# Coverage
This module uses [nyc](http://npm.im/nyc) to track code coverage, even
across subprocess boundaries. It is included by default, and there's
nothing you need to do but enable it. Adding coverage *will* make
your tests run slightly slower, but that's to be expected.
Nyc in turn uses [istanbul](http://npm.im/istanbul) to do the actual
coverage code transformation and reporting.
To generate coverage information, run your tests with the `--cov`
argument.
If you use this a lot, you may want to add `coverage` and
`.nyc_output` to your `.gitignore` and/or `.npmignore` files.
## Maximal Coverage 💯
As of version 7, node-tap lets you easily enforce 100% coverage of all
lines, branches, functions, and statements with one easy flag, if
that's your thing:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"test": "tap test/*.js --100"
}
}
```
If you do this in an open source module, please [join the exclusive
100 club](/100/).
## Travis-CI and Coveralls.io Integration
You can very easily take advantage of continuous test coverage reports
by using [Travis-CI](https://travis-ci.org) and
[Coveralls](https://coveralls.io).
1. Enable Travis-CI by signing up, enabling tests on your repo, and
adding a `.travis.yml` file to your repo. You can use [this
module's .travis.yml file as an
example](https://github.com/tapjs/node-tap/blob/master/.travis.yml)
2. Enable Coveralls.io by signing up, and adding the
repo. Note the repo API token.
3. Back at Travis-CI, add a private environment variable. The name of
the environment variable is `COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN`, and the value
is the token you got from Coveralls.
4. When that token is set in the environment variable, `tap` will
automatically generate coverage information and send it to the
appropriate place.
## Uploading Coverage to Other Services
There's no requirement that you use Coveralls! Any coverage service
that understands `lcov` can be used as well.
For example, using [CodeCov](https://codecov.io), you can do the
following:
1. Add `codecov` as a devDependency in your project with this command:
npm install codecov --save-dev
2. Add a `test` script that generates coverage information, and a
`posttest` that uploads it to codecov:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "tap test/*.js --coverage",
"posttest": "tap --coverage-report=text-lcov && codecov"
}
}
## Local Coverage Reporting
Printing out a coverage report can be done along with tests, or after
any covered test run, using the `--coverage-report=<type>` argument.
The most popular types are `text` and `html`, but any report style
supported by istanbul is available, including:
- clover
- cobertura
- html
- json
- json-summary
- teamcity
- text
- text-lcov
- text-summary
To specify a report format, you can use `--coverage-report=<type>`.
The default type is `text`, which produces a pretty text-only table on
the terminal. If you specify `--coverage-report=html`, then tap will
attempt to launch a web browser to view the report after the test run.
You can prevent launching a browser by specifying the flag `--no-browser`.
