karma-coverage

Generate code coverage using Istanbul.

Installation

The easiest way is to keep karma-coverage as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.10",
    "karma-coverage": "~0.1"
  }
}

You can simple do it by:

npm install karma-coverage --save-dev

Configuration

The following code shows a simple usage:

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    files: [
      'src/**/*.js',
      'test/**/*.js'
    ],

    // coverage reporter generates the coverage
    reporters: ['progress', 'coverage'],

    preprocessors: {
      // source files, that you wanna generate coverage for
      // do not include tests or libraries
      // (these files will be instrumented by Istanbul)
      'src/**/*.js': ['coverage']
    },

    // optionally, configure the reporter
    coverageReporter: {
      type : 'html',
      dir : 'coverage/'
    }
  });
};

Example use with a CoffeeScript project:

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    files: [
      'src/**/*.coffee',
      'test/**/*.coffee'
    ],

    // coverage reporter generates the coverage
    reporters: ['progress', 'coverage'],

    preprocessors: {
      // source files, that you wanna generate coverage for
      // do not include tests or libraries
      // (these files will be instrumented by Istanbul via Ibrik unless
      // specified otherwise in coverageReporter.instrumenter)
      'src/**/*.coffee': ['coverage'],

      // note: project files will already be converted to
      // JavaScript via coverage preprocessor.
      // Thus, you'll have to limit the CoffeeScript preprocessor
      // to uncovered files.
      'test/**/*.coffee': ['coffee']
    },

    // optionally, configure the reporter
    coverageReporter: {
      type : 'html',
      dir : 'coverage/'
    }
  });
};

Here is an advanced usage of karma-coverage, using severals reporters:

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    files: [
      'src/**/*.js',
      'test/**/*.js'
    ],
    reporters: ['progress', 'coverage'],
    preprocessors: {
      'src/**/*.js': ['coverage']
    },
    coverageReporter: {
      // specify a common output directory
      dir: 'build/reports/coverage',
      reporters: [
        // reporters not supporting the `file` property
        { type: 'html', subdir: 'report-html' },
        { type: 'lcov', subdir: 'report-lcov' },
        // reporters supporting the `file` property, use `subdir` to directly
        // output them in the `dir` directory
        { type: 'cobertura', subdir: '.', file: 'cobertura.txt' },
        { type: 'lcovonly', subdir: '.', file: 'report-lcovonly.txt' },
        { type: 'teamcity', subdir: '.', file: 'teamcity.txt' },
        { type: 'text', subdir: '.', file: 'text.txt' },
        { type: 'text-summary', subdir: '.', file: 'text-summary.txt' },
      ]
    }
  });
});

Options

type

Type: String

Description: Specify a reporter type.

Possible Values:

• html (default)
• lcov (lcov and html)
• lcovonly
• text
• text-summary
• cobertura (xml format supported by Jenkins)
• teamcity (code coverage System Messages for TeamCity)
• json (json format supported by grunt-istanbul-coverage)

dir

Type: String

Description: This will be used to output coverage reports. When you set a relative path, the directory is resolved against the basePath.

subdir

Type: String

Description: This will be used in complement of the coverageReporter.dir option to generate the full output directory path. By default, the output directory is set to ./config.dir/BROWSER_NAME/, this option allows you to custom the second part. You can either pass a string or a function which will be called with the browser name passed as the only argument.

coverageReporter: {
  dir: 'coverage',
  subdir: '.'
  // Would output the results into: .'/coverage/'
}

coverageReporter: {
  dir: 'coverage',
  subdir: 'report'
  // Would output the results into: .'/coverage/report/'
}

coverageReporter: {
  dir: 'coverage',
  subdir: function(browser) {
    // normalization process to keep a consistent browser name accross different
    // OS
    return browser.toLowerCase().split(/[ /-]/)[0];
  }
  // Would output the results into: './coverage/firefox/'
}

file

If you choose the cobertura, lcovonly, teamcity, text or text-summary reporters, you may set the file option to specify an output file.

coverageReporter: {
  type : 'text',
  dir : 'coverage/',
  file : 'coverage.txt'
}

watermarks

Type: Object

Description: This will be used to set the coverage threshold colors. The first number is the threshold between Red and Yellow. The second number is the threshold between Yellow and Green.

coverageReporter: {
  watermarks: {
    statements: [ 50, 75 ],
    functions: [ 50, 75 ],
    branches: [ 50, 75 ],
    lines: [ 50, 75 ]
  }
}

includeAllSources

Type: Boolean

You can opt to include all sources files, as indicated by the coverage preprocessor, in your code coverage data, even if there are no tests covering them. (Default false)

coverageReporter: {
  type : 'text',
  dir : 'coverage/',
  file : 'coverage.txt',
  includeAllSources: true
}

multiple reporters

You can use multiple reporters, by providing array of options.

coverageReporter: {
  reporters:[
    {type: 'html', dir:'coverage/'},
    {type: 'teamcity'},
    {type: 'text-summary'}
  ],
}

instrumenter

Karma-coverage can infers the instrumenter regarding of the file extension. It is possible to override this behavior and point out an instrumenter for the files matching a specific pattern. To do so, you need to declare an object under with the keys represents the pattern to match, and the instrumenter to apply. The matching will be done using minimatch. If two patterns match, the last one will take the precedence.

For example you can use Ibrik (an Istanbul analog for CoffeeScript files) with:

coverageReporter: {
  instrumenters: { ibrik : require('ibrik') }
  instrumenter: {
    '**/*.coffee': 'ibrik'
  },
  // ...
}

You can pass options additional options to specific instrumenter with:

var to5Options = { experimental: true };

// [...]

coverageReporter: {
  instrumenters: { isparta : require('isparta') },
  instrumenter: {
    '**/*.js': 'isparta'
  },
  instrumenterOptions: {
    isparta: { to5 : to5Options }
  }
}
