☔️ @pokujs/istanbul is a Poku plugin for Istanbul code coverage.

Tip

@pokujs/istanbul supports JSONC config files (.nycrc, etc.) out of the box, allowing comments in your configuration. You can also use JS and TS by setting the options directly in the plugin.

---

Quickstart

Install

npm i -D @pokujs/istanbul

Enable the Plugin

// poku.config.js
import { coverage } from '@pokujs/istanbul';
import { defineConfig } from 'poku';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [coverage()],
});

That's it! Run poku and a coverage summary will be printed after your test results.

Important

This plugin relies on Node.js' built-in NODE_V8_COVERAGE environment variable to collect coverage data and Istanbul libraries to generate reports. Bun and Deno do not support this mechanism, so coverage data will not be collected when running tests with these runtimes.

Options

coverage({
  // Config file (.nycrc, .nycrc.json, .nycrc.jsonc)
  config: '.nycrc', // default: auto-discover

  // Activation
  requireFlag: true, // default: false

  // Reporters
  reporter: ['text', 'lcov'], // default: ['text']

  // File selection
  include: ['src/**'], // default: [] (all files)
  exclude: ['**/*.test.ts'], // default: []

  // Include untested files
  all: true, // default: false
  src: ['src'], // default: [cwd]

  // Thresholds
  checkCoverage: true, // default: false
  lines: 80, // default: 0
  branches: 80, // default: 0
  functions: 80, // default: 0
  statements: 80, // default: 0
  perFile: false, // default: false

  // Output
  reportsDirectory: './coverage', // default: './coverage'
  tempDirectory: '.v8-coverage', // default: auto (temp dir)
  skipFull: false, // default: false
  clean: true, // default: true

  // Report coloring
  watermarks: {
    lines: [80, 95],
    functions: [80, 95],
    branches: [80, 95],
    statements: [80, 95],
  },
});

Examples

Basic text coverage

coverage({
  include: ['src/**'],
});

Generate HTML and LCOV reports

coverage({
  include: ['src/**'],
  reporter: ['text', 'html', 'lcov'],
});

Enforce coverage thresholds

Set a single threshold for all metrics at once by passing a number:

coverage({
  include: ['src/**'],
  checkCoverage: 100,
});

Or use true to set individual thresholds for each metric:

coverage({
  include: ['src/**'],
  checkCoverage: true,
  lines: 95,
  branches: 90,
  functions: 85,
  statements: 95,
});

Require --coverage flag

By default, coverage runs whenever the plugin is active. Use requireFlag to only collect coverage when --coverage is passed to the CLI, keeping watch mode, debugging, and filtered runs fast:

coverage({
  include: ['src/**'],
  requireFlag: true,
});

# No coverage (plugin is a no-op)
poku test/

# With coverage
poku --coverage test/

Using a config file

Reuse your existing .nycrc or any JSON/JSONC config file with comments:

// .nycrc
{
  // Only cover source files
  "include": ["src/**"],
  "reporter": ["text", "lcov"],
  "check-coverage": true,
  "lines": 90,
}

coverage({
  config: '.nycrc', // or false to disable auto-discovery
});

When no config is specified, the plugin automatically searches for .nycrc, .nycrc.json, or .nycrc.jsonc in the working directory.

You can also specify the config path via CLI:

poku --coverageConfig=.nycrc test/

Note

Priority order:

• For config file discovery: --coverageConfig (CLI) > config (plugin option) > auto-discovery
• For coverage options: plugin options > config file options

Using with @pokujs/multi-suite

Place the coverage plugin at the root level, before multiSuite:

import { coverage } from '@pokujs/istanbul';
import { multiSuite } from '@pokujs/multi-suite';
import { defineConfig } from 'poku';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    coverage({ include: ['src/**'] }),
    multiSuite([
      defineConfig({ include: ['test/unit'], concurrency: 8 }),
      defineConfig({ include: ['test/e2e'], sequential: true }),
    ]),
  ],
});

Since coverage sets NODE_V8_COVERAGE during setup, every test process across all sub-suites writes to the same temp directory — teardown then merges everything into a single report.

---

How It Works

• setup creates a temp directory and sets NODE_V8_COVERAGE — every test process spawned by Poku automatically writes V8 coverage data
• teardown converts V8 coverage to Istanbul format using source maps, generates reports via Istanbul reporters, optionally checks thresholds, then cleans up
• No modification to test commands or runner configuration needed
