Inclusions and Exclusions Jump to heading

By default coverage includes any of your code that exists on the local file system, and it's imports.

You can customize the inclusions and exclusions by using the --include and --exclude options.

You can expand the coverage to include files that are not on the local file system by using the --include option and customizing the regex pattern.

deno coverage --include="^file:|https:"

The default inclusion pattern should be sufficient for most use cases, but you can customize it to be more specific about which files are included in your coverage report.

Files that contain test.js, test.ts, test.jsx, or test.tsx in their name are excluded by default.

This is equivalent to:

deno coverage --exclude="test\.(js|mjs|ts|jsx|tsx)$"

This default setting prevents your test code from contributing to your coverage report. For a URL to match it must match the include pattern and not match the exclude pattern.

Output Formats Jump to heading

By default we support Deno's own coverage format - but you can also output coverage reports in the lcov format, or in html.

deno coverage --lcov --output=cov.lcov

This lcov file can be used with other tools that support the lcov format.

deno coverage --html

This will output a coverage report as a html file

Generate a coverage report from the default coverage profile in your workspace

deno test --coverage
