You cannot use <code>http://example.org/jscoverage.html</code> + to measure the code coverage of a page located on <code>http://example.com/</code>. + </p> + + <p> + The fundamental reason for this limitation is the + <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/same-origin.html">Same Origin Policy</a> + for untrusted JavaScript. + </p> + + <p> + (In fact, the current version of JSCoverage is slightly more restrictive + than this: it requires that the JavaScript being measured reside under the + same <strong>directory</strong> as the <code>jscoverage.html</code> file.) + </p> + + <h3>Why doesn't my test suite run under JSCoverage in Firefox 3?</h3> + + <p> + Firefox 3 introduces <a + href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/jsunit/message/1075">new + security restrictions</a> on local files. Depending on the way your + test suite is organized, this may cause problems for JSCoverage. + (You may get the error "uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window._$jscoverage".) + There are several workarounds: + </p> + + <ul class="list"> + <li><p>Place your files on a web server instead of loading them from the file system. + This is usually the simplest solution.</p> + <li><p>Organize your HTML files in your test suite in a flat directory structure. For example, suppose that + you instrument your test suite with this command:</p> +<pre> +jscoverage src instrumented +</pre> + <p>If all your HTML files are located directly under the <code>src/</code> directory (i.e., not in a + subdirectory of <code>src/</code>), then you should not have any problems using Firefox 3.</p> + <li><p>Set the <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration">Firefox preference</a> named + <code><a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.origin_policy">security.fileuri.origin_policy</a></code> + to 3.</p> + </ul> + + <h3>I'm trying to load my code with the URL + <code>file:///C:/foo/bar/jscoverage.html?foo/bar.html</code> + and I'm getting all kinds of JavaScript errors.</h3> + + <p> + Internet Explorer 6 seems to have problems with a <code>file:</code> URL + that has a query string with a slash in it. + </p> + <p> + As a workaround: + </p> + <ul class="list"> + <li><p>Place your files on a web server instead of loading them from the file system. + (<code>http:</code> URLs work fine.)</p> + <li><p>Do not use a query string; enter your URL in the "URL" field in the "Browser" tab.</p> + <li><p>Rearrange your directory structure so that <code>bar.html</code> + ends up in the same directory as <code>jscoverage.html</code>; then + you can use the URL + <code>file:///C:/foo/bar/jscoverage.html?bar.html</code> + with no slash in the query string.</p> + <li><p>Use a different browser. (IE 7 seems to work.)</p> + </ul> + + <h3>JSCoverage changes my cursor to a busy cursor, and it never changes back!</h3> + + <p> + Certain browsers (<i>e. g</i>., Internet Explorer 6, Opera, Safari) have trouble changing + the cursor. Try moving the mouse and your cursor should change back to normal. + </p> + + <p> + See <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/631908bd63241136/783c307480f95d8c">this discussion</a> for more information. + </p> + + <h3>JSCoverage hangs sometimes when rendering the coverage report.</h3> + + <p> + With Internet Explorer 6 (I think I see a pattern here), garbage collection can cause performance problems. + (More information <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/garbage-collection-in-ie6">here</a>.) + </p> + + <h3 id="jsunit">Can JSCoverage be used with <a href="http://www.jsunit.net/">JsUnit</a>?</h3> + + <p> + It is necessary to run JSCoverage in <dfn>inverted mode</dfn>. You will have to + modify JsUnit to launch JSCoverage. + </p> + + <p> + See the directory <code>doc/example-jsunit</code> for an example. It + contains a copy of JsUnit version 2.2alpha11, with the file + <code>jsunit/app/main-data.html</code> slightly modified to add a button + which launches JSCoverage. It also contains a simple unit test file <code>test.html</code>. You + can instrument this example as follows: + </p> + +<pre> +jscoverage --no-instrument=jsunit doc/example-jsunit doc/instrumented-jsunit +</pre> + + <p> + You can then run the <code>test.html</code> file in JsUnit's <code>jsunit/testRunner.html</code>. + The simplest way to do this is probably to copy the contents of <code>doc/instrumented-jsunit</code> + to the root of a web server and then access the URL + </p> + +<pre> +http://127.0.0.1/jsunit/testRunner.html?testPage=http://127.0.0.1/test.html&autoRun=true +</pre> + + <p> + After the test suite has been run, click on the "Coverage report" button + to get a coverage report. + </p> + + </div> + </div> + <div id="jscoverage-sidebar" class="yui-b"> + <ul> + <li><a href="./">Home</a> + <li><a href="news.html">News</a> <a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/news.xml" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS feed for JSCoverage"><img src="feed-icon-14x14.png" alt="RSS feed"></a> + <li><a href="manual.html">Documentation</a> + <li><a href="demo.html">Demo</a> + <li><a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/download.html">Download</a> + <li>FAQ + <li><a href="help.html">Help</a> + <li><a href="license.html">License</a> + <li><a href="links.html">Links</a> + <li><a href="users.html">Users</a> + <li><a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/bugs/">Bug tracker</a> + </ul> + </div> + </div> + <div id="ft"> + <address> + Copyright © 2007, 2008 <a href="http://siliconforks.com/"><img src="siliconforks-16x16.png" width="16" height="16" class="icon" alt="Silicon Forks"></a> <a href="http://siliconforks.com/">siliconforks.com</a><br> + <a href="mailto:jscoverage@siliconforks.com">jscoverage@siliconforks.com</a> + </address> + </div> +</div> +</body> +</html> |
