Add code coverage measurement for unit and integration tests - #989
Merged
Conversation
Uses Go's built-in coverage tooling (go test -cover -coverpkg=./... plus GOCOVERDIR, introduced in Go 1.20) rather than a third-party dependency or the older -coverprofile/gocovmerge combination. Multiple `go test` invocations -- root module unit tests, the lz4 submodule's unit tests, and any number of integration runs against different clusters/tags -- can all point at the same coverage data directory and accumulate into one combined report, which -coverprofile alone cannot do. Makefile: a COVER_ARGS variable is threaded through the existing test-unit/test-integration-cassandra/test-integration-scylla recipes (empty by default, so plain `make test-unit` etc. behave exactly as before). New *-coverage targets set it via a recursive `make` call into the same recipe, rather than duplicating CCM setup, version resolution and GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY handling. `coverage-report` merges the accumulated data and renders it. lz4 is a separate Go module (own go.mod), so a single `go tool covdata` invocation can't render both it and the root module together -- `go tool cover` resolves source files against the module rooted at the current directory, and a merged profile spanning two modules fails with "no required module provides package ...". coverage-report works around this with covdata's `-pkg` filter, generating and rendering each module's report separately from within its own directory. CI (.github/workflows/coverage.yml) runs this against a single Scylla LATEST configuration on every push/PR (unit coverage plus both integration tag variants: plain and ccm), posts the merged percentages to the job summary, and uploads the HTML/text reports as a build artifact -- surfaced this way instead of through a third-party service like Codecov, matching the choice already made for the Python driver's equivalent tooling.

…ation The coverage CI job failed: go test -cover pushed TestTokenAwareHostPolicy_TabletReplicasPresizeAllocRegression from 8 to 11 allocs/op, past its <=9 threshold. Coverage counters add bookkeeping of their own, so the guard's assertion about production allocation behavior isn't meaningful under instrumentation -- skip it via testing.CoverMode(), the same way frame_test.go already skips a race-detector-sensitive test based on its own environment check. The guard still runs and passes normally under plain `make test-unit`.
Flagged by both CodeQL and CodeRabbit: the workflow didn't set an explicit permissions block, so it inherited the repo's default GITHUB_TOKEN scope. Every step here only reads the checkout, runs local make targets, or uploads an artifact (which uses its own runtime token, not GITHUB_TOKEN) -- contents: read is sufficient.
go tool covdata percent lists ~40 packages with no rollup, so getting "the" coverage number for the repo meant computing it by hand. Print each module's total (go tool cover -func's own last line) right after its per-package listing.

Address review feedback from dkropachev: 1. test-integration-scylla/cassandra passed custom, test-binary-defined flags (-distribution, -cluster, ...) that `go test` itself doesn't recognize, with COVER_ARGS (-cover ... -args -test.gocoverdir=...) appended after the package pattern. Confirmed empirically: once `go test` hits the first flag it doesn't recognize, it stops parsing its own flags -- including the package pattern, which then silently defaults to "." -- so anything placed after that point, coverage flags included, is unreliable. Fixed by splitting COVER_ARGS into COVER_BUILD_ARGS (flags `go test` itself must recognize, placed before the package pattern) and COVER_RUNTIME_ARGS (everything for the test binary, placed after -args alongside the custom flags). Fixing that exposed a second issue: with the package pattern correctly parsed again, "./..." now reaches the several packages with unconditional (untagged) test files -- dialer, hostpolicy, some serialization/* packages -- which don't define these custom flags either and would fail outright. Since every integration-tagged test file lives in the root package, the package pattern is now "." (this package only) instead of "./...". Coverage attribution to other packages exercised transitively still works: -coverpkg=./... controls what gets instrumented, separately from what gets run. 2. internal/ccm -- the only package the "ccm" build tag selects anything in -- was being tested by reusing test-integration-scylla's command (TEST_INTEGRATION_TAGS="ccm gocql_debug" ...), which passes the same custom flags internal/ccm's tests don't define, and, combined with the bug above, was silently defaulting to the root package instead. Confirmed empirically (before this fix, `go test ... -distribution scylla ... ./internal/ccm/...` ran against "github.com/gocql/gocql", not internal/ccm), meaning the CCM integration coverage step never actually ran any CCM tests. New ccm-test-coverage target invokes ./internal/ccm directly, with none of the connection flags it was never able to use anyway. Merging this alongside the other coverage runs surfaced a third, unrelated issue: `go tool covdata` refuses to merge coverage recorded under different counter modes, and test-unit's -race implicitly forces "atomic" mode while the integration/ccm runs defaulted to "set" -- a "counter mode clash" once combined. Made -covermode=atomic explicit everywhere coverage is enabled, rather than relying on -race to provide it for only one of the three. 3. COVERAGE_DIR is now embedded in COVER_ARGS/COVER_RUNTIME_ARGS with an escaped quote around it, so a path containing spaces survives being re-expanded, unquoted, inside the target recipe's own `go test` line instead of being word-split by the shell. 4. pull_request.types now includes labeled/unlabeled, so removing the disable-coverage-tests label re-triggers a run instead of leaving coverage skipped until the next push or reopen. All four confirmed against the actual mechanism where possible without a live cluster: reproduced the package-pattern collapse directly (a custom flag before ./internal/murmur/... made go test run the root package instead), reproduced internal/ccm's tests actually running and reporting real coverage only after the fix, and reproduced +cleared the counter-mode-clash error from `go tool covdata` when merging.

A relative COVERAGE_DIR (e.g. COVERAGE_DIR=.cov) resolved differently per
package: go test runs each package's test binary with that package's own
directory as its working directory, and -C lz4 does the same for the lz4
module, so -test.gocoverdir=".cov" pointed at a directory that only existed
(if at all) relative to wherever the binary happened to run from. Confirmed
by reproducing the exact failure ("output directory \".cov\" inaccessible")
in both the lz4 module and ordinary subpackages, and confirming a clean run
after normalizing COVERAGE_DIR with $(abspath ...). `override` is required
since a command-line-set COVERAGE_DIR otherwise takes precedence over the
Makefile's own assignment.

What
Adds code coverage measurement, runnable both locally (via new
maketargets) and in CI, across the unit suite (root module + thelz4submodule) and the integration suite.Makefile: threads aCOVER_ARGSvariable (empty by default) through the existingtest-unit,test-integration-cassandra, andtest-integration-scyllarecipes, so plainmake test-unitetc. behave exactly as before. New targets —test-unit-coverage,test-integration-scylla-coverage,test-integration-cassandra-coverage— setCOVER_ARGSvia a recursivemakecall into the same recipe, rather than duplicating CCM setup/version resolution/GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARYhandling.coverage-reportmerges everything accumulated and renders it;clean-coverageremoves the generated files..github/workflows/coverage.yml: new CI job (ubuntu-latest) that runs unit coverage plus one integration configuration (ScyllaLATEST, both the plain andccmtag variants) against a live cluster, posts the merged percentages to the job summary, and uploads the HTML/text reports as a build artifact.CONTRIBUTING.md/.gitignore: docs and ignores for the new targets/artifacts.Why this approach
Uses Go's built-in coverage tooling —
go test -cover -coverpkg=./...combined withGOCOVERDIR(introduced in Go 1.20, see the Go blog post on integration test coverage) — rather than a third-party dependency or the older-coverprofile/gocovmergecombination. Multiplego testinvocations (root module unit tests,lz4's unit tests, and any number of integration runs against different clusters/tags) can all point at the same coverage data directory and accumulate into one combined report, which-coverprofilealone cannot do across separate process invocations.One real gotcha found while validating this locally:
lz4is a separate Go module (its owngo.mod), so a singlego tool covdatainvocation can't render both it and the root module together —go tool coverresolves source files against the module rooted at the current directory, and a merged profile spanning two modules fails withno required module provides package ....coverage-reportworks around this withcovdata's-pkgfilter, generating and rendering each module's report separately from within its own directory — confirmed working end-to-end locally (root module andlz4module reports both render correctly,-coverpkg=./...correctly attributes coverage exercised transitively through other packages' tests, e.g. severalserialization/*packages show far higher coverage in the merged report than any single package's own test run reports in isolation).Coverage results are surfaced via a GitHub Actions job summary + artifact rather than Codecov/another third-party service, matching the same choice already made for the Python driver's equivalent tooling, to avoid needing an external account or token for this first pass. No
fail_under-style gate yet — this establishes a baseline first.Testing
Verified end-to-end locally: ran
make test-unit-coverage(root module +lz4) andmake coverage-report, confirmed both per-module HTML/text reports render correctly with real, non-trivial coverage (root module ~74-75%,lz4~93%), and confirmed theCOVER_ARGS-threading leaves plainmake test-unit/test-integration-*byte-for-byte unchanged when unset. Did not run the integration-coverage targets locally (no local Cassandra/Scylla via CCM in this environment); that leg is exercised by the new CI job on this PR.Two root-module unit tests (
TestQueryMultinodeWithMetrics,TestSpeculativeExecution) failed locally withbind: can't assign requested addressfor127.0.0.2:9042— a macOS-only loopback-alias limitation unrelated to this change (Linux, where CI runs, doesn't need the alias).
