Description

Implement comprehensive code coverage reporting for the simple-sync project using Codecov. This will provide visibility into test coverage, help maintain code quality, and enable coverage-based pull request checks.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Set up Codecov account and repository integration
  • Configure CI workflow to generate and upload coverage reports
  • Add coverage badges to README.md
  • Set up coverage thresholds and quality gates
  • Configure branch protection rules for coverage requirements
  • Enable coverage reporting for pull requests
  • Set up coverage trend monitoring and alerts

Technical Requirements

  • Use Codecov's GitHub Actions integration
  • Generate coverage reports using Go's built-in coverage tools
  • Support coverage for unit tests, contract tests, and future integration tests
  • Configure coverage exclusion for generated files, test files, and third-party code
  • Set up coverage targets (e.g., 80% overall coverage, no new code below 70%)
  • Enable coverage reporting for all active branches (main, develop, feature branches)

Implementation Steps

  1. Codecov Account Setup

    • Sign up for Codecov account
    • Connect GitHub repository
    • Generate repository upload token
  2. GitHub Secrets Configuration

    • Add CODECOV_TOKEN to repository secrets
    • Configure token permissions
  3. CI Workflow Updates

    • Add coverage generation to existing CI workflow
    • Configure coverage upload to Codecov
    • Set up coverage status checks
  4. Coverage Configuration

    • Create codecov.yml configuration file
    • Define coverage targets and thresholds
    • Configure file exclusions and inclusions
  5. README Integration

    • Add coverage badges showing current coverage percentage
    • Document coverage requirements for contributors
  6. Branch Protection

    • Configure required status checks for coverage
    • Set minimum coverage requirements for merges

Dependencies

  • Must be implemented after CI workflow is established
  • Requires GitHub repository admin access for secrets setup
  • Should be completed before implementing additional test suites

Definition of Done

  • Coverage reports generated on every CI run
  • Coverage badges visible in README
  • Pull request coverage comments working
  • Branch protection rules include coverage checks
  • Coverage dashboard shows historical trends
  • Team notified of coverage requirements

Files to Create/Modify

    • Add coverage steps
    • Coverage configuration
    • Add coverage badges
  • Repository Settings - Add CODECOV_TOKEN secret

Notes

  • Start with basic coverage setup, then enhance with advanced features
  • Consider using Codecov's free tier for open source projects
  • Coverage setup should not block development workflow
  • Document coverage expectations in contributing guidelines
