How to measure code coverage in Golang?

问题:

Has anyone succeeded in generating code coverage for Go unit tests? I can't find a tool for that on the web.

回答1:

Note that Go 1.2 (Q4 2013, rc1 is available) will now display test coverage results:

One major new feature of go test is that it can now compute and, with help from a new, separately installed "go tool cover" program, display test coverage results.

The cover tool is part of the go.tools subrepository. It can be installed by running

$ go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/cover

The cover tool does two things.

• First, when "go test" is given the -cover flag, it is run automatically to rewrite the source for the package and insert instrumentation statements. The test is then compiled and run as usual, and basic coverage statistics are reported:

$ go test -coverprofile fmt
ok      fmt 0.060s  coverage: 91.4% of statements
$

Second, for more detailed reports, different flags to "go test" can create a coverage profile file, which the cover program, invoked with "go tool cover", can then analyze.

Frank Shearar mentions:

The latest versions of Go (2013/09/19) use:

go test -coverprofile <filename> <package name>

Details on how to generate and analyze coverage statistics can be found by running the commands

$ go help testflag
$ go tool cover -help

Ivan Black mentions in the comments:

go test -coverprofile cover.out and then
go tool cover -html=cover.out -o cover.html opens cover.html in browser

I don't even want to wait for the browser to open, so I defined this alias:

alias gc=grep -v -e " 1$" coverage.out

That I just type gc, and have a list of all the lines not yet covered (here: with a coverage.out line not ending with " 1").

Go comes with awesome tool for testing and coverage. Although all Go tools are well documented go tool cover -help I would suggest reading The cover story article on the official Go blog. It has plenty of examples and I strongly recommend it!

I have this function in my ~/.bash_profile. (you can just paste it in the terminal to give it a try).

cover () { 
    t="/tmp/go-cover.$$.tmp"
    go test -coverprofile=$t $@ && go tool cover -html=$t && unlink $t
}

Then just cd into a go project/package folder and type cover. This opens a visual tool in browser which shows you the tested and untested code for each file in the current package. Very useful command! I strongly recommend it for finding what is not 100% tested yet! The shown results are per file. From a drop down in top-left you can see results for all files.

With this command you can also check the coverage of any package for example:

cover fmt

The output in terminal from this command would be:

ok      fmt 0.031s  coverage: 91.9% of statements

In addition to that in your browser you will see this tool showing in red all lines of code which are not covered with tests:

It is also possible to just save the html coverage file instead of opening it in a browser. This is very useful in cases when your tests + coverage is run by CI tool like Jenkins. That way you can serve the coverage files from a central server and the whole team will be able to see the coverage results for each build.

It's right here, some docs here.

$ go tool
6a
6c
6g
6l
addr2line
api
cgo
cov
dist
ebnflint
fix
gotype
nm
objdump
pack
pprof
prof
vet
yacc
$ go tool cov -h
usage: cov [-lsv] [-g substring] [-m minlines] [6.out args...]
-g specifies pattern of interesting functions or files
go tool cov: exit status 1
$

I haven't used it, this is all I know.

If you like to see the uncovered lines by function directly in a terminal I rewrote the cover tool for this purpose. It's available at https://github.com/gregoryv/uncover.

Usage

go get -u github.com/gregoryv/uncover/...
go test -coverprofile /tmp/c.out
uncover /tmp/c.out

Inspired by the help menus and other answers to this question, just run:

f=cover.out; if [ -f $f ]; then rm $f; fi; go test -coverprofile $f && go tool cover -html $f

回答6:

In addition to the good answers above, I find these three lines to be the simplest way to get it (which includes all packages):

go test -v -coverprofile cover.out ./YOUR_CODE_FOLDER/...
go tool cover -html=cover.out -o cover.html
open cover.html

Note that in the HTML file you will find a dropdown button that will direct you to all files.

回答7:

Try to use gaia-docker/base-go-build Docker Image.

This is Docker image contains all you need in order to build and test coverage. Running test coverage inside a Docker container creates .cover folder with test coverage results of your project.

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":$PROJECT_PATH -w $PROJECT_PATH $BUILDER_IMAGE_NAME /go/script/coverage.sh

The test coverage script running on all projects' folders and generates, inside .cover folder junit and coverage reports for each folder, and a combine coverage report of all projects' tests.

Test Coverage for Golang

go get github.com/axw/gocov/gocov go get -u gopkg.in/matm/v1/gocov-html

Check It is Installed Correctly And you have access from your Terminal

Run the Test Case

If you run the test case it will Reder the .json File Based on the file you will get the Code Coverage Report in .html file

gocov test >your_Coverage_report.json

Once Your Test case is done Generate a Report in .html File using .json

gocov-html your_Coverage_report.json >your_Coverage_report.html

Alternate Method

Go Native Test coverage

go test -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -html=coverage.out

A quick and easy way is to use the coverage tool that comes with built-in go :

$ go test -coverprofile cp.out // Emits the coverage in one liner percentage wise

After you execute the above command, if you wish to visually see the code coverage (like covered statements and missed etc)

$ go tool cover -html=cp.out

Note : You need to execute the above commands in the folder where you wish to see coverage
