[giorgiozoppi]

Dear all,
which are the tech limitations for supporting Linux?

Please provide the following information when submitting an issue.

Where appropriate replace the [ ] with a [X]

My Framework

• .NET 2
• .NET 3.5
• .NET 4
• .NET 4.5
• .NET 4.6
• .NET 4.6.1
• .NET 4.6.2
• .NET 4.7
• .NET 4.7.1
• .NET 4.7.2
• .NET Core 1.0.0
• .NET Core 2.0.0
• Something else

My Environment

• Windows 7 or below (not truly supported due to EOL)
• Windows 8
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 10
• Windows 10 IoT Core
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2012 R2
• Windows Server 2016

I have already...

• repeated the problem using the latest stable release of OpenCover.
• reviewed the usage guide and usage document.
• have looked at the opencover output xml file in an attempt to resolve the issue.
• reviewed the current issues to check that the issue isn't already known.

My issue is related to (check only those which apply):

• no coverage being recorded
• 32 or 64 bit support
• feature request

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

Fill me in...

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• reviewed the usage guide and usage document again because we know you probably didn't do it the first time.
• sample code or link to repository/gist is available (support is much faster this way)

I believe the profiler API for .NET core is now there/ready for .NET core 2.0 or 3.0

The biggest issue is time and resources

[giorgiozoppi]

Can you lead me on that? Point out what i have to read. assign to me.

[sawilde]

A thread was started here #703 and https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/project-docs/profiling-api-status.md

There are few alternatives mentioned that would work on .NET core that don't use the Profiler API

And of course the OpenCover source code - you need to be familiar with c++ and crossplatform (linux/windows) development

[giorgiozoppi]

No problem with C++. I would read the doc.

I have decided that I will not be porting OpenCover to Linux - sorry
