This UI5 Tooling Server Middleware offers code instrumentation powered by Istanbul. This makes it easy to enable client-side coverage determination.
You find this middleware in action in the OpenUI5 Sample App.
This middleware requires UI5 Tooling v3 and is meant for UI5 1.113 and above.
Note that this middleware is currently not compatible with TypeScript based projects, see TypeScript support #189.

Execute
ui5 serve
in the project root folder -
Open "http://localhost:8080/test/unit/unitTests.qunit.html?coverage" in a browser of your choice
cwd
[String]: Root folder. Defaults to "./"
of the project consuming the middleware.
excludePatterns
[Array]: Patterns to exclude from instrumenting. Defaults to []
.
report
[Object]: Settings for the reporter.
report.reporter
[Array]: The report type(s) that would be generated. A list of all the available reports could be found here. Defaults to ["html"]
.
report["report-dir"]
[String]: Where the reports would be generated. Relative to cwd
. Defaults to "./tmp/coverage-reports"
.
report.watermarks
[Object]: Coverage thresholds. See High and Low Watermarks for further details.
Defaults to:
{
statements: [50, 80],
functions: [50, 80],
branches: [50, 80],
lines: [50, 80]
}
instrument
[Object]: Settings for the instrumenter. A full set of properties could be seen here.
Defaults to:
{
produceSourceMap: true,
coverageGlobalScope: "window.top",
coverageGlobalScopeFunc: false
}
You can override watermarks
(since UI5 1.119.0) via data attributes in the script tag for qunit-coverage-istanbul.js
':
...
<script src="../../resources/sap/ui/qunit/qunit-coverage-istanbul.js"
data-sap-ui-cover-only="ui5/sample/"
data-sap-ui-cover-never="ui5/sample/test/"
+ data-sap-ui-cover-watermarks-statements="[90,95]"
+ data-sap-ui-cover-watermarks-functions="[90,95]"
+ data-sap-ui-cover-watermarks-branches="[90,95]"
+ data-sap-ui-cover-watermarks-lines="[90,95]"></script>

The middleware adds an HTTP endpoint to the development server. For more information about the endpoints, see the API document.
The custom middleware intercepts every .js
-file before it is sent to the client. The file is then instrumented on the fly, which includes the dynamic creation of a sourcemap
.
The instrumented code and the sourcemap
are subsequently delivered to the client instead of the original .js
-file.
The middleware is integrated into OpenUI5 out of the box, but you are not limited by this. With the configuration and the public API, you can set up the middleware to suit your projects' needs.
The qunit-coverage-istanbul.js
(part of sap.ui.core
library) file requests the instrumented source files by the middleware. While the tests are running, qunit-coverage-istanbul.js
takes care of collecting and storing the coverage records into the window.__coverage__
global variable. After the tests are executed, qunit-coverage-istanbul.js
sends this data to the middleware, which then generates the code coverage report. Afterwards, the code coverage is displayed on the test page.
