LCOV Result Merger

When you have multiple test suites for the same application you still want to have the code coverage across all testsuites.

This tool will handle this for you.

Usage

./node_modules/.bin/lcov-result-merger 'FILE_PATTERN' ['OUTPUT_FILE']

Examples

Use stdout

1. Generate LCOV Code Coverage into different files, e.g. build/coverage/coverage_X.log
2. Run ./node_modules/.bin/lcov-result-merger 'build/coverage/coverage_*.log'
3. Use the stdout to pipe it to e.g. Coveralls
4. Done.

Use merged output file

1. Generate LCOV Code Coverage into different files, e.g. build/coverage/coverage_X.log
2. Run ./node_modules/.bin/lcov-result-merger 'build/coverage/coverage_*.log' 'target/coverage/coverage_merged.log'
3. Done. Enjoy your merged file.

Prepend source file paths

Modify source file paths to be relative to the working directory that the merge operation was run in. Useful in monorepos where each child package gathers its own metrics.

./node_modules/.bin/lcov-result-merger 'FILE_PATTERN' ['OUTPUT_FILE'] --prepend-source-files

Since coverage output is rarely written directly into the project root, use --prepend-path-fix to describe the relative path between the lcov file and the project root. The default simply points to one directory up, "..", which works well for common tools such as NYC that write to a /coverage directory.

./node_modules/.bin/lcov-result-merger 'FILE_PATTERN' ['OUTPUT_FILE'] --prepend-source-files --prepend-path-fix "../src"
