Coverlet is a cross platform code coverage framework for .NET, with support for line, branch and method coverage. It works with .NET Framework on Windows and .NET Core on all supported platforms.
Coverlet documentation reflect the current repository state of the features, not the released ones. Check the changelog to understand if the documented feature you want to use has been officially released.
Coverlet can be used through three different drivers
Coverlet supports only SDK-style projects https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/how-to-use-project-sdk?view=vs-2019
Installation (coverlet.collector)dotnet add package coverlet.collector
N.B. You MUST add package only to test projects and if you create xunit test projects (dotnet new xunit) you'll find the reference already present in csproj file because Coverlet is the default coverage tool for every .NET Core and >= .NET 6 applications, you've only to update to last version if needed. Do not add coverlet.collector and coverlet.msbuild package in a test project.
Coverlet is integrated into the Visual Studio Test Platform as a data collector. To get coverage simply run the following command:
dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"
After the above command is run, a coverage.cobertura.xml file containing the results will be published to the TestResults directory as an attachment.
See documentation for advanced usage.
Requirements (coverlet.collector)<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="17.5.0" />Installation (coverlet.msbuild)
dotnet add package coverlet.msbuild
N.B. Typically you MUST add package only to test projects. Do not add coverlet.msbuild and coverlet.collector package in a test project.
Coverlet also integrates with the build system to run code coverage after tests. Enabling code coverage is as simple as setting the CollectCoverage property to true
dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true
After the above command is run, a coverage.json file containing the results will be generated in the root directory of the test project. A summary of the results will also be displayed in the terminal.
See documentation for advanced usage.
Requirements (coverlet.msbuild)Requires a runtime that support .NET Standard 2.0 and above
Installation (coverlet.console)dotnet tool install --global coverlet.console
The coverlet tool is invoked by specifying the path to the assembly that contains the unit tests. You also need to specify the test runner and the arguments to pass to the test runner using the --target and --targetargs options respectively. The invocation of the test runner with the supplied arguments must not involve a recompilation of the unit test assembly or no coverage result will be generated.
The following example shows how to use the familiar dotnet test toolchain:
coverlet /path/to/test-assembly.dll --target "dotnet" --targetargs "test /path/to/test-project --no-build"
Note: The --no-build flag is specified so that the /path/to/test-assembly.dll assembly isn't rebuilt
See documentation for advanced usage.
Requirements (coverlet.console).NET global tools rely on a .NET Core runtime installed on your machine https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-tools#what-could-go-wrong
.NET Coverlet global tool requires .NET Core 2.2 and above
Coverlet generates code coverage information by going through the following process:
Coverlet supports coverage for deterministic builds. The solution at the moment is not optimal and need a workaround. Take a look at documentation.
Are you in trouble with some feature? Check on examples!Unfortunately we have some known issues, check it here
If you're using Cake Build for your build script you can use the Cake.Coverlet add-in to provide you extensions to dotnet test for passing Coverlet arguments in a strongly typed manner.
If you want to visualize coverlet output inside Visual Studio while you code, you can use the following addins depending on your platform.
If you're using Visual Studio on Windows, you can use the Fine Code Coverage extension. Visualization is updated when you run unit tests inside Visual Studio.
If you're using Visual Studio for Mac, you can use the VSMac-CodeCoverage extension.
We offer nightly build of master for all packages. See the documentation
