If you have followed us, you know we love the general developer community as much as we love our own Daml.

Question of the Month: How to Achieve Test Coverage 100%?

We had a great question recently by new Daml developer nr185 that deserved to be called out!

Essentially, this has to do with testing your code with the daml test --show-coverage --all command that was not returning 100%.

According to NR185 it keep returning “test coverage: templates 100%, choices 89%”

So, how do we update so that the coverage choice becomes 100% ?

Another forum user Quidagis pushed NR185 to share how he fixed the issue:

nr185 learned that to get 100%, you need to ensure that

(1) all templates have been created and that

(2) all choices have been executed both in exerciseCmd and in archiveCmd.

Thus, when you run the command :
daml test --show-coverage --all

the result will be :

test coverage: templates 100%, choices 100%
templates never created: returns none and
choices never executed: returns none!

Solution found!

Thanks to NR185 for the step through and to Quidagis for championing that response!
