solidity-coverage
is in development and its accuracy is unknown. If you find discrepancies between the coverage report and your suite's behavior, please open an issue.solidity-coverage
is Solcover
- Installs as a plugin
- Uses any ganache
- Just works. (Read the instructions)
- 0.7.0-beta release notes
- 0.6.x to 0.7.x upgrade guide.
$ npm install --save-dev solidity-coverage
Set a coverage
network in truffle-config.js (see Network Configuration) and then run:
$ npx solidity-coverage
- For pragma solidity >=0.4.22 <0.6.0 / Petersburg / Truffle v4 and v5
- Tests run more slowly while coverage is being generated.
- Your contracts will be double-compiled and a (long) delay between compilation and the beginning of test execution is possible if your contracts are large.
- Truffle should be globallly installed in your environment.. If you prefer running truffle as a local dependency, please see this section of the FAQ.
- If your suite uses native Solidity testing or accesses contracts via mocks stored in
tests/
(a la Zeppelin), coverage will trigger test errors because it can't control the way truffle compiles that folder. Mocks should be relocated to the rootcontracts
directory. More on why this is necessary at issue 146
By default, this tool connects to a coverage-enabled fork of ganache-cli called testrpc-sc on port 8555.
- it's a dependency - there's nothing extra to download.
- the solidity-coverage command launches it automatically in the background. (See this section of the FAQ if you need to launch it separately yourself)
In truffle-config.js
, add a coverage network following the example below.
Example
module.exports = {
networks: {
development: {
host: "localhost",
port: 8545,
network_id: "*"
},
coverage: {
host: "localhost",
network_id: "*",
port: 8555, // <-- If you change this, also set the port option in .solcover.js.
gas: 0xfffffffffff, // <-- Use this high gas value
gasPrice: 0x01 // <-- Use this low gas price
},
...etc...
}
};
Additional options can be specified in a .solcover.js
config file located in
the root directory of your project.
Example:
module.exports = {
port: 6545,
testrpcOptions: '-p 6545 -u 0x54fd80d6ae7584d8e9a19fe1df43f04e5282cc43',
testCommand: 'mocha --timeout 5000',
norpc: true,
dir: './secretDirectory',
copyPackages: ['openzeppelin-solidity'],
skipFiles: ['Routers/EtherRouter.sol']
};
Option | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
accounts | Number | 35 | Number of accounts to launch testrpc with. |
port | Number | 8555 | Port to run testrpc on / have truffle connect to |
norpc | Boolean | false | Prevent solidity-coverage from launching its own testrpc. Useful if you are managing a complex test suite with a shell script |
testCommand | String | truffle test |
Run an arbitrary test command. ex: mocha --timeout 5000 . NB: Also set the port option to whatever your tests require (probably 8545). |
testrpcOptions | String | --port 8555 |
options to append to a command line invocation of testrpc. NB: Using this overwrites the defaults so always specify a port in this string and in the port option |
copyNodeModules | Boolean | false | copyPackages instead node_modules into the coverage environment. May significantly increase the time for coverage to complete if enabled. Useful if your contracts import solidity files from an npm installed package (and your node_modules is small). |
copyPackages | Array | [] |
Copies specific node_modules packages into the coverage environment. May significantly reduce the time for coverage to complete compared to copyNodeModules . Useful if your contracts import solidity files from an npm installed package. |
skipFiles | Array | ['Migrations.sol'] |
Array of contracts or folders (with paths expressed relative to the contracts directory) that should be skipped when doing instrumentation. Migrations.sol is skipped by default, and does not need to be added to this configuration option if it is used. |
deepSkip | boolean | false | Use this if instrumentation hangs on large, skipped files (like Oraclize). It's faster. |
dir | String | . |
Solidity-coverage copies all the assets in your root directory (except node_modules ) to a special folder where it instruments the contracts and executes the tests. dir allows you to define a relative path from the root directory to those assets. Useful if your contracts & tests are within their own folder as part of a larger project. |
buildDirPath | String | /build/contracts |
Build directory path for compiled smart contracts |
Solutions to common problems people run into:
- Running out of gas
- Running out of memory (locally and in CI)
- Running out of time (in mocha)
- Running on windows
- Running testrpc-sc on its own
- Running truffle as a local dependency
- Integrating into CI
- Why are asserts and requires highlighted as branch points?
- metacoin (Istanbul HTML)
- openzeppelin-solidity (Coveralls)
