  15. <h3>Can I use JSCoverage to measure code coverage for a page on <code>http://example.com/</code>?</h3>
  16. <p>
  17. In order to measure the code coverage of a page on <code>http://example.com/</code>,
  18. you must run <code>jscoverage</code> to create a <code>jscoverage.html</code> file on the
  19. <code>example.com</code> server. You cannot use <code>http://example.org/jscoverage.html</code>
  20. to measure the code coverage of a page located on <code>http://example.com/</code>.
  21. </p>
  22. <p>
  23. The fundamental reason for this limitation is the
  24. <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/same-origin.html">Same Origin Policy</a>
  25. for untrusted JavaScript.
  26. </p>
  27. <p>
  28. (In fact, the current version of JSCoverage is slightly more restrictive
  29. than this: it requires that the JavaScript being measured reside under the
  30. same <strong>directory</strong> as the <code>jscoverage.html</code> file.)
  31. </p>
  32. <h3>Why doesn't my test suite run under JSCoverage in Firefox 3?</h3>
  33. <p>
  34. Firefox 3 introduces <a
  35. href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/jsunit/message/1075">new
  36. security restrictions</a> on local files. Depending on the way your
  37. test suite is organized, this may cause problems for JSCoverage.
  38. (You may get the error "uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window._$jscoverage".)
  39. There are several workarounds:
  40. </p>
  41. <ul class="list">
  42. <li><p>Place your files on a web server instead of loading them from the file system.
  43. This is usually the simplest solution.</p>
  44. <li><p>Organize your HTML files in your test suite in a flat directory structure. For example, suppose that
  45. you instrument your test suite with this command:</p>
  46. <pre>
  47. jscoverage src instrumented
  48. </pre>
  49. <p>If all your HTML files are located directly under the <code>src/</code> directory (i.e., not in a
  50. subdirectory of <code>src/</code>), then you should not have any problems using Firefox 3.</p>
  51. <li><p>Set the <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration">Firefox preference</a> named
  52. <code><a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.origin_policy">security.fileuri.origin_policy</a></code>
  53. to 3.</p>
  54. </ul>
  55. <h3>I'm trying to load my code with the URL
  56. <code>file:///C:/foo/bar/jscoverage.html?foo/bar.html</code>
  57. and I'm getting all kinds of JavaScript errors.</h3>
  58. <p>
  59. Internet Explorer 6 seems to have problems with a <code>file:</code> URL
  60. that has a query string with a slash in it.
  61. </p>
  62. <p>
  63. As a workaround:
  64. </p>
  65. <ul class="list">
  66. <li><p>Place your files on a web server instead of loading them from the file system.
  67. (<code>http:</code> URLs work fine.)</p>
  68. <li><p>Do not use a query string; enter your URL in the "URL" field in the "Browser" tab.</p>
  69. <li><p>Rearrange your directory structure so that <code>bar.html</code>
  70. ends up in the same directory as <code>jscoverage.html</code>; then
  71. you can use the URL
  72. <code>file:///C:/foo/bar/jscoverage.html?bar.html</code>
  73. with no slash in the query string.</p>
  74. <li><p>Use a different browser. (IE 7 seems to work.)</p>
  75. </ul>
  76. <h3>JSCoverage changes my cursor to a busy cursor, and it never changes back!</h3>
  77. <p>
  78. Certain browsers (<i>e. g</i>., Internet Explorer 6, Opera, Safari) have trouble changing
  79. the cursor. Try moving the mouse and your cursor should change back to normal.
  80. </p>
  81. <p>
  82. See <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/631908bd63241136/783c307480f95d8c">this discussion</a> for more information.
  83. </p>
  84. <h3>JSCoverage hangs sometimes when rendering the coverage report.</h3>
  85. <p>
  86. With Internet Explorer 6 (I think I see a pattern here), garbage collection can cause performance problems.
  87. (More information <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/garbage-collection-in-ie6">here</a>.)
  88. </p>
  89. <h3 id="jsunit">Can JSCoverage be used with <a href="http://www.jsunit.net/">JsUnit</a>?</h3>
  90. <p>
  91. It is necessary to run JSCoverage in <dfn>inverted mode</dfn>. You will have to
  92. modify JsUnit to launch JSCoverage.
  93. </p>
  94. <p>
  95. See the directory <code>doc/example-jsunit</code> for an example. It
  96. contains a copy of JsUnit version 2.2alpha11, with the file
  97. <code>jsunit/app/main-data.html</code> slightly modified to add a button
  98. which launches JSCoverage. It also contains a simple unit test file <code>test.html</code>. You
  99. can instrument this example as follows:
  100. </p>
  101. <pre>
  102. jscoverage --no-instrument=jsunit doc/example-jsunit doc/instrumented-jsunit
  103. </pre>
  104. <p>
  105. You can then run the <code>test.html</code> file in JsUnit's <code>jsunit/testRunner.html</code>.
  106. The simplest way to do this is probably to copy the contents of <code>doc/instrumented-jsunit</code>
  107. to the root of a web server and then access the URL
  108. </p>
  109. <pre>
  110. http://127.0.0.1/jsunit/testRunner.html?testPage=http://127.0.0.1/test.html&amp;autoRun=true
  111. </pre>
  112. <p>
  113. After the test suite has been run, click on the "Coverage report" button
  114. to get a coverage report.
