Hi,

I struggle for a functionality I want to add on Autotest. Suppose a class with two methods A and B, such as A senders of B

Zork>>methodA

   self methodB

And unit tests:

ZorkTest>>testSomething

   .....

   Zork new methodA

  ...

  self assert: ....

If I change methodA, Autotest detects it, search all senders of methodA in tests and run. As  ZorkTest>>testSomething is sender of Zork>>methodA, it will find and run it.

Now if I change methodB and there's no senders in tests, the previous heuristic won't work. So I added as last heuristic: if no method found, search all TestCases that references the changed method class and run. 

So here it will find ZorkTest and run all its tests. 

The problem is that I don't really know if the method I've changed has been actually "hit" by the tests. I just see that tests has been run. I don't know if my method has been called when running the tests. 

So I want to detect this.

One way of doing this seems to use MethodContext>>runSimulated:contextAtEachStep:. I've found this looking at MessageTally. Is it the best solution ?

So in Autotest>>findRunAndShowTestsOf: I try something like this

Autotest>>findRunAndShowTestsOf:changedMethod

  | testMethods aTestResult methodHit |

        .....

but using this debugger opens with "SimulationGuardException: triggered by BlockClosure>>newProcess" in MethodContext>>doPrimitive:method:receiver:args: 

As I don't (yet :) understand all this stuff, I want to know if it's the right way to do it and what should I check.

Thanks
