There is a block of code in our application that was not tested but still highlighted in green. Is there a way to see where this come from?

I can't duplicate without example, but please see #340

SimpleCov doesn't record tested code. It records executed code. So, assuming simplecov starts before any app code is loaded or run, it will record any code executed simply by requiring/loading the file, and any tests that execute that code.

The best you could do, and this is just regular ruby, is

def method_i_am_not_testing
  puts "And yet I am being called by #{caller[0]}"
end

Please re-open with any new info if you believe I closed this in error.

Alright, I found what was doing it. It was called indirectly by another method which I am using in a test I didn't finish writing yet.

What bugs me is that testing the bigger methods implies testing some of the smaller ones. In practice, I like to test each method individually.

Well, the real problem is that we are using newly executed code for tested code. That's just the nature of the beast, for now.
