Summary	0001170: Provide a way to disable the path coverage
Description	PHPUnit with code coverage is way slower on XDebug 2.3 than on 2.2 (see http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=1123 for the report). My guess is that this is related to the fact that XDebug 2.3 computes the path coverage, not only the line coverage. However, PHPUnit is currently not able to process this information. This means that we are currently doing lots of useless coverage computation. Having an option to tell XDebug that we don't need the path coverage would be great. PHPUnit could then use it until it supports rendering this path coverage.
Tags	No tags attached.

Operating System
PHP Version	5.6.0-5.6.4

stof 2015-06-25 13:38 developer ~0003133	Well, is there actually a way to disable branch coverage ? I don't see anything about this in the doc: http://xdebug.org/docs/code_coverage

derick 2015-11-09 02:03 administrator ~0003215	I think this should be a lot better in Xdebug 2.4.0beta1 due to https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/commit/38f72a294d86dfb86e8789911b0b1a827d9e1fe9 — could you please test with Xdebug (latest from GIT master)?

Maks3w 2015-11-09 08:49 reporter ~0003217	Side note: Path coverage is enabled with XDEBUG_CC_BRANCH_CHECK flag https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug.org/pull/23. PHPUnit will support path coverage https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-code-coverage/pull/400

derick 2015-11-19 16:07 administrator ~0003235	I am closing this, as path coverage specifically needs to be turned on. There was a bug that always caused path coverage to be enabled, but that should be fixed in 2.4.0beta1.
