Viewing your test coverage in Elixir

Curious about test coverage in your Elixir application? Mix.Tasks.Test comes with a handy --cover option.

$ mix test --cover
...
Generating cover results ...

Percentage | Module
-----------|--------------------------
   ...
   100.00% | TilexWeb.PixelController
    75.00% | Mix.Tasks.Deploy
    30.00% | TilexWeb
   ...

    68.33% | Total

By default it uses a wrapper around OTPs built in cover, however that's configurable. If you wanted to use something like excoveralls you could:

def project() do
  [
    ...
    test_coverage: [tool: ExCoveralls]
    ...
  ]
end

Other niceties, like color based thresholds, can be found in the docs
