Both scripts are needed but only `pdf.js` needs to be included since `pdf.worker.js` will
be loaded by `pdf.js`. The PDF.js files are large and should be minified for production.
## Code coverage
We track how much of the code is exercised by the test suite on
[Codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/mozilla/pdf.js) (see the badge at the top of this
file).
### How it is collected
When coverage is enabled, the build instruments the bundled code with
[`babel-plugin-istanbul`](https://github.com/istanbuljs/babel-plugin-istanbul),
which adds counters that record every line, branch and function that runs:
+ For browser-based tests (unit, integration and reference tests) the
instrumented code runs in the browser, fills a global `window.__coverage__`
object, and the test runner collects it from each browser session, merges the
results, and writes the report.
+ For the Node-based unit tests (`unittestcli`) the raw data is written to
`build/tmp/unittestcli-coverage.json` and turned into a report afterwards.
### Collecting coverage locally
Add the `--coverage` flag to any of the test tasks, for example:
$ npx gulp unittest --coverage # browser unit tests
$ npx gulp unittestcli --coverage # Node unit tests
$ npx gulp integrationtest --coverage # Puppeteer integration tests
$ npx gulp botbrowsertest --coverage # reference tests
The following options control the output:
| Option | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--coverage` | Enable coverage collection. | off |
| `--coverage-output <dir>` | Directory where the report is written. | `build/coverage` |
| `--coverage-formats <list>` | Comma-separated list of formats: `info`, `html`, `json`, `text`, `cobertura`, `clover`. | `info` |
| `--coverage-per-test` | Also build a per-test index (see below). | off |
By default the report is written to `build/coverage` in the `info` format, i.e.
an [LCOV](https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov) `lcov.info` file (the same
format that is uploaded to Codecov). Use `--coverage-formats html` to get a
browsable HTML report instead, or pass several formats at once, e.g.
`--coverage-formats info,html`.
### Finding which tests cover a given line
Run a browser test task with `--coverage-per-test` to build an index
(`per-test-index.json`) in the coverage directory, then query it to list the
tests that exercised a specific source line or function:
$ npx gulp botbrowsertest --coverage-per-test
$ npx gulp coverage_search --code="canvas.js::205"
$ npx gulp coverage_search --code="canvas.js::drawImageAtIntegerCoords"
### Continuous integration
On every push and pull request three GitHub Actions workflows collect coverage
and upload it to Codecov, each tagged with its own Codecov *flag* so the test
types can be told apart:
| Workflow | Task | Codecov flag |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `unit_tests.yml` | `unittest` | `unittest` |
| `integration_tests.yml` | `integrationtest` | `integrationtest` |
| `coverage_browser_tests.yml` | `botbrowsertest` | `browsertest` |
