📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The lexer now handles multiline matches with indexed traversal and revised coverage marking. The multiline test script uses variable assignments, and expected coverage data reflects Bash 5.3+ execution counts and line mappings.

Changes

Multiline coverage handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update multiline coverage scanning
lib/bashcov/lexer.rb
complete_coverage advances past matched multiline ranges and separates assignment and non-assignment string matching. mark_multiline applies non-empty matched ranges without coverage-based search guards.
Align multiline assignment coverage
spec/test_app/scripts/multiline2.sh, spec/support/test_app.rb
The fixture assigns multiline values to A, readonly B, and A2. Expected coverage arrays reflect the revised Bash 5.3+ counts and mappings.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 65a80

The lexer refactor can mishandle indented assignments and leave some matched multiline lines unmarked when coverage data is absent, which may lead to inaccurate coverage reports; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded correctness issues.

Allow horizontal indentation in the backward assignment pattern.

The \A[^\s]+ prefix rejects valid indented assignments such as B='...'. This selects the forward: true branch instead of the assignment branch. Bash attributes both top-level and indented assignments to the closing quote line. Accept horizontal indentation before the variable name and add a nested assignment fixture.

Mark matched multiline lines as uncovered when no reference count exists.

When @coverage[reference_lineno] is nil, Line 102 propagates nil, which represents Bashcov::Line::IGNORED. Because match is truthy, Line 81 skips mark_line for the matched range. Relevant multiline lines can therefore remain ignored instead of becoming Bashcov::Line::UNCOVERED (0).

Keep calling mark_line for the matched lines after propagation, or convert nil reference counts to Bashcov::Line::UNCOVERED.

Suggested control flow
-        lineno = match if match
-
-        match ||= mark_line(line, lineno)
+        if match
+          (lineno..match).each do |matched_lineno|
+            mark_line(lines[matched_lineno], matched_lineno)
+          end
+          lineno = match
+        else
+          mark_line(line, lineno)
+        end

Note to self: this new implementation works with Bash 5.3 but breaks compat with earlier Bash versions...
