remap-istanbul

A package that provides the ability to remap Istanbul code coverage information to its original source positions based on a JavaScript Source Maps v3.

remap-istanbul requires NodeJS 6 or later.

How to get Help

This is covered in depth in the CONTRIBUTING.md document in the repo.

Usage

For information on how to use remap-istanbul with common testing frameworks, please visit the wiki.

There are three main modules that constitute the remap-istanbul package:

lib/loadCoverage - does the basic loading of a Istanbul JSON coverage files. It can "merge" several coverage files, for example if you are collecting remote coverage from other environments and combining it together.
lib/remap - does the remapping of the coverage information. It iterates through all the files in the coverage information and looks for JavaScript Source Maps which it will then use to remap the coverage information to the original source.
lib/writeReport - a wrapper for the Istanbul report writers to output the any final coverage reports.

Command Line

The package includes a command line interface which should be placed into the ./node_modules/.bin/remap-istanbul when the package is installed. The command line interface understands the following argument flags:

Flag	Description
`-i` or `--input`	The path to the coverage input file. For example `remap-istanbul --input coverage.json`. If omitted, input will be taken from stdin.
`-o` or `--output`	The path to the remapped coverage output file. For example `remap-istanbul --output coverage-final.json`. If omitted, `json` output will be sent to stdout.
`-t` or `--type`	The type of report the output should be. For example `remap-istanbul --output html-report --type html`. If omitted, output defaults to `json`.
`-b` or `--basePath`	When remapping the source files, instead of using the path in the source map, substitute this path.
`-e` or `--exclude`	Pass in a comma seperated string of patterns (exact strings or regexps) to exclude from the output. For example `remap-istanbul --output coverage-final.json --exclude node_modules,tests`

An example of piping a coverage file to the CLI and writing it out to a file:

$ cat coverage-final.json | ./node_modules/.bin/remap-istanbul -o coverage-remapped.json

An example of generating an HTML report off of remapped coverage:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/remap-istanbul -i coverage-final.json -o html-report -t html

An example of taking the stdin and writing the stdout in the CLI:

$ cat coverage-final.json | ./node_modules/.bin/remap-istanbul > coverage-remap.json

Basic JavaScript

The main CommonJS module provided combines the modules above into a single API which basic usage can look like this:

var remapIstanbul = require('remap-istanbul');
remapIstanbul('coverage-final.json', {
	'json': 'coverage-final.json'
});

This would take the coverage file provided. The function accepts the following arguments:

Argument	Type	Description
sources	Array, string	Either an array of strings or a string the represent the JSON Istanbul files to be remapped
reports	Object	A hash of reports, where the keys are the Istanbul report types and the values are the destination for the report. To send output to the console use the destination null.
returns	Promise	A promise that is resolved when all the reports are written

AMD

The main modules are provided in AMD for usage (although they utilize amdefine to allow transparent loading by a CommonJS loader such as NodeJS's require - see blow).

`lib/loadCoverage`

The lib/loadCoverage module would be used something like this:

require([ 'remap-istanbul/lib/loadCoverage' ], function (loadCoverage) {
	var coverage = loadCoverage('coverage-final.json');
	/* or if you have multiple files you want to merge */
	coverage = loadCoverage([ 'coverage-ie.json', 'coverage-chrome.json', 'coverage-firefox.json' ]);
});

The argument signature for loadCoverage is:

Argument	Type	Description
coverage	Array/string	Either an array of strings or a string representing the file path to the coverage file(s).
options	Object?	An object that allows providing alternative methods, mainly used for integration with other systems (e.g. Grunt)
returns	Object	A coverage object that is ready to be remapped

The options argument can take the following optional properties:

Property	Type	Default	Description
readJSON	Function	`JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync)`	A function that will synchronously read a file and return a POJO based on the JSON data in the file
warn	Function	`console.warn`	A function that logs warning messages

`lib/remap`

Usage of the lib/remap module would look something like this:

require([
	'remap-istanbul/lib/loadCoverage',
	'remap-istanbul/lib/remap'
], function (loadCoverage, remap) {
	var coverage = loadCoverage('coverage-final.json');
	var collector = remap(coverage); /* collector now contains the remapped coverage */
});

If the source map no longer points properly at the source files, you can utilize the basePath option to override the path retrieved from the source map:

require([
	'remap-istanbul/lib/loadCoverage',
	'remap-istanbul/lib/remap'
], function (loadCoverage, remap) {
	var coverage = loadCoverage('coverage-final.json');
	var collector = remap(coverage, {
		basePath: 'some/other/path/to/sources'
	});
});

The argument signature for remap is:

Argument	Type	Description
coverage	Array/Object	Either an array of coverage objects or a single coverage object.
options	Object?	An object that allows providing alternative methods, mainly used for integration with other systems (e.g. Grunt)
returns	istanbul/lib/collector	An Istanbul coverage collector that is ready to be output

The argument of options can contain the following properties:

Property	Type	Default	Description
basePath	String	Path found in source map	A string to use as the base path for the source locations
exclude	String/RegEx/Function	`undefined`	If the filename of the source coverage file matches the String or RegEx, it will be skipped while mapping the coverage. Optionally, you can use a function that accepts the filename as the argument, and returns true if the file should be skipped.
mapFileName	Function	A function that takes a single string argument that is the remapped file name and returns a string which represents the filename that should be in the mapped coverage.
readFile	Function	`fs.readFileSync`	A function that will synchronously read a file
readJSON	Function	`JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync)`	A function that will synchronously read a file and return a POJO based on the JSON data in the file
warn	Function	`console.warn`	A function that logs warning messages

`lib/writeReport`

The lib/writeReport module would be used something like this:

require([
	'remap-istanbul/lib/loadCoverage',
	'remap-istanbul/lib/remap',
	'remap-istanbul/lib/writeReport'
], function (loadCoverage, remap, writeReport) {
	var collector = remap(loadCoverage('coverage-final.json'));
	writeReport(collector, 'json', 'coverage-final.json').then(function () {
		/* do something else now */
	});
});

The writeReport function can take the following arguments:

Argument	Type	Description
collector	istanbul/lib/collector	This is an Istanbul coverage collector (usually returned from `remap` which is to be written out in a report)
reportType	string	The type of the report. Valid values are: `clover`, `cobertura`, `html`, `json-summary`, `json`, `file`, `lcovonly`, `teamcity`, `text-lcov`, `text-summary` or `text`
reportOptions	object	Options object of key/value pairs to pass to the reporter
dest	string, Function	The destination file, directory or console logging function that is the destination of the report. Only `text-lcov` takes the logging function and will default to `console.log` if no value is passed.
returns	Promise	A promise that is resolved when the report is written.

CommonJS

If you are not using an AMD loader, that is not a problem for consuming the modules. They also can be loaded in a CommonJS environment:

var loadCoverage = require('remap-istanbul/lib/loadCoverage');
var remap = require('remap-istanbul/lib/remap');
var writeReport = require('remap-istanbul/lib/writeReport');

Grunt Task

You can utilize this package as a Grunt task. After installing it as a package, you need to add the following to your Gruntfile.js:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('remap-istanbul');

The task is a multi-target task and a basic configuration for the task would look something like this:

grunt.initConfig({
	remapIstanbul: {
		build: {
			src: 'coverage-final.json',
			options: {
				reports: {
					'lcovhtml': 'html-report',
					'json': 'coverage-final.json'
				}
			}
		}
	}
});

This would take in coverage-final.json, remap it and then output the Istanbul HTML report to html-report and overwrite the original coverage-final.json.

The task also recognizes an abbreviated version of configuration:

grunt.initConfig({
	remapIstanbul: {
		build: {
			files: [ {
				src: 'coverage.json',
				dest: 'tmp/coverage.json',
				type: 'json'
			} ]
		}
	}
});

By default, the grunt task will log warnings/errors to the grunt.log.error. If instead you wish the grunt task to grunt.fail.warn which will require --force to ensure the task does not fail the whole build, you should supply the fail option in the task configuration:

grunt.initConfig({
	remapIstanbul: {
		build: {
			src: 'coverage-final.json',
			options: {
				fail: true
			}
		}
	}
});

Gulp Plugin

You can utilize this package as a gulp plugin. There are two main ways it can be used. Just taking a coverage file, remapping and outputting it would look like this:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var remapIstanbul = require('remap-istanbul/lib/gulpRemapIstanbul');

gulp.task('remap-istanbul', function () {
	return gulp.src('coverage-final.json')
		.pipe(remapIstanbul())
		.pipe(gulp.dest('coverage-remapped.json'));
});

Another way is to utilize the plugin is to have the plugin write out the Istanbul reports directly. This can be accomplished by passing a reports property in the options. For example, to have the JSON coverage report output in addition to the HTML coverage report, at task would look like this:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var remapIstanbul = require('remap-istanbul/lib/gulpRemapIstanbul');

gulp.task('remap-istanbul', function () {
	return gulp.src('coverage-final.json')
		.pipe(remapIstanbul({
			reports: {
				'json': 'coverage.json',
				'html': 'html-report'
			}
		}));
});

By default, errors in the gulp task will be considered non-fatal and will just be logged to the console. If you wish errors to be emitted and fail the task, you need to supply the task with fail being truthy:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var remapIstanbul = require('remap-istanbul/lib/gulpRemapIstanbul');

gulp.task('remap-istanbul', function () {
	return gulp.src('coverage-final.json')
		.pipe(remapIstanbul({
			fail: true
		}));
});

Intern Reporter

The package comes with an Intern reporter that makes it easy to output the coverage.json from a test run. The most common usage from the command line would be something like:

node_modules/.bin/intern-runner config=tests/intern reporters=Console reporters=node_modules/remap-istanbul/lib/intern-reporters/JsonCoverage

This will output a coverage-final.json in the root of your project, which you can use with the rest of remap-istanbul to remap it back to the source files.
