Bun Test Coverage

Bun has built-in code coverage reporting without additional dependencies.

Enabling Coverage

# Enable coverage
bun test --coverage

# With threshold (fail if below)
bun test --coverage --coverage-threshold 80

Configuration in bunfig.toml

[test]
coverage = true
coverageThreshold = 0.8  # 80% minimum
coverageDir = "./coverage"

# Patterns to ignore
coverageSkipTestFiles = true

Coverage Output

------------------|---------|---------|-------------------
File              | % Funcs | % Lines | Uncovered Line #s
------------------|---------|---------|-------------------
All files         |   85.71 |   89.23 |
 src/index.ts     |  100.00 |  100.00 |
 src/utils.ts     |   75.00 |   82.35 | 23-25, 41-43
 src/api.ts       |   80.00 |   85.00 | 67, 89-92
------------------|---------|---------|-------------------

Coverage Reporters

# Default console output
bun test --coverage

# Generate lcov report
bun test --coverage --coverage-reporter=lcov

# Multiple reporters
bun test --coverage --coverage-reporter=text --coverage-reporter=lcov

Available Reporters

Reporter	Output
text	Console table (default)
lcov	coverage/lcov.info for CI tools
json	coverage/coverage.json

Coverage Thresholds

Set minimum coverage requirements:

# Fail if coverage < 80%
bun test --coverage --coverage-threshold 80

# Per-metric thresholds in bunfig.toml

[test]
coverage = true
coverageThreshold = {
  lines = 80,
  functions = 75,
  branches = 70
}

Excluding Files

[test]
coverage = true

# Skip test files from coverage
coverageSkipTestFiles = true

# Patterns to exclude
coverageIgnore = [
  "**/*.test.ts",
  "**/fixtures/**",
  "**/mocks/**"
]

CI Integration

GitHub Actions

- name: Run tests with coverage
  run: bun test --coverage --coverage-reporter=lcov

- name: Upload coverage to Codecov
  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v5
  with:
    files: ./coverage/lcov.info

Output Directory

# Custom output directory
bun test --coverage --coverage-dir=./reports/coverage

Programmatic Coverage

import { test, expect } from "bun:test";

// Get coverage data programmatically
const coverage = Bun.coverage;

// Access after tests complete
process.on("exit", () => {
  console.log(coverage.getCoverageData());
});

Common Errors

Error	Cause	Fix
Coverage threshold not met	Coverage below threshold	Increase test coverage
No coverage data	Files not executed	Check test includes file
lcov not found	Missing reporter	Add --coverage-reporter=lcov

Best Practices

1. Set realistic thresholds - Start at 60%, increase gradually
2. Exclude generated files - Mock files, type definitions
3. Focus on critical paths - Business logic over boilerplate
4. Run in CI - Prevent coverage regression
