 Description  « Hide
When I create a new class, I get a "Coverage data outdated!" banner on the editor for that file.

I think this UI is wrong for several reasons:

1. It takes up too much space.
2. Great, so the data is out of date – just don't show the coverage highlights in the gutter.
3. The data isn't really 'outdated' – it's just not there for this file, since it hasn't been run yet.

My main complaint is #1 – why introduce a brand new affordance in the UI just for this error? I'm not aware of any other errors that pop up as a banner at the top of the editor.

Attaching screenshot so you can see the "! Coverage data outdated" header I'm talking about.

There are a number of usages of this UI now: inspections which report problems over file; incoming change notification, etc

Unfortunately we are unable to determine wether this file is created or was not modified for a long time. Thus marks are essential otherwise there would be reports about absent coverage whithout any reason.

Sorry for inconvenience.
