What this system is

ExCoveralls is an Elixir library that generates and exports code coverage reports in multiple formats, including HTML, JSON, XML, Cobertura, and LCOV. It provides a unified CLI interface via Mix tasks to integrate with various CI/CD platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Travis, CircleCI, and Semaphore. The system manages configuration for coverage thresholds, file exclusions, and stop words, ensuring consistent test coverage analysis across different environments.

Features

Add HTMLCov style reports

Introduces a new HTML coverage report template that renders a styled, interactive view of code coverage data. The new layout includes a fixed navigation menu with file links, a summary statistics section, and a detailed file-by-file breakdown of hits, misses, and source code. The report also supports filtering out fully covered files via the \filter\_full\_covered\ option.

Add new coverage report format tasks

The \mix coveralls\ command now supports generating coverage reports in multiple formats. Users can run \mix coveralls.json\, \mix coveralls.xml\, \mix coveralls.cobertura\, \mix coveralls.lcov\, and \mix coveralls.html\ to output test coverage data in JSON, XML, Cobertura XML, Lcov, and HTML formats respectively. These new subtasks allow for easier integration with various CI/CD platforms and reporting tools.

Architecture

Major architectural overhaul: new CI integrations, output formats, and configuration system

The library has been refactored into a modular structure with dedicated modules for each supported CI server (CircleCI, Drone CI, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Semaphore, Travis CI) and output formats (Cobertura, HTML, JSON, LCOV, XML). A new configuration system (ConfServer, Settings) manages options like stop words, skip files, and minimum coverage thresholds. The core logic for coverage analysis, stats calculation, and report generation has been reorganized into separate modules (Cover, Stats, Ignore, StopWords, etc.), improving maintainability and extensibility.

Behavioural changes

Added help documentation for all ExCoveralls mix tasks

A new utility module (lib/excoveralls/task/util.ex) was introduced to provide help messages for all ExCoveralls mix tasks. This includes usage instructions and available options for tasks such as coveralls.detail, coveralls.html, coveralls.cobertura, coveralls.travis, coveralls.github, coveralls.post, and coveralls.multiple. Users can now access detailed help information for each task, including specific flags like --output-dir, --umbrella, --verbose, --subdir, --rootdir, --flagname, --import-cover, --token, --name, --branch, --committer, --message, --sha, --build, and --parallel.

ExCoveralls module refactored with expanded output type support

The main ExCoveralls module has been refactored to support a wider variety of coverage report types and CI integrations. The module now explicitly handles Travis, GitHub, GitLab, CircleCI, Semaphore, and Drone CI integrations, as well as local, HTML, JSON, XML, Cobertura, and LCOV report generation. Additionally, the module now supports importing and exporting cover data files, and provides a unified entry point for Mix CLI interactions.

Test coverage

Added test coverage for CI integrations and report generators; Added tests for Mix tasks and path reader.

Dependencies

Upgrade Elixir requirement and modernize dependencies

The project now requires Elixir 1.11+, moving away from the older 0.10.3-dev version. Dependencies have been updated to modern versions, including Jason 1.1.1, Mock 0.3.6, and ExDoc, while removing the exprintf dependency. The package metadata, including description and license information, has also been added to the mix configuration.

How this codebase got here

This is the PUBLIC form of this artifact. Findings are listed in full, but the details of SECURITY findings — which rule fired, in which file, on which line, and how to fix it — are deliberately withheld, and any secret-scanner results are excluded entirely. Where detail is absent here it was REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION; it is not missing from the analysis. The complete artifact is available from the repository owner.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 23 September 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit e9776c9a59c3067774f9af5e116ef76dbf8af6ab — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.15 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-955b9cee9818.
