Webmock interferes with coverage transmission

[otupman]

Code coverage transmission gets interfered with by HTTP mocking frameworks such as Webmock.

Delightfully, Coveralls have a workaround that can be used:

WebMock.disable_net_connect! allow: %w{codecov.io}

I feel it's probably something worth mentioning on the documentation, if only to save others the few minutes of Googling I did to find that workaround!

Thank you @otupman, is this something I can add to the code base? Or just documentation.

[otupman]

Hmm, good question. That particular line itself is purely for documentation purposes, however Coveralls also have a built-in fix for it:

  if defined?(WebMock) &&
    allow = WebMock::Config.instance.allow || []
    WebMock::Config.instance.allow = [*allow].push API_HOST
  end

  if defined?(VCR)
    VCR.send(VCR.version.major < 2 ? :config : :configure) do |c|
      c.ignore_hosts API_HOST
    end
  end

The coveralls-ruby license is MIT, so making use of that should be fine.

I've optimistically forked the code base, so I might submit a fix for it - but no promises, right now I've weirdly got two failing tests: the one I've added for webmock but also test_werkcer. Does testunit run tests in parallel?

Thanks for the snippit - I'll add it to the code base soon or you can contribute it :) I'm not sure about the testunit running parallel... Are my tests failing?
