Custom Reporter
{ reports: [ [path.resolve('./test/custom-istanbul-reporter.js'), { type: 'istanbul', file: 'custom-istanbul-coverage.text' }], [path.resolve('./test/custom-v8-reporter.js'), { type: 'v8', outputFile: 'custom-v8-coverage.json' }], [path.resolve('./test/custom-v8-reporter.mjs'), { type: 'both' }] ] }
- Istanbul custom reporter
 
example: ./test/custom-istanbul-reporter.js, see istanbul built-in reporters' implementation for reference.
- V8 custom reporter
 
example: ./test/custom-v8-reporter.js
 
const MCR = require('monocart-coverage-reports');
const coverageOptions = {
    outputDir: './coverage-reports',
    reports: [
        // build-in reports
        ['console-summary'],
        ['v8'],
        ['html', {
            subdir: 'istanbul'
        }],
        ['json', {
            file: 'my-json-file.json'
        }],
        'lcovonly',
        // custom reports
        // Specify reporter name with the NPM package
        ["custom-reporter-1"],
        ["custom-reporter-2", {
            type: "istanbul",
            key: "value"
        }],
        // Specify reporter name with local path
        ['/absolute/path/to/custom-reporter.js']
    ]
}
const mcr = MCR(coverageOptions);If the V8 data format is used for Istanbul reports, it will be automatically converted from V8 to Istanbul.

Possible solutions:
- 
NODE_V8_COVERAGE=
dir- Sets Node.js env 
NODE_V8_COVERAGE=dirbefore the program running, the coverage data will be saved to thedirafter the program exits gracefully. - Read the JSON file(s) from the 
dirand generate coverage report. - Example:
 
cross-env NODE_V8_COVERAGE=
.temp/v8-coverage-envnode ./test/test-node-env.js && node ./test/generate-report.js - Sets Node.js env 
 - 
V8 API + NODE_V8_COVERAGE
- Writing the coverage started by NODE_V8_COVERAGE to disk on demand with 
v8.takeCoverage(), it does not require waiting until the program exits gracefully. - Example:
 
cross-env NODE_V8_COVERAGE=
.temp/v8-coverage-apinode ./test/test-node-api.js - Writing the coverage started by NODE_V8_COVERAGE to disk on demand with 
 - 
Inspector API
- Connecting to the V8 inspector and enable V8 coverage.
 - Taking coverage data and adding it to the report.
 - Example:
 
- vm Example (scriptOffset):

CDP API
- Enabling Node Debugging.
 - Collecting coverage data with CDP API.
 - Example:
 
node --inspect=9229 ./test/test-node-cdp.js
 - 
Node Debugging + CDP + NODE_V8_COVERAGE + V8 API
- When the program starts a server, it will not exit on its own, thus requiring a manual invocation of the 
v8.takeCoverage()interface to manually collect coverage data. Remote invocation of thev8.takeCoverage()interface can be accomplished through theRuntime.evaluateof the CDP. - Example for koa web server:
 
 - When the program starts a server, it will not exit on its own, thus requiring a manual invocation of the

When V8 coverage data collected, it actually contains the data of all entry files, for example:
- dist/main.js
 - dist/vendor.js
 - dist/something-else.js
 
We can use entryFilter to filter the entry files. For example, we should remove vendor.js and something-else.js if they are not in our coverage scope.
- dist/main.js
 
When inline or linked sourcemap exists to the entry file, the source files will be extracted from the sourcemap for the entry file, and the entry file will be removed if logging is not debug.
- src/index.js
 - src/components/app.js
 - node_modules/dependency/dist/dependency.js
 
We can use sourceFilter to filter the source files. For example, we should remove dependency.js if it is not in our coverage scope.
- src/index.js
 - src/components/app.js
 
For example:
const coverageOptions = {
    entryFilter: (entry) => entry.url.indexOf("main.js") !== -1,
    sourceFilter: (sourcePath) => sourcePath.search(/src\//) !== -1
};Or using minimatch pattern:
const coverageOptions = {
    entryFilter: "**/main.js",
    sourceFilter: "**/src/**"
};Support multiple patterns:
const coverageOptions = {
    entryFilter: {
        '**/node_modules/**': false,
        '**/vendor.js': false,
        '**/src/**': true
    },
    sourceFilter: {
        '**/node_modules/**': false,
        '**/**': true
    }
};As CLI args (JSON-like string. Added in: v2.8):
mcr --sourceFilter "{'**/node_modules/**':false,'**/**':true}"Note, those patterns will be transformed to a function, and the order of the patterns will impact the results:
const coverageOptions = {
    entryFilter: (entry) => {
        if (minimatch(entry.url, '**/node_modules/**')) { return false; }
        if (minimatch(entry.url, '**/vendor.js')) { return false; }
        if (minimatch(entry.url, '**/src/**')) { return true; }
        return false; // else unmatched
    }
};If you don't want to define both entryFilter and sourceFilter, you can use filter instead. (Added in: v2.8)
const coverageOptions = {
    // combined patterns
    filter: {
        '**/node_modules/**': false,
        '**/vendor.js': false,
        '**/src/**': true
        '**/**': true
    }
};If the source file comes from the sourcemap, then its path is a virtual path. Using the sourcePath option to resolve a custom path.
For example, we have tested multiple dist files, which contain some common files. We hope to merge the coverage of the same files, so we need to unify the sourcePath in order to be able to merge the coverage data.
const coverageOptions = {
    sourcePath: (filePath) => {
        // Remove the virtual prefix
        const list = ['my-dist-file1/', 'my-dist-file2/'];
        for (const str of list) {
            if (filePath.startsWith(str)) {
                return filePath.slice(str.length);
            }
        }
        return filePath;
    }
};It also supports simple key/value replacement:
const coverageOptions = {
    sourcePath: {
        'my-dist-file1/': '', 
        'my-dist-file2/': ''
    }
};Normalize the full path of the file:
const path = require("path")
// MCR coverage options
const coverageOptions = {
    sourcePath: (filePath, info)=> {
        if (!filePath.includes('/') && info.distFile) {
            return `${path.dirname(info.distFile)}/${filePath}`;
        }
        return filePath;
    }
}By default the untested files will not be included in the coverage report, we can add empty coverage for untested files with option all, the untested files will show 0% coverage.
const coverageOptions = {
    all: './src',
    // or multiple dirs
    all: ['./src', './lib'],
};The untested files will apply to the sourceFilter. And it also supports additional filter (return the file type for js or css coverage):
const coverageOptions = {
    all: {
        dir: ['./src'],
        filter: {
            // exclude files
            '**/ignored-*.js': false,
            '**/*.html': false,
            // empty css coverage
            '**/*.scss': "css",
            '**/*': true
        }
    }
};We can also compile these untested files, such as .ts, .jsx, or .vue, etc., so that they can be analyzed by the default AST parser, thus get more coverage metric data.
const path = require("path");
const swc = require("@swc/core");
const coverageOptions = {
    all: {
        dir: ['./src'],
        transformer: async (entry) => {
            const { code, map } = await swc.transform(entry.source, {
                filename: path.basename(entry.url),
                sourceMaps: true,
                isModule: true,
                jsc: {
                    parser: {
                        syntax: "typescript",
                        jsx: true
                    },
                    transform: {}
                }
            });
            entry.source = code;
            entry.sourceMap = JSON.parse(map);
        }
    }
};For example, checking thresholds:
const EC = require('eight-colors');
const coverageOptions = {
    name: 'My Coverage Report',
    outputDir: './coverage-reports',
    onEnd: (coverageResults) => {
        const thresholds = {
            bytes: 80,
            lines: 60
        };
        console.log('check thresholds ...', thresholds);
        const errors = [];
        const { summary } = coverageResults;
        Object.keys(thresholds).forEach((k) => {
            const pct = summary[k].pct;
            if (pct < thresholds[k]) {
                errors.push(`Coverage threshold for ${k} (${pct} %) not met: ${thresholds[k]} %`);
            }
        });
        if (errors.length) {
            const errMsg = errors.join('\n');
            console.log(EC.red(errMsg));
            // throw new Error(errMsg);
            // process.exit(1);
        }
    }
}To ignore codes, use the special comment which starts with v8 ignore :
- Ignoring all until stop
 
/* v8 ignore start */
function uncovered() {
}
/* v8 ignore stop */- Ignoring the next line or next N lines
 
/* v8 ignore next */
const os = platform === 'wind32' ? 'Windows' : 'Other';
const os = platform === 'wind32' ? 'Windows' /* v8 ignore next */ : 'Other';
// v8 ignore next 3
if (platform === 'linux') {
    console.log('hello linux');
}- Compatible with c8 coverage or nodejs coverage syntax
 
/* c8 ignore start */
function uncovered() {
}
/* c8 ignore stop */
/* node:coverage disable */
function uncovered() {
}
/* node:coverage enable */The data will be added to
[outputDir]/.cache, After the generation of the report, this data will be removed unless debugging has been enabled or a raw report has been used, see Debug for Coverage and Sourcemap
- Main process, before the start of testing
 
const MCR = require('monocart-coverage-reports');
const coverageOptions = require('path-to/same-options.js');

The following usage scenarios may require merging coverage reports:
- When the code is executed in different environments, like Node.js 
server sideand browserclient side(Next.jsfor instance). Each environment may generate its own coverage report. Merging them can give a more comprehensive view of the test coverage. - When the code is subjected to different kinds of testing. For example, 
unit testswithJestmight cover certain parts of the code, whileend-to-end testswithPlaywrightmight cover other parts. Merging these different coverage reports can provide a holistic view of what code has been tested. - When tests are run on different machines or containers, each might produce its own coverage report. Merging these can give a complete picture of the test coverage across all machines or shards.
 
- The 
MCRwill automatically merge all the added coverage data when executinggenerate(). And it supports adding coverage data asynchronously across processes, see Multiprocessing Support - For 
Next.js, it can actually add coverage data including both server side and client side before executinggenerate(), see example nextjs-with-playwright - Using 
Codecov, a popular online code coverage service, which supports automatic merging of reports. Please use reportcodecov, it will generate report filecodecov.json. If multiplecodecov.jsonfiles are generated, upload all these files, they will be automatically merged. see Codecov and merging reports 
If the reports cannot be merged automatically, then here is how to manually merge the reports.
First, using the raw report to export the original coverage data to the specified directory.
- For example, we have 
rawcoverage data fromunit test, which is output to./coverage-reports/unit/raw. Unit test examples:Jest+ jest-monocart-coverageVitest+ vitest-monocart-coverage
 
const coverageOptions = {
    name: 'My Unit Test Coverage Report',
    outputDir: "./coverage-reports/unit",
    reports: [
        ['raw', {
            // relative path will be "./coverage-reports/unit/raw"
            // defaults to raw
            outputDir: "raw"
        }],
        ['v8'],
        ['console-details']
    ]
};- 
We also have
rawcoverage data frome2e test, which is output to./coverage-reports/e2e/raw. E2E test examples:Playwright+ monocart-reporter with coverage APIPlaywright+MCR, see playwright-coverage- see more Integration Examples
 
 - 
Then create a script
merge-coverage.jsto generate a merged report with optioninputDir. 
// merge-coverage.js
const fs = require('fs');
const { CoverageReport } = require('monocart-coverage-reports');
const inputDir = [
    './coverage-reports/unit/raw',
    './coverage-reports/e2e/raw'
];
const coverageOptions = {
    name: 'My Merged Coverage Report',
    inputDir,
    outputDir: './coverage-reports/merged',
    // filter for both unit and e2e
    entryFilter: {
        '**/node_modules/**': false,
        '**/*': true
    },
    sourceFilter: {

await new CoverageReport(coverageOptions).generate();- Running script 
node path/to/merge-coverage.jsafter all the tests are completed. All the command scripts are probably like following: 
{
    "scripts": {
        "test:unit": "jest",
        "test:e2e": "playwright test",
        "merge-coverage": "node path/to/merge-coverage.js",
        "test": "npm run test:unit && npm run test:e2e && npm run merge-coverage"
    }
}see example: merge-code-coverage
In most cases, it happens when the coverage of the generated code is converted to the coverage of the original code through a sourcemap. In other words, it's an issue with the sourcemap. Most of the time, we can solve this by setting minify to false in the configuration of build tools. Let's take a look at an example:
const a = tf ? 'true' : 'false';
               ^     ^  ^
              m1     p  m2In the generated code, there is a position p, and we need to find out its corresponding position in the original code. Unfortunately, there is no matched mapping for the position p. Instead, it has two adjacent upstream and downstream mappings m1 and m2, so, the original position of p that we are looking for, might not be able to be precisely located. Especially, the generated code is different from the original code, such as the code was minified, compressed or converted, it is difficult to find the exact original position without matched mapping.
- Further understanding of sourcemap, try Debug for Coverage and Sourcemap
 
How MCR Works:
- 1, Trying to fix the original position with string comparison and 
diff-sequences. However, for non-JS code, such as Vue template, JSX, etc., it might be hard to find a perfect solution. - 2, Finding all functions, statements and branches by parsing the source code AST. (There is a small issue is the V8 cannot provide effective branch coverage information for 
AssignmentPattern) 
It happens during the parsing of the source code into AST, if the source code is not in the standard ECMAScript. For example ts, jsx and so on. There is a option to fix it, which is to manually compile the source code for these files.
import * as fs from "fs";
import * as path from "path";
import { fileURLToPath } from "url";
import * as TsNode from 'ts-node';
const coverageOptions = {
    onEntry: async (entry) => {
        const filePath = fileURLToPath(entry.url)
        const originalSource = fs.readFileSync(filePath).toString("utf-8");
        const fileName = path.basename(filePath);
        const tn = TsNode.create({});
        const source = tn.compile(originalSource, fileName);
        entry.fake = false;
        entry.source = source;
    }
}When there are a lot of raw v8 coverage files to process, it may cause OOM. We can try the following Node.js options:
- run: npm run test:coverage
    env:
        NODE_OPTIONS: --max-old-space-size=8192Sometimes, the coverage is not what we expect. The next step is to figure out why, and we can easily find out the answer step by step through debugging.
- Start debugging for v8 report with option 
logging: 'debug' 
const coverageOptions = {
    logging: 'debug',
    reports: [
        ['v8'],
        ['console-details']
    ]
};When logging is debug, the raw report data will be preserved in [outputDir]/.cache or [outputDir]/raw if raw report is used. And the dist file will be preserved in the V8 list, and by opening the browser's devtool, it makes data verification visualization effortless.

- Generate additional source and sourcemap files to cache or raw dir
