🔧 New features

Auto-discover coverage paths

Coverage now automatically discovers which source files to track based on your test file names. No more manual --coverage-paths configuration needed in most cases.

Before

bashunit --coverage --coverage-paths src/ tests/unit/assert_test.sh

After

bashunit --coverage tests/unit/assert_test.sh
# Automatically tracks src/assert.sh

The convention maps tests/unit/foo_test.sh to src/foo.sh, making coverage setup effortless for standard project layouts.

Better HTML coverage reports

The HTML coverage report has been improved with better styling and now correctly handles namespaced functions with colons (e.g., bashunit::assert::equals).

Additionally, --coverage-report-html now defaults to coverage/html when no directory is specified:

Usage

bashunit --coverage-report-html tests/
# Output goes to coverage/html/

Refined hook output display

Hook output now displays with right-aligned timing and a bullet prefix for a cleaner, more consistent look:

Before

Running set_up_before_script... done (2.03s)

After

● set_up_before_script                                               2.03s

🐛 Bug fixes

• Coverage now excludes control flow keywords (then, else, fi, do, done, esac, ;;, case patterns) from line tracking
• Coverage HTML report correctly handles namespaced functions with colons
• Coverage data no longer lost when running coverage_test.sh alongside other tests
