Method-Coverage out of Line-Coverage?

[equetzal]

Hey Community, I'm interested into knowing if there's a way to generate the Method-Coverage results based on a cobertura report that only includes line-coverage metadata.

So, as far as I understand, from the documentation, the cobertura report could include data for each method and its coverage, but the current reports I'm getting generated does not contain this information and doing so will require some time. So, in the meanwhile I'm looking for a way to generate that information from the line-coverage.

I think this is possible, but requires some grammatical reading of the source files, so I'm wondering if there's some work already towards this, or maybe I'm missing something on the tools that already exist (including this one).

In order to get Method-Coverage results, the information which methods exist in the code base is essential.

ReportGenerator extracts this information from the coverage file. E.g. the method element in a cobertura report:

ReportGenerator/src/Testprojects/CSharp/Reports/Cobertura_coverlet.xml

Line 11 in c68f7cc

<method name=".ctor" signature="()" line-rate="1" branch-rate="1" complexity="1">

It would also be possible to parse and interpret the source code, but that's currently not implemented.
