnostics.TraceLevel.Verbose. Currently Verbose output shows more of the selection of files for instrumentation, noting when files are excluded from the process, symbol file selection etc.
• Add a matching field, ILoggingOptions.Verbose, to the API as a sink to capture verbose output.
• Other minor build process adjustments for SDK 6.0.300/F# 6.0.4, 6.0.5

8.2.837 (Habu series release 13)

• [VISUALIZER] Critical bug fixes for GTK and Avalonia : mismatched new icon names causing crashes
• [VISUALIZER] Use new coverage data icon for the coverage report file, not a generic report icon

8.2.836 (Habu series release 12)

• [BUGFIX] Fix project file path handling in Cake support
• [BUGFIX] Improve heuristic to recognise (and ignore) state-machine injected branches in async methods; this may cause subtle changes, up or down, in branch detection for other generated code ("hidden" sequence points) contexts with branches
• Use VS2022 icons in the Visualizer

8.2.835 (Habu series release 11)

• [BUGFIX] Fix tracked methods in the Merge-OpenCover cmdlet
• [BUGFIX] Fix blocking issue in Cake support; and add operational test
• Move Fake.Build support to 5.21 as minimum; updating other supporting libraries

8.2.833 (Habu series release 10)

• [BUGFIX] Work-round more (problems with ill-formed debug data)[https://redirect.github.com/System.IndexOutOfRangeException resolving local scopes in Cecil 0.11.4 jbevain/cecil#816] (issue #135)
• [BUGFIX] An infinite loop while instrumenting when faced with an inner function that is also a closure (also issue #135)
• [BUGFIX] Address issue #71 by pre-allocating storage for each instrumented assembly; rather than allocating on demand, with any timing related issues not adequately dealt with subject to catch-and-ignore
• For instrumented assemblies, write embedded debug symbols, independent of the input choice.
• Improved release note formatting
• Some overhaul and updating of neglected parts of the build and test script
• Reduce to a minimum the differences in the source between the net20 and net46-for-async versions of the recorder; then just rewrite the net20 version with the delta on demand.
• Some minor improvements to the data collector for dotnet test use, with example of how to employ explicitly in AltCover "classic" mode in the "UnitTestWithAltCoverCore" fake build target

8.2.831 (Habu series release 9)

• [BUGFIX] Make the static-linked parts of the recorder assembly internal, so only the AltCover instrumentation API is exposed -- removes type duplications from the environment that may confuse run-time assembly creation e.g. by Marten (issue #133)
• For CallContext, add async-aware tracking for all methods returning Task or Task<T> not just ones with the C# async shape. This includes functions returning the new F#6 task{} computation expression.
  • Note there is a support gap : running this under .net Framework less than v4.6 (i.e. a test machine with a pre-2015-JUL-20 environment) will not work, even though Task is a .net 4.0 feature, as the tracking support relies on .net 4.6 async features.
• Emit (a warning)[https://stevegilham.github.io/altcover/AltCover.Engine/AltCover/AltCover.LoggingOptions/Warn-apidoc] if any of the files input to the instrumentations have previously been instrumented, leaving those files untouched (apart from any Recorder assembly, which will still be overwritten). For dotnet test this is an MSBuild warning, for powershell, it is delivered via Cmdlet.WriteWarning.
  • This behaviour is subject to change in future releases
