HEEX template files not included in code coverage

Hi there!

Is there a way to include heex files in code coverage reporting? It appears that ~H sections within .ex files such as views and components are reported, but when the templates are in .html.heex files, they are not considered. This can lead to a situation where if statements exist within a template that is not fully exercised by tests, but 100% test coverage is “achieved”.

I also recognize that having many conditionals or branches in a template might be an anti-pattern, but sometimes it seems like a quick way to implement some functionality. Ideally, I could rely on code coverage metrics to ensure those branches are hit.

I’ve observed this behavior using the basic mix test --cover, as well as using ExCoveralls as the project’s test_coverage.tool, in case that helps!

I hope there’s just some configuration option that I’ve missed.

Thanks!

I have the same question today ; the use case is as follows: I detected small errors introduced while migrating our templates to HEEX, and wanted to verify which heex files were ran through one test.

I will try to figure this out, but if you already managed to achieve that, I’m interested!

Keeping the template code in a render function and checking to see if functional components gets called will give you some idea of coverage. This is useful for complicated template logic.

See the difference when no functional components are used in the code branching.
