TCL Coverage in batch mode

Hi All,

I need to get code coverage metrics for a set of TCL scripts.

TCL Debugger shipped as part of TDK supports coverage information collection/exporting.

But: it's possible to do that only using GUI. Meanwhile I have huge set of scripts (more than 1000) and I am using testing framework to run them.

I have not found any information about batch mode for coverage in documentation.

What I need is to make my script connect to a debugger, to start and to run without any breakpoints and by the end of the session export coverage information.

Connection to debugger may be done easily as described in documentation, but the remaining steps require GUI interface.

Does anyone have any idea/info how get the coverage in my case?

Thanks in advance,
Reckon

At this time there is no batch mode for gathering coverage information. It is all GUI controlled. It would be possible to rearchitect for batch mode control, but it isn't a small effort.
