Exiting without generating coverage...

Tested in OSX and facing error.

@thackerronak I can't reproduce this.

testrpc-sc creates a file and writes to it - it's possible there's something about the way your node permissions are configured that's causing a problem here.

Closing, please ping if you're still having trouble with this.

I have exactly the same issue. Is there a solution found?

[cgewecke]

@victorvanderhulst How are you installing?

[victorvanderhulst]

@cgewecke By following the instructions in the Readme.
I just run:
npm install --save-dev solidity-coverage

Running ./node_modules/.bin/solidity-coverage results in:

testRpc stderr:
/bin/sh: /Users/victor/Projects/private_sale_SC_Lockup-Git/node_modules/ethereumjs-testrpc-sc/build/cli.node.js: Permission denied

[cgewecke]

@victorvanderhulst You shouldn't have to do this but if you run

chmod +x /Users/victor/Projects/private_sale_SC_Lockup-Git/node_modules/ethereumjs-testrpc-sc/build/cli.node.js

does that work?

Are you also on OSX like @thackerronak?

I'm on OSX and I don't get this error. There must some difference in the way our Node permissions are configured.

NB: we invoke that file directly because there have been issues for yarn users invoking the .bin.

[victorvanderhulst]

@cgewecke Thanks, permission denied error is resolved ;)
And I could figure this out myself of course... too bad ;)

I'm using MacOS indeed.

[cgewecke]

@victorvanderhulst Ok cool - I'm going to re-open this because it's weird and chmod should not be necessary.

[cgewecke]

I think this is fixed. We're invoking testrpc-sc using npx and the permissions are inherited from ganache-cli. This might have been a weird bug I introduced at some point by messing around on our fork... If anyone else experiences this, please ping.
