Usage of 'go tool cover':
Given a coverage profile produced by 'go test':
go test -coverprofile=c.out
Open a web browser displaying annotated source code:
go tool cover -html=c.out
Write out an HTML file instead of launching a web browser:
go tool cover -html=c.out -o coverage.html
Display coverage percentages to stdout for each function:
go tool cover -func=c.out
Finally, to generate modified source code with coverage annotations
for a package (what go test -cover does):
go tool cover -mode=set -var=CoverageVariableName \
-pkgcfg=<config> -outfilelist=<file> file1.go ... fileN.go
where -pkgcfg points to a file containing the package path,
package name, module path, and related info from "go build",
and -outfilelist points to a file containing the filenames
of the instrumented output files (one per input file).
See https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/internal/cov/covcmd#CoverPkgConfig for
more on the package config.
Flags:
-V print version and exit
-func string
output coverage profile information for each function
-html string
generate HTML representation of coverage profile
-mode string
coverage mode: set, count, atomic
-o string
file for output
-outfilelist string
file containing list of output files (one per line) if -pkgcfg is in use
-pkgcfg string
enable full-package instrumentation mode using params from specified config file
-var string
name of coverage variable to generate (default "GoCover")
Only one of -html, -func, or -mode may be set.
