Load coverage into VSCode

[linuxerwang]

Hi,

After running "plz cover", what's the correct way to let VSCode show covered/uncovered lines?

Thanks.

Each invocation of plz cover writes coverage results to plz-out/log/coverage.json and plz-out/log/coverage.xml (these paths can be changed with the --coverage_results_file and --coverage_xml_report options to plz cover). The XML file written by Please doesn't formally conform to a DTD defining a known coverage format, but it ought to be compatible with Cobertura's XML format. I don't use VSCode, but from there it should be a case of using a plugin like coverage-gutters, which apparently supports the parsing of Cobertura XML coverage files (although I make no guarantees about the suitability of that plugin).
