# Contributing
Contributions are highly welcome, however, except for very small changes, kindly file an issue and let's have a discussion before you open a pull request.
## Building The Project
Clone this repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tonerdo/coverlet
```
Change directory to repo root:
```bash
cd coverlet
```
Execute build script:
```bash
dotnet msbuild build.proj
```
This will result in the following:
* Restore all NuGet packages required for building
* Build and publish all projects. Final binaries are placed into `<repo_root>\build\<Configuration>`
* Build and run tests
These steps must be followed before you attempt to open the solution in an IDE (e.g. Visual Studio, Rider) for all projects to be loaded successfully.
## Performance testing
There is a simple performance test for the hit counting instrumentation in the test project `coverlet.core.performancetest`. Build the project with the msbuild step above and then run:
dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true test/coverlet.core.performancetest/
The duration of the test can be tweaked by changing the number of iterations in the `[InlineData]` in the `PerformanceTest` class.
For more realistic testing it is recommended to try out any changes to the hit counting code paths on large, realistic projects. If you don't have any handy https://github.com/dotnet/corefx is an excellent candidate. [This page](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/Documentation/building/code-coverage.md) describes how to run code coverage tests for both the full solution and for individual projects with coverlet from nuget. Suitable projects (listed in order of escalating test durations):
* System.Collections.Concurrent.Tests
* System.Collections.Tests
* System.Reflection.Metadata.Tests
* System.Xml.Linq.Events.Tests
* System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Tests
Change to the directory of the library and run the msbuild code coverage command:
dotnet msbuild /t:BuildAndTest /p:Coverage=true
To run with a development version of coverlet call `dotnet run` instead of the installed coverlet version, e.g.:
dotnet msbuild /t:BuildAndTest /p:Coverage=true /p:CoverageExecutablePath="dotnet run -p C:\...\coverlet\src\coverlet.console\coverlet.console.csproj"
