How is the coverage functions of the template are to be used?

Is there some instructions on how the coverage aspect of the template are to be used?

I ran cmake build with preset dev-coverage and target all, I see my code compiling, test run, then I run cmake with target coverage, I get a coverage.info file but it is empty, I am unclear what I am doing wrong.

There is a preset that is run in CI on Ubuntu using Clang to get you started with coverage. There used to be an OpenCppCoverage file as well as a template to help people do coverage on Windows as well, but I deemed it unnecessary. The file cmake-init/templates/common/cmake/coverage.cmake contains some targets for lcov and the necessary flags for coverage instrumentation are passed in via presets. The dev-coverage user preset basically just forwards to this preset.

For complete coverage instructions, you may just refer to the coverage CI job.

ok, I was trying to figure out how I could use that in vscode, the cmake integration is not as clear as running the CLI commands... I will try to figure this out based on the CLI commands seen in there, thanks.
