Summary

Phase 4 of the coverage plan tracked on #1171: the regression harness collects coverage on request, so a host-side wrapper can upload it under the regression flag that codecov.yml already declares.

  • REGRESSION_COVERAGE_TOOL names a host directory holding dotnet-coverage.dll. When it is set, the process and custom plugin runs execute under dotnet-coverage collect, each writing coverage_<run>.xml beside its log. When it is unset, the runs are unchanged.
  • Plugins build with -p:PathMap=<build dir>=/Builder, and their PDB is copied beside the DLL. So codecov.yml's /Builder/:: fixes rule maps plugin sources the same way it maps the image's.
  • RegressionTests/README.md "Running the harness" documents the variable, the reports, and how a run's version resolves to its commit. OPERATIONS.md "Measure code coverage" points there.

The wrapper and the upload live in the private host-configuration repository, as OPERATIONS.md already says.

Verification

  • In the develop image, dotnet-coverage collect ... /PlexCleaner/Debug/PlexCleaner defaultsettings --settingsfile=... passed the dashed arguments through and wrote a Cobertura report with /Builder source paths.
  • A Debug build of MatroskaHeaderCleanup with the path map gave its portable PDB /Builder document paths.
  • shellcheck and shfmt -d are clean, and prose_lint.py --diff is clean apart from the comment lines this change adds, which the comments label covers.
  • A local strict review at the frontier tier raised 2 documentation findings on the first pass, both fixed in 4b32745. Each later push, the fixes for Qodo's stale-report finding and Copilot's and CodeRabbit's findings among them, had its own pass, and none raised a finding.
  • End-to-end run on the host: plexcleaner-regression.sh coverage quick develop reduced with this branch as the harness ref, over the develop image 3.23.53-g0644743d39. The process and MatroskaHeaderCleanup runs each wrote a Cobertura report, the plugin's naming /Builder/Plugins sources. The upload resolved the commit to 0644743 on develop. Codecov's flags list now holds regression, and its report for that commit under the flag reads 53.25% over 65 files, with both plugin files mapped to repository paths.

When set, the process and plugin runs execute under dotnet-coverage collect and write a Cobertura report beside their logs, so a host-side wrapper can upload them under the regression flag. Plugins build with a path map to /Builder, so codecov.yml's existing fixes rule maps their sources as it maps the image's.

A release build's version has no -g suffix, while every image version is a release tag, so the tag is what names the commit.

- Line 358: Serialize concurrent runs that resolve to the same VersionDir before
cleanup can remove coverage reports. Add an exclusive lock in RunRegressionTests
at the start of the run, and ensure a competing invocation is rejected or waits
until the lock is released; preserve existing cleanup behavior once the lock is
held.
- Line 420: Update the CoverageTool validation condition so it checks that
dotnet-coverage.dll is readable and its directory is traversable by the nonroot
container user, rather than relying on the root-run file-existence check.
Preserve the existing invalid-path checks and ensure covered runs reject
inaccessible tools before invoking dotnet.
- Line 420: Update the CoverageTool validation condition to resolve
dotnet-coverage.dll and verify its target remains inside the tool directory;
reject it with an error before launch if it resolves outside, while preserving
the existing checks for invalid tool paths and missing DLLs.

Walkthrough

The regression harness now supports optional Cobertura coverage collection for process and plugin runs. It validates the coverage tool path, creates run-specific reports, and maps plugin source paths while copying plugin symbols. The documentation describes setup and report handling.

Changes: Regression Coverage Collection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Map plugin sources and copy symbols
RegressionTests/regression-test.sh
Plugin builds map source paths to /Builder and copy the generated PDB into the version directory. The script returns failure if the PDB copy fails.
Configure regression coverage runs
RegressionTests/regression-test.sh, RegressionTests/README.md, OPERATIONS.md
When REGRESSION_COVERAGE_TOOL is set, the script validates its path and uses dotnet-coverage for process and plugin runs. It removes reports from earlier runs. The documentation describes setup, report paths, source mapping, and commit lookup. Reference-style links replace inline links in the regression README.

Mergeable with bounded follow-up: avoid overlapping runs and use a readable, self-contained coverage-tool directory. Otherwise, coverage reports can be lost or an opt-in coverage run can fail.

Collect regression harness coverage on request

✨ Enhancement 📝 Documentation 🕐 10-20 Minutes

AI Description

• Add opt-in Cobertura collection for regression process and plugin runs without changing ordinary
 runs.
• Map plugin debug symbols to the image’s source root so Codecov can resolve their files.
• Document report locations, commit resolution, and the boundary between harness collection and
 private uploads.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Bundle the collector in the image
  • ➕ Eliminates the host tool mount and its setup.
  • ➖ Adds coverage tooling to published images for a host-specific, optional run.

Recommendation: Keep the opt-in host-mounted collector: it preserves ordinary harness behavior and avoids changing published images. The tradeoff is that the private host wrapper must supply the tool and upload the reports.

Remediation recommended

1. Old coverage appears in new runs ✓ Resolved
Description
SetLaunch writes reports to fixed filenames, but RunRegressionTests reuses the version directory
without removing reports from earlier invocations. Rerunning a build without coverage, with fewer
plugins, or after a plugin build fails leaves old reports beside the current run's logs and build
metadata, where an uploader can mistake them for current coverage.
Code

RegressionTests/regression-test.sh[291]

+    SetLaunch "$Tag" "$ConfigDir/coverage_custom_${Dll%.dll}.xml"
Evidence
The harness explicitly reuses the version directory, selects plugins independently for each
invocation, and skips plugins whose build fails. The newly added coverage paths are fixed per
process and plugin; no cleanup removes a report when its corresponding run is omitted.

RegressionTests/regression-test.sh[223-225]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The harness reuses version directories, so fixed-name coverage reports from earlier invocations can survive a run that does not regenerate them.
## Fix Focus Areas
- RegressionTests/regression-test.sh[338-358]
- RegressionTests/regression-test.sh[223-225]
- RegressionTests/regression-test.sh[289-291]
## Recommended Fix
Remove existing `coverage_*.xml` reports from the selected version directory at the start of each invocation, including invocations without coverage. Keep the report paths unchanged so only reports generated by the current process and successful plugin runs remain.

What changed in this PR

Adds opt-in .NET coverage collection to the regression harness while preserving existing behavior when coverage is disabled. Reports use /Builder source mapping for Codecov integration and are documented for host operators.

Changes:

  • Runs process and custom-plugin tests through dotnet-coverage when REGRESSION_COVERAGE_TOOL is set.
  • Builds plugins with /Builder path mapping and copies PDB files for coverage symbol resolution.
  • Documents coverage usage, report locations, commit resolution, and the operational workflow.
  • Outstanding findings include stale coverage reports across reruns, relative coverage-tool paths not being normalized, and two documentation/comment-style nits.

This pull request requires changes.

File Description
RegressionTests/​regression-test.sh Adds optional coverage execution, plugin PDB/path-map handling, and tool validation. Findings: stale reports and relative tool paths are moderate issues; redundant comments are a nit.
RegressionTests/​README.md Documents enabling regression coverage, locating reports, and resolving the run version. Finding: use reference-style links as a nit.
OPERATIONS.md Connects the regression coverage mode to the overall coverage runbook.

Review effort: Lite

Comment thread RegressionTests/README.md Resolved
A version directory is reused across runs of one build, so a report a later run did not regenerate would otherwise pass for that run's.

Docker reads a relative --volume source without a leading ./ as a named volume, so the run would mount an empty volume rather than the tool.
