Better control of project root

[eivindjahren]

vim-test has some functionality that seemingly always sets up the correct project root:

https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test/blob/6517577d8b75c97ce0a916f44942877beb37d72a/plugin/test.vim#L60

It would be great if there was some variable that one could use to tweak the path where CoverageLoad expects to find the coverage_file.

How is this done now? The plugin can't find the lcov file in my javascript project. It is inside the root directory of the project in tests/coverage/lcov.info.

I tried the following:

lang = { javascript = {coverage_file = "tests/coverage/lcov.info"}} 

But still can't find it.

Found the solution. Had to use ./ as the path

Using nvim-coverage on a Python project, it only finds .coverage when the editor is invoked from the project root:

nvim tptools/util.py  # .coverage found
cd tptools && nvim util.py  # .coverage not found

The following config hack fixes this for me:

require("coverage").setup({
  --- …
  lang = {
        python = {
          coverage_file = function()
            local filename = ".coverage"
            return vim.fs.joinpath(vim.fs.root(0, filename) or ".", filename)
          end,
        },
      }
})
