Zero coverage reported if SimpleCov.ROOT contains "("

[Joerny]

If you start SimpleCov in a directory like "/foo/bar (foobar)" you get "0 / 0 LOC (0.0%) covered".

The reason seems to be the "root_filter" defined in defaults.rb. The RegExp pattern will be parsed wrong if the directory has included parenthesis.

> filename = "/foo/bar (foobar)/somefile.rb"
=> "/foo/bar (foobar)/somefile.rb"
> test = "/foo/bar"
=> "/foo/bar"
> !(filename =~ /^#{test}/)
=> false
> test = "/foo/bar (foobar)"
=> "/foo/bar (foobar)"
> !(filename =~ /^#{test}/)
=> true

Obviously something is not being escaped there properly, I'll check it out.

[Joerny]

Could it be done simply with

src.filename.starts_with?(SimpleCov.root))

[colszowka]

Yeah, I guess so :)

The fix @rli9 submitted is shipped as part of the last 0.8 prerelease and will soon also be released as a regular 0.8.0, so I'm closing this.
