|
|
|
Istanbul's state of the art command line interface, with support for:
|
|
|
|
* applications that spawn subprocesses.
|
|
* source mapped coverage of Babel and TypeScript projects
|
|
|
|
## Installation & Usage
|
|
|
|
Use your package manager to add it as a dev dependency: `npm i -D nyc` or `yarn add -D nyc`.
|
|
You can use nyc to call npm scripts (assuming they don't already have nyc executed in them), like so (replace `mocha` with your test runner everywhere you see it):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"test": "mocha",
|
|
"coverage": "nyc npm run test"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use also `npx` instead of installing nyc as a dependency, but you might get updates you are not ready for; to get around this, pin to a specific major version by specifying, e.g. `nyc@14`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"test": "npx nyc@latest mocha"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a good way of testing upcoming releases of nyc, usually on the `next` tag.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: If you use [`jest`](https://npm.im/jest) or [`tap`](https://www.node-tap.org/), you do not need to install `nyc`.
|
|
Those runners already have the IstanbulJS libraries to provide coverage for you.
|
|
Follow their documentation to enable and configure coverage reporting.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring `nyc`
|
|
|
|
nyc accepts a wide variety of configuration arguments, run `npx nyc --help` for thorough documentation.
|
|
|
|
Configuration arguments on the command-line should be provided prior to the program that nyc is executing.
|
|
As an example, the following command executes `ava`, and indicates to nyc that it should output both an `lcov` (`lcov.info` + html report) and a `text-summary` coverage report.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nyc --reporter=lcov --reporter=text-summary ava
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Babel projects
|
|
|
|
Please start with the pre-configured [`@istanbuljs/nyc-config-babel`] preset.
|
|
You can add your custom configuration options as shown below.
|
|
|
|
### TypeScript projects
|
|
|
|
Please start with the pre-configured [`@istanbuljs/nyc-config-typescript`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@istanbuljs/nyc-config-typescript) preset.
|
|
|
|
#### Adding your overrides
|
|
|
|
nyc allows you to inherit other configurations using the key `extends` in the `package.json` stanza, `.nycrc`, or YAML files.
|
|
You can then add the specific configuration options you want that aren't in that particular shared config, e.g.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"extends": "@istanbuljs/nyc-config-typescript",
|
|
"all": true,
|
|
"check-coverage": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration files
|
|
|
|
Any configuration options that can be set via the command line can also be specified in the `nyc` stanza of your package.json, or within a separate configuration file - a variety of flavors are available:
|
|
|
|
| File name | File Association |
|
|
|-----------------|------------------|
|
|
| `.nycrc` | JSON |
|
|
| `.nycrc.json` | JSON |
|
|
| `.nycrc.yaml` | YAML |
|
|
| `.nycrc.yml` | YAML |
|
|
| `nyc.config.js` | CommonJS export |
|
|
|
|
### Common Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
See `nyc --help` for all options available.
|
|
You can set these in any of the files listed above, or from the command line.
|
|
This table is a quick TLDR for the rest of this readme and there are more advanced docs available.
|
|
|
|
| Option name | Description | Type | Default |
|
|
| ----------- | ----------- | ---- | ------- |
|
|
| `all` | Whether or not to instrument all files (not just the ones touched by your test suite) | `Boolean` | `false` |
|
|
| `check-coverage` | Check whether coverage is within thresholds, fail if not | `Boolean` | `false` |
|
|
| `extension` | List of extensions that nyc should attempt to handle in addition to `.js` | `Array<String>` | `['.js', '.cjs', '.mjs', '.ts', '.tsx', '.jsx']` |
|
|
| `include` | See [selecting files for coverage] for more info | `Array<String>` | `['**']`|
|
|
| `exclude` | See [selecting files for coverage] for more info | `Array<String>` | [list](https://github.com/istanbuljs/schema/blob/master/default-exclude.js) |
|
|
| `reporter` | [Coverage reporters to use](https://istanbul.js.org/docs/advanced/alternative-reporters/) | `Array<String>` | `['text']` |
|
|
| `report-dir` | Where to put the coverage report files | `String` | `./coverage` |
|
|
| `skip-full` | Don't show files with 100% statement, branch, and function coverage | `Boolean` | `false` |
|
|
| `temp-dir` | Directory to output raw coverage information to | `String` | `./.nyc_output` |
|
|
|
|
Configuration can also be provided by `nyc.config.js` if programmed logic is required:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
const defaultExclude = require('@istanbuljs/schema/default-exclude');
|
|
const isWindows = require('is-windows');
|
|
|
|
let platformExclude = [
|
|
isWindows() ? 'lib/posix.js' : 'lib/win32.js'
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
exclude: platformExclude.concat(defaultExclude)
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Publish and reuse your nyc configuration(s)
|
|
|
|
To publish and reuse your own `nyc` configuration, simply create an npm module that exports your JSON config (via [`index.json`](https://github.com/istanbuljs/istanbuljs/blob/master/packages/nyc-config-typescript/) or a CJS [`index.js`](https://github.com/istanbuljs/istanbuljs/blob/master/packages/nyc-config-hook-run-in-this-context/)).
|
|
|
|
A more advanced use case would be to combine multiple shared configs in a `nyc.config.js` file:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
const babelConfig = require('@istanbuljs/nyc-config-babel');
|
|
const hookRunInThisContextConfig = require('@istanbuljs/nyc-config-hook-run-in-this-context');
|
|
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
...babelConfig,
|
|
...hookRunInThisContextConfig,
|
|
all: true,
|
|
'check-coverage': true
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Selecting files for coverage
|
|
|
|
By default, nyc only collects coverage for source files that are visited during a test.
|
|
It does this by watching for files that are `require()`'d during the test.
|
|
When a file is `require()`'d, nyc creates and returns an instrumented version of the source, rather than the original.
|
|
Only source files that are visited during a test will appear in the coverage report and contribute to coverage statistics.
|
|
|
|
nyc will instrument all files if the `--all` flag is set or if running `nyc instrument`.
|
|
In this case all files will appear in the coverage report and contribute to coverage statistics.
|
|
|
|
nyc will only collect coverage for files that are located under `cwd`, and then only files with extensions listed in the `extension` array.
|
|
|
|
You can reduce the set of instrumented files by adding `include` and `exclude` filter arrays to your config.
|
|
These allow you to shape the set of instrumented files by specifying glob patterns that can filter files from the default instrumented set.
|
|
The `exclude` array may also use exclude negated glob patterns, these are specified with a `!` prefix, and can restore sub-paths of excluded paths.
|
|
|
|
Globs are matched using [minimatch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/minimatch).
|
|
|
|
We use the following process to remove files from consideration:
|
|
|
|
1. Limit the set of instrumented files to those files in paths listed in the `include` array.
|
|
2. Remove any files that are found in the `exclude` array.
|
|
3. Restore any exclude negated files that have been excluded in step 2.
|
|
|
|
### Using include and exclude arrays
|
|
|
|
If there are paths specified in the `include` array, then the set of instrumented files will be limited to eligible files found in those paths.
|
|
If the `include` array is left undefined all eligible files will be included, equivalent to setting `include: ['**']`.
|
|
Multiple `include` globs can be specified on the command line, each must follow a `--include`, `-n` switch.
|
|
|
|
If there are paths specified in the `exclude` array, then the set of instrumented files will not feature eligible files found in those paths.
|
|
You can also specify negated paths in the `exclude` array, by prefixing them with a `!`.
|
|
Negated paths can restore paths that have been already been excluded in the `exclude` array.
|
|
Multiple `exclude` globs can be specified on the command line, each must follow a `--exclude`, `-x` switch.
|
|
|
|
The default `exclude` list is defined in the [@istanbuljs/schema module](https://github.com/istanbuljs/schema/blob/master/default-exclude.js).
|
|
Specifying your own exclude property completely replaces these defaults.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following `nyc` config will collect coverage for every file in the `src` directory regardless of whether it is `require()`'d in a test.
|
|
It will also exclude any files with the extension `.spec.js`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"all": true,
|
|
"include": [
|
|
"src/**/*.js"
|
|
],
|
|
"exclude": [
|
|
"**/*.spec.js"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Be wary of automatic OS glob expansion when specifying include/exclude globs with the CLI.
|
|
To prevent this, wrap each glob in single quotes.
|
|
|
|
### Including files within `node_modules`
|
|
|
|
We always add `**/node_modules/**` to the exclude list, even if not specified in the config.
|
|
You can override this by setting `--exclude-node-modules=false`.
|
|
|
|
For example, `"excludeNodeModules: false"` in the following `nyc` config will prevent `node_modules` from being added to the exclude rules.
|
|
The set of include rules then restrict nyc to only consider instrumenting files found under the `lib/` and `node_modules/@my-org/` directories.
|
|
The exclude rules then prevent nyc instrumenting anything in a `test` folder and the file `node_modules/@my-org/something/unwanted.js`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"all": true,
|
|
"include": [
|
|
"lib/**",
|
|
"node_modules/@my-org/**"
|
|
],
|
|
"exclude": [
|
|
"node_modules/@my-org/something/unwanted.js",
|
|
"**/test/**"
|
|
],
|
|
"excludeNodeModules": false
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting the project root directory
|
|
|
|
nyc runs a lot of file system operations relative to the project root directory.
|
|
During startup nyc will look for the *default* project root directory.
|
|
The *default* project root directory is the first directory found that contains a `package.json` file when searching from the current working directory up.
|
|
If nyc fails to find a directory containing a `package.json` file, it will use the current working directory as the *default* project root directory.
|
|
You can change the project root directory with the `--cwd` option.
|
|
|
|
nyc uses the project root directory when:
|
|
|
|
* looking for source files to instrument
|
|
* creating globs for include and exclude rules during file selection
|
|
* loading custom require hooks from the `require` array
|
|
|
|
nyc may create artifact directories within the project root, with these defaults:
|
|
|
|
* the report directory, `<project-root>/coverage`
|
|
* the cache directory, `<project-root>/node_modules/.cache/nyc`
|
|
* the temp directory, `<project-root>/.nyc_output`
|
|
|
|
## Require additional modules
|
|
|
|
The `--require` flag can be provided to `nyc` to indicate that additional modules should be required in the subprocess collecting coverage:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nyc --require esm mocha
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Interaction with `--all` flag
|
|
|
|
The `--require` flag also operates on the main nyc process for use by `--all`.
|
|
For example, in situations with `nyc --all --instrument false` and [`babel-plugin-istanbul`] setup the `--all` option only works if `--require @babel/register` is passed to nyc.
|
|
Passing it to mocha would cause the tests to be instrumented but unloaded sources would not be seen.
|
|
The [`@istanbuljs/nyc-config-babel`] package handles this for you!
|
|
|
|
## Caching
|
|
|
|
`nyc`'s default behavior is to cache instrumented files to disk to prevent instrumenting source files multiple times, and speed `nyc` execution times.
|
|
You can disable this behavior by running `nyc` with the `--cache false` flag.
|
|
You can also change the default cache directory from `./node_modules/.cache/nyc` by setting the `--cache-dir` flag.
|
|
|
|
## Coverage thresholds
|
|
|
|
You can set custom coverage thresholds that will fail if `check-coverage` is set to `true` and your coverage drops below those thresholds.
|
|
For example, in the following `nyc` configuration, dropping below 80% branch, line, functions, or statements coverage would fail the build (you can have any combination of these):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"branches": 80,
|
|
"lines": 80,
|
|
"functions": 80,
|
|
"statements": 80
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To do this check on a per-file basis (as opposed to in aggregate), set the `per-file` option to `true`.
|
|
|
|
### High and low watermarks
|
|
|
|
Several of the coverage reporters supported by nyc display special information for high and low watermarks:
|
|
|
|
* high-watermarks represent healthy test coverage (in many reports this is represented with green highlighting).
|
|
* low-watermarks represent sub-optimal coverage levels (in many reports this is represented with red highlighting).
|
|
|
|
You can specify custom high and low watermarks in nyc's configuration:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"watermarks": {
|
|
"lines": [80, 95],
|
|
"functions": [80, 95],
|
|
"branches": [80, 95],
|
|
"statements": [80, 95]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Parsing Hints (Ignoring Lines)
|
|
|
|
There may be some sections of your codebase that you wish to purposefully
|
|
exclude from coverage tracking, to do so you can use the following parsing
|
|
hints:
|
|
|
|
* `/* istanbul ignore if */`: ignore the next if statement.
|
|
* `/* istanbul ignore else */`: ignore the else portion of an if statement.
|
|
* `/* istanbul ignore next */`: ignore the next _thing_ in the source-code (
|
|
functions, if statements, classes, you name it).
|
|
* `/* istanbul ignore file */`: ignore an entire source-file (this should be
|
|
placed at the top of the file).
|
|
|
|
## Ignoring Methods
|
|
|
|
You can ignore every instance of a method simply by adding its name to the `ignore-class-method` array in your `nyc` config.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"ignore-class-method": ["render"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Combining reports from multiple runs
|
|
|
|
If for whatever reason you have different test runners in your project or a different series of test runs for different kinds of tests, nyc will automatically combine the coverage report for you if configured correctly with the `--no-clean` flag and the `report` command.
|
|
Originally inspired by @janiukjf in #1001, here's an example, where the `test:*` scripts (not shown) invoke only your test runner(s) and not nyc:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"cover": "npm run cover:unit && npm run cover:integration && npm run cover:report",
|
|
"cover:unit": "nyc --silent npm run test:unit",
|
|
"cover:integration": "nyc --silent --no-clean npm run test:integration",
|
|
"cover:report": "nyc report --reporter=lcov --reporter=text"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### What about `nyc merge`?
|
|
|
|
The `nyc merge` command is for producing one _raw coverage output file_ that combines the results from many test runs.
|
|
So if you had the above setup and needed to produce a single `coverage.json` for some external tool, you could do:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"cover:merge": "npm run cover:unit && npm run cover:integration && nyc merge .nyc_output coverage.json"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Source-Map support for pre-instrumented codebases
|
|
|
|
If you opt to pre-instrument your source-code (rather than using a just-in-time transpiler like [`@babel/register`]) nyc supports both inline source-maps and `.map` files.
|
|
|
|
_Important: If you are using nyc with a project that pre-instruments its code, run nyc with the configuration option `--exclude-after-remap` set to `false`.
|
|
Otherwise nyc's reports will exclude any files that source-maps remap to folders covered under exclude rules._
