grunt-mocha-istanbul

grunt mocha istanbul task

Mocha reporter to generate coverage report of istanbul instrumented code, for grunt This doesn't force you to use PhantomJS, or instrument code for server or client-side.

Install

1. Install needed dependencies using: npm install grunt mocha istanbul --save-dev
2. Install this package using: npm install grunt-mocha-istanbul --save-dev
3. Call inside Gruntfile.js: grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mocha-istanbul')

Changes from 2.x

Peer dependencies for mocha and istanbul have been removed. You should npm install the following modules yourself:

• mocha
• istanbul (or a compatible module; see scriptPath usage below)

If using npm version < 3, you will need to install grunt as well.

Changes from 1.x

Since Istanbul has 2 versions (ES5 and ES6/harmony), it's up to you to install the desired version of Istanbul, it's now defined as a a peer dependency.

Introduced new task istanbul_check_coverage to enable coverage checking on more than one test run. See below for example.

Changes from 0.2.0

• mocha_istanbul_check was removed and became part of the options under the check object

Compatible tools

Although it's intended for use with Istanbul, you can freely use this task with other command line compatible tool, by changing the scriptPath option, such as:

• Ibrik
• Babel Istanbul
• Isparta

grunt.initConfig({
    mocha_istanbul: {
        target: {
            options: {
                scriptPath: require.resolve('coverage-tool/the/path/to/bin')
            }
        }
    }
});

Options

Most of the options that you pass to mocha is available in options:

module.exports = function(grunt){
    grunt.initConfig({
        mocha_istanbul: {
            coverage: {
                src: 'test', // a folder works nicely
                options: {
                    mask: '*.spec.js'
                }
            },
            coverageSpecial: {
                src: ['testSpecial/*/*.js', 'testUnique/*/*.js'], // specifying file patterns works as well
                options: {
                    coverageFolder: 'coverageSpecial',
                    mask: '*.spec.js',
                    mochaOptions: ['--harmony','--async-only'], // any extra options
                    istanbulOptions: ['--harmony','--handle-sigint']
                }
            },
            coveralls: {
                src: ['test', 'testSpecial', 'testUnique'], // multiple folders also works
                options: {
                    coverage:true, // this will make the grunt.event.on('coverage') event listener to be triggered
                    check: {
                        lines: 75,
                        statements: 75
                    },
                    root: './lib', // define where the cover task should consider the root of libraries that are covered by tests
                    reportFormats: ['cobertura','lcovonly']
                }
            }
        },
        istanbul_check_coverage: {
          default: {
            options: {
              coverageFolder: 'coverage*', // will check both coverage folders and merge the coverage results
              check: {
                lines: 80,
                statements: 80
              }
            }
          }
        }

    });

    grunt.event.on('coverage', function(lcovFileContents, done){
        // Check below on the section "The coverage event"
        done();
    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mocha-istanbul');

    grunt.registerTask('coveralls', ['mocha_istanbul:coveralls']);
    grunt.registerTask('coverage', ['mocha_istanbul:coverage']);
};

If there's a mocha.opts file inside the first src folder or file defined, it will warn if you are overwriting any options.

Coverage is written to coverage folder by default, in the same level as the Gruntfile.js

The check will fail the build if the thresholds are not met. It's a great possibility for CI-builds.

Options

Array options.require (default: [])

Boolean options.ui (default: false)

Array options.globals (default: [])

String options.reporter (default: false)

Number options.timeout (default: false)

Boolean options.slow (default: false)

String options.grep (default: false)

Boolean options.recursive (default: false)

Boolean options.noColors (default: false)

Mochas parameters, check [http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/#usage]

Array options.mochaOptions (default: false)

An array of strings, any additional mocha parameters, manually set. Eg.: ['--harmony']

Array options.istanbulOptions (default: false)

An array of strings, any additional istanbul parameters, manually set. Eg.: ['--harmony', '--handle-sigint']

String options.scriptPath (default: istanbulPath)

Allows to override the default istanbul path to use another coverage library, such as ibrik. Need to set the full path to the bin (script that accepts stdin arguments) and is compatible with cover.

Boolean options.coverage (default: false)

Setting this to true makes the task emit a grunt event coverage, that will contain the lcov data from the file, containing the following callback function(lcovcontent, done), and you must manually call done() when you are finished, else the grunt task will HANG, and won't allow any other tasks to finish. See more information below

Boolean options.dryRun (default: false)

Spits out the command line that would be called, just to make sure everything is alright

Array options.excludes (default: false)

Setting this exclude files from coverage report, check istanbul help cover. You may use glob matching in here.

String options.mask (default: false)

The mask for the tests to be ran. By default, mocha will execute the test folder and all test files. Will override any files specified in src and instead use the mask on those files' folders.

Boolean options.quiet (default: false)

Suppresses the output from Mocha and Istanbul

String options.coverageFolder (default: coverage)

Name of the output of the coverage folder

Array options.reportFormats (default: ['lcov'])

Name of report formats. You can specify more than one. If you intend to use the coverage option to true or do any checks, you must add: ['yourformat','lcovonly'], since it's needed for the lcov.info file to be created.

Supported formats:

    html - produces a bunch of HTML files with annotated source code
    lcovonly - produces an lcov.info file
    lcov - produces html + lcov files. This is the default format
    cobertura - produces a cobertura-coverage.xml file for easy Hudson integration
    text-summary - produces a compact text summary of coverage, typically to console
    text - produces a detailed text table with coverage for all files
    teamcity - produces service messages to report code coverage to TeamCity

String options.root (default: false)

The root path to look for files to instrument, defaults to .. Can help to exclude directories that are not part of the code whose coverage should be checked.

String options.print (default: false)

The type of report to print to console. Can be one of 'summary', 'detail', 'both', or 'none'. By default, Istanbul will print the 'summary' report.

Number options.check.statements (default: false)

Number of statements threshold to consider the coverage valid

Number options.check.lines (default: false)

Number of lines threshold to consider the coverage valid

Number options.check.branches (default: false)

Number of branches threshold to consider the coverage valid

Number options.check.functions (default: false)

Number of functions threshold to consider the coverage valid

The coverage event

When you set the option coverage to true, you'll receive the coverage/lcov.info file contents:

grunt.event.on('coverage', function(lcov, done){
    console.log(lcov);
    done(); // or done(false); in case of error
});

This is mainly useful so you can send it to, for example, coveralls (using coveralls):

grunt.event.on('coverage', function(lcov, done){
    require('coveralls').handleInput(lcov, function(err){
        if (err) {
            return done(err);
        }
        done();
    });
});

This way, Travis-CI can send the Istanbul generated LCOV directly to Coveralls.io website in this example, but you could create any transform for Jenkins, TeamCity, Hudson, etc.
