grunt-protractor-coverage

Instrument your code and gather coverage data from Protractor E2E tests

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

The underlying code is borrowed heavily from grunt-protractor-runner and most options are still intact.

npm install grunt-protractor-coverage --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-protractor-coverage');

The "protractor_coverage" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named protractor_coverage to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  protractor_coverage: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to do capture coverage of your protractor tests.

Measuring coverage from protractor tests does not work out of the box. To measure coverage Protractor coverage, all sources need to be instrumented using istanbul.

    instrument: {
        files: 'src/**/*.js',
        options: {
        lazy: true,
            basePath: "instrumented"
        }
    }

And the server running the code / app should use that instrumented code.

    connect: {
        options: {
            port: 9000,
            hostname: 'localhost'
        },
        runtime: {
            options: {
                middleware: function (connect) {
                    return [
                        lrSnippet,
                        mountFolder(connect, 'instrumented'),
                        mountFolder(connect, '.......')
                    ];
                }
            }
        }
    }

Next to that your test should be run.

    protractor_coverage: {
        options: {
            keepAlive: true,
            noColor: false,
            coverageDir: 'path/to/coverage/dir',
            args: {
                baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9000'
            }
        },
        local: {
            options: {
                configFile: 'path/to/protractor-local.conf.js'
            }
        },
        travis: {
            options: {
                configFile: 'path/to/protractor-travis.conf.js'
            }
        }
    }

After the tests have been run and the coverage has been measured and captured you want to create a report.

    makeReport: {
        src: 'path/to/coverage/dir/*.json',
        options: {
            type: 'lcov',
            dir: 'path/to/coverage/dir',
            print: 'detail'
        }
    }

Glue it all together!!

        },
        runtime: {
            options: {
                middleware: function (connect) {
                    return [
                        lrSnippet,
                        mountFolder(connect, 'instrumented'),
