The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
The codecov npm package is a tool for uploading code coverage reports to Codecov, a service that provides hosted coverage reports with detailed insights and visualizations. It integrates with various CI/CD pipelines to automate the process of collecting and uploading coverage data.
Upload Coverage Reports
This feature allows you to upload your code coverage reports to Codecov. You need to provide your Codecov token and the path to the coverage report file.
const codecov = require('codecov');
codecov.upload({ token: 'your-codecov-token', file: 'path/to/coverage.xml' });
CI/CD Integration
This feature demonstrates how to integrate Codecov with your CI/CD pipeline. It uses environment variables to dynamically set the token, branch, and commit information.
const codecov = require('codecov');
codecov.upload({ token: process.env.CODECOV_TOKEN, file: 'coverage.xml', branch: process.env.CI_BRANCH, commit: process.env.CI_COMMIT });
Custom Flags
This feature allows you to add custom flags to your coverage reports. Flags can be used to differentiate between different types of tests or coverage reports.
const codecov = require('codecov');
codecov.upload({ token: 'your-codecov-token', file: 'coverage.xml', flags: 'unittests' });
Coveralls is another popular service for code coverage reporting. It provides similar functionalities to Codecov, such as uploading coverage reports and integrating with CI/CD pipelines. However, Coveralls has a different user interface and may offer different integrations and features.
NYC is a code coverage tool built on top of Istanbul. While it primarily focuses on generating coverage reports locally, it can be used in conjunction with services like Codecov or Coveralls to upload reports. NYC provides detailed coverage information and supports various reporting formats.
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework that includes built-in code coverage reporting. While Jest itself does not upload coverage reports to external services, it can generate coverage data that can be uploaded to Codecov or Coveralls using additional tools or scripts.
Codecov.io support for node.js.
Add the latest version of codecov
to your package.json:
npm install codecov --save
This script ( bin/codecov
) detect your CI provider and all coverage reports and uploads them to Codecov.
Once your app is instrumented for coverage, and building, simply call ./node_modules/.bin/codecov
.
This library currently supports the following CI companies: Travis CI, Travis, Appveyor, CircleCI, Codeship, Drone, Jenkins, Shippable, Semaphore, Wercker, Snap CI, Buildkite.
Repo tokens are not required for public repos tested on Travis-Org, CircleCI or AppVeyor.
Repo tokens are neccessary to distinquish your repository from others. You can find your repo token on your repository page at Codecov. Set this unique uuid to CODECOV_TOKEN
in your environment variables.
export CODECOV_TOKEN=":uuid-repo-token"
# or
./node_modules/.bin/codecov --token=:token
With Mocha:
istanbul cover ./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha -- -R spec
./node_modules/.bin/codecov
With Jasmine:
istanbul cover jasmine-node --captureExceptions spec/
./node_modules/.bin/codecov
With Tape:
istanbul cover test.js
./node_modules/.bin/codecov
Codecov does support partial line coverage. However, some node projects do not report partial coverage accurate enough.
You can decide to upload the partial coverage report by chaning the target upload file to ./coverage/coverage.json
.
View your report on Codecov, if the reports are not accurate then switch back to the lcov
provided above.
We are working on improving this implementation and appreciate your patience.
I generally don't accept pull requests that are untested, or break the build, because I'd like to keep the quality high (this is a coverage tool afterall!).
I also don't care for "soft-versioning" or "optimistic versioning" (dependencies that have ^, x, > in them, or anything other than numbers and dots). There have been too many problems with bad semantic versioning in dependencies, and I'd rather have a solid library than a bleeding edge one.
