It's almost always the case that you will be setting NODE_V8_COVERAGE
in the context of running a test suite, and that you'd probably like to er on the side of the variable propagating, even though it's pretty common in tests to selectively set env
, e.g., maybe your test is exercising a specific environment.

I'm sure it's quite common, but we should support both sides. perhaps checking if the property already exists (so you can set it to an empty string) would work.

neither the link nor the addition here explain what to do with the output coverage file. Generally people just use the inspector UI. does the output file even have a governed format? do we have to semver major when v8 changes the format?

Generally people just use the inspector UI
I would argue it's very rare for people writing command line tools and modules to interact with the inspector, as evidenced by the fact that nyc has over 31,000
dependents and continues to grow in popularity (getting downloaded over 400,000 times a week) despite native test coverage having been available for quite some time.
As the lead maintainer of nyc and Istanbul, I would love to move people away from using these libraries when writing Node.js applications, and towards V8's coverage -- but I think the burden of kicking off and interacting with an inspector session is a usability rough-edge that will prevent adoption.
do we have to semver major when v8 changes the format?
I think you're right that we should point users to a breakdown of what to expect in the output format -- @schuay can you recommend a better document to link to.
The output format is standardized in V8, and I don't expect that there will be major breaking changes to it (and if there are it will be very rare).

sorry I wasn't clear. I'm saying there need to be docs for the format available from the node docs, not that people should only use the inspector UI. the link you have doesn't give any docs on the format of the file.
On the semver-major front, I just want to make sure we're careful, if you think it's fine that's good enough for me.

let's let @schuay or someone else on V8's side chime in too (@TimothyGu?), I think your concern is valid and it would be good to have someone speak to how stable the API is on the Chromium side of things.

Sorry, I'm not too involved in the V8 development process… though it might be telling that the coverage API is already in the RC version of the devtools protocol without an Experimental flag on.

Great to see this 👍
The inspector protocol documentation here is the source of truth. In particular, takePreciseCoverage
will return an array of ScriptCoverage
objects.
I'm not sure what DevTools' policies on protocol changes are. You could try asking on their mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-chrome-developer-tools. For V8 coverage specifically, we currently don't have any changes in the output format planned that I'm aware of.

Generally we are very careful with changing CDP due to backwards compatibility concerns. Unless unavoidable, we will not change the coverage format. If that happens however, the CDP version would be bumped as well.

The second part of the condition is not possible to reach: either there is no inspector in which case the session is empty or the session will be set (if that would not be the case, the property access below would throw).
And should we not log an error here? I would be surprised if I pass in the environment variable but the coverage files are not generated.

I've added a warning, which I feel is a reasonable compromise; It would be miserable to be unable to run your test suite with coverage because executing code in a worker results in exceptions being thrown.
When we support workers in the future, perhaps we could switch to throwing an exception?

Do we want to also expose a way to use other coverage modes? This primarily has performance implications. E.g. callCount: false
would allow a function to be inlined after it has been covered. detailed: true
would not require coverage-related bytecode to be emitted.

I'd argue for simplicity, exposing only the most detailed mode, and making sure it is as fast as possible. callCount: true / detailed: true
should also allow inlining (it does require special bytecode emission though).

The session
check can not be reached due to either being set to a truthy value if the inspector is present, or not being set and the setup
function throws and the code does not continue. If the latter is the case, the writeCoverage
function is never called at all.
Therefore it's safe to remove this check as well.

Notable changes: * child_process: * `TypedArray` and `DataView` values are now accepted as input by `execFileSync` and `spawnSync`. #22409 * coverage: * Native V8 code coverage information can now be output to disk by setting the environment variable `NODE_V8_COVERAGE` to a directory. #22527 * deps: * The bundled npm was upgraded to version 6.4.1. #22591 * Changelogs: [6.3.0-next.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v6.3.0-next.0) [6.3.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v6.3.0) [6.4.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v6.4.0) [6.4.1](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v6.4.1) * fs: * The methods `fs.read`, `fs.readSync`, `fs.write`, `fs.writeSync`, `fs.writeFile` and `fs.writeFileSync` now all accept `TypedArray` and `DataView` objects. #22150 * A new boolean option, `withFileTypes`, can be passed to to `fs.readdir` and `fs.readdirSync`. If set to true, the methods return an array of directory entries. These are objects that can be used to determine the type of each entry and filter them based on that without calling `fs.stat`. #22020 * http2: * The `http2` module is no longer experimental. #22466 * os: * Added two new methods: `os.getPriority` and `os.setPriority`, allowing to manipulate the scheduling priority of processes. #22407 * process: * Added `process.allowedNodeEnvironmentFlags`. This object can be used to programmatically validate and list flags that are allowed in the `NODE_OPTIONS` environment variable. #19335 * src: * Deprecated option variables in public C++ API. #22515 * Refactored options parsing. #22392 * vm: * Added `vm.compileFunction`, a method to create new JavaScript functions from a source body, with options similar to those of the other `vm` methods. #21571 * Added new collaborators: * [lundibundi](https://github.com/lundibundi) - Denys Otrishko PR-URL: #22716
This pull request is again part of an ongoing initiative to improve the Node.js for those building developer tools (CC: @bengl, @boneskull).
What is this?
For some time now, V8 has exposed test coverage through the inspector protocol. This pull request makes it possible to have this information output to disk by setting the environment variable
NODE_V8_COVERAGE=./coverage-directory
.By moving this logic into Node.js itself, we're able to better hook
process.exit()
, signal-handling, andchild_process.spawn()
; this is awesome, because this behavior was previously facilitated by a handful of horrible hacks:Going forward a tool similar to nyc will simply be able to consume the raw V8 coverage information, and output Istanbul coverage reports.
Help with code review
@nodejs/v8-inspector I rely on some of the behavior that the inspector API is currently exhibiting, mainly that coverage is output in a single tick of the event loop:
It would be wonderful to have some folks double check my work.
I'm also looping in several folks who've been involved with Istanbul and nyc over the years.
