Subject: [ruby-core:76122] [Ruby trunk Bug#12480] Restarting Coverage does not capture additional coverage for already loaded files

Issue #12480 has been updated by Michael Grosser.


Solved this by using Coverage.peek_result in the before-fork part of my code to capture the current state and then merged it after the fork is done :D 

Feel free to close this now!

Bug #12480: Restarting Coverage does not capture additional coverage for already loaded files

----------------------------------------
I'm trying to combine coverage from before fork and after fork to make coverage reporting work in a forking test runner.
The problem I ran into is 2-fold:
 - A: when forking, previous coverage is lost
 - B: when restarting coverage, old files do not get added to

I could work around issue A by storing the old result and then merging it with the new result post fork, but issue B makes that impossible.

Please fix either A or B ... 

Reproduction steps for A:

~~~
# reproduce.rb
require 'coverage'

Coverage.start
require_relative 'test'
a

fork do
  b
  new = Coverage.result
  puts "NEW: #{new}"
end


# test.rb
def a
  1
end

def b
  1
end
~~~

NEW: {"/Users/mgrosser/Code/tools/forking_test_runner/test.rb"=>[0, 0, nil, nil, 0, 1, nil]}
-> missing coverage information for method `a`

Reproduction steps for B:
~~~
# reproduce.rb
require 'coverage'

Coverage.start
require_relative 'test'
a
old = Coverage.result
Coverage.start
b
new = Coverage.result
puts "OLD: #{old} -- NEW: #{new}"

# test.rb
def a
  1
end

def b
  1
end
~~~

OLD: {"test.rb"=>[1, 1, nil, nil, 1, 0, nil]} -- NEW: {"test.rb"=>[]}
-> missing coverage information for method `b`
