Merge coverage for Sonarqube with istabuljs/nyc

I have a typescript project that goes through a Jenkins pipeline and does all the functional tests in parallel (after building the main container). At the end of the pipeline - we create code coverage check and then ship the result out to sonarqube.

here is my package.json:

"test": "npm run test:unit && npm run test:component && npm run test:functional",
"test:component": "mocha --reporter mocha-sonarqube-reporter --reporter-options output=tests/coverage/component/test-xcomponent.xml --recursive -r ts-node/register tests/component/*.ts",
"test:functional": "mocha --reporter mocha-sonarqube-reporter --reporter-options output=tests/coverage/functional/test-xfunctional.xml --recursive -r ts-node/register tests/functional/*.ts",
"test:unit": "mocha --reporter mocha-sonarqube-reporter --reporter-options output=tests/coverage/unit/test-xunit.xml --recursive -r ts-node/register tests/unit/*.ts",
"test:unit:nosq": "mocha --recursive -r ts-node/register tests/unit/*.ts",
"lint": "tslint -t verbose --project tsconfig.json -c tslint.json",
"cover": "nyc --report-dir tests/coverage/all npm run test",
"cover:unit": "nyc --report-dir tests/coverage/unit npm run test:unit",
"cover:functional": "nyc --report-dir tests/coverage/functional -x 'app/repositories' -x 'app/entities' -x 'app/utils' --no-clean npm run test:functional"

my sonar-project.properties is like the following:

sonar.exclusions=**/node_modules/**,**/*.spec.ts,app/entities/**,dependency-check-report/*,tests/coverage/**/*
sonar.tests=tests
sonar.test.inclusions=tests/**/*
sonar.ts.tslintconfigpath=tslint.json
sonar.typescript.lcov.reportPaths=tests/coverage/all/lcov.info

I have two problems with this setup:

  • I cannot seem to find a way to merge the different coverage files. I have checked the official istanbuljs/nyc GitHub and it states that it can combine via nyc merge command however the output is .json and sonarqube requires xml. I am stuck with half my code coverage since I'm only shipping out one file out and not the combine file.

  • I currently have code smell errors from the tests/coverage/all folder as it considered missing fonts from the generated coverage is being missing. I have excluded that folder in the sonar-project.properties file and I've included it in the .gitignore too but sonarqube is still reporting it as code small.

SonarQube does not require XML files for JavaScript coverage, it requires the report to be in lcov format. Please see SonarQube's documentation: JavaScript Coverage Results Import.

In order to generate this lcov report, you can do the following:

  1. Put all of your JSON coverage data (what the browser/harness writes the __coverage__ global to) in a directory, the default is .nyc_output
  2. Run the command nyc report --reporter=lcov --report-dir=.nyc_coverage
  3. This tells nyc that you want to generate a report using all the files in the directory specified by --report-dir (.nyc_coverage in this case) and that you want the report in the format specified by --reporter (lcov in this case)
  4. nyc will create a folder (.nyc_output by default) and write the lcov file there

If you would like, you can also add extra reporters for sanity. I usually add --reporter=text so that it will print out the coverage as well.

So your final command might be:

nyc report \
  --reporter=lcov \
  --reporter=text \
  --report-dir=.nyc_coverage

The = are optional and the command arguments can precede the sub-command, so you can also run the command that you noted:

nyc --reporter lcov --reporter text --report-dir .nyc_coverage report

Additionally, you tell SonarQube where the report is by specifying it on command line:

sonar-scanner \
  -Dsonar.projectKey=whatever \
  -Dsonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=coverage/lcov.info

Or you can set it in the project settings:

Project -> Administration -> JavaScript -> Tests and Coverage -> LCOV Files
