This PR captures the code coverage from our unit and integration tests. At the moment it simply pushes the result to Codacy, a platform that assists with improving code health. Right now the focus is just getting visibility but I want to experiment with alerts on PRs when a PR causes a drop in code coverage. To be clear: I'm not a dogmatist about this: I have no aspirations to get to 100% code coverage, and I don't consider lines-of-code-covered to be a perfect metric, but it is a pretty good heuristic for how extensive your tests are. The good news is that our coverage is actually pretty good which was a surprise to me! As a conflict of interest statement: I'm in Codacy's 'Pioneers' program which provides funding and mentorship, and part of the arrangement is to use Codacy's tooling on lazygit. This is something I'd have been happy to explore even without being part of the program, and just like with any other static analysis tool, we can tweak it to fit our use case and values. ## How we're capturing code coverage This deserves its own section. Basically when you build the lazygit binary you can specify that you want the binary to capture coverage information when it runs. Then, if you run the binary with a GOCOVERDIR env var, it will write coverage information to that directory before exiting. It's a similar story with unit tests except with those you just specify the directory inline via `-test.gocoverdir`. We run both unit tests and integration tests separately in CI, _and_ we run them parallel with different OS's and git versions. So I've got each step uploading the coverage files as an artefact, and then in a separate step we combine all the artefacts together and generate a combined coverage file, which we then upload to codacy (but in future we can do other things with it like warn in a PR if code coverage decreases too much). Another caveat is that when running integration tests, not only do we want to obtain code coverage from code executed by the test binary, we also want to obtain code coverage from code executed by the test runner. Otherwise, for each integration test you add, the setup code (which is run by the test runner, not the test binary) will be considered un-covered and for a large setup step it may appear that your PR _decreases_ coverage on net. Go doesn't easily let you exclude directories from coverage reports so it's better to just track the coverage from both the runner and the binary. The binary expects a GOCOVERDIR env var but the test runner expects a test.gocoverdir positional arg and if you pass the positional arg it will internally overwrite GOCOVERDIR to some random temp directory and if you then pass that to the test binary, it doesn't seem to actually write to it by the time the test finishes. So to get around that we're using LAZYGIT_GOCOVERDIR and then within the test runner we're mapping that to GOCOVERDIR before running the test binary. So they both end up writing to the same directory. Coverage data files are named to avoid conflicts, including something unique to the process, so we don't need to worry about name collisions between the test runner and the test binary's coverage files. We then merge the files together purely for the sake of having fewer artefacts to upload. ## Misc Initially I was able to have all the instances of '/tmp/code_coverage' confined to the ci.yml which was good because it was all in one place but now it's spread across ci.yml and scripts/run_integration_tests.sh and I don't feel great about that but can't think of a way to make it cleaner. I believe there's a use case for running scripts/run_integration_tests.sh outside of CI (so that you can run tests against older git versions locally) so I've made it that unless you pass the LAZYGIT_GOCOVERDIR env var to that script, it skips all the code coverage stuff. On a separate note: it seems that Go's coverage report is based on percentage of statements executed, whereas codacy cares more about lines of code executed, so codacy reports a higher percentage (e.g. 82%) than Go's own coverage report (74%).
