+# solidity-coverage
+
+Solidity code coverage plugin for [buidler](http://getbuidler.com).
+
+## What
+
+![coverage example][22]
+
++ For more details about how it works and potential limitations, see [the accompanying article][16].
++ `solidity-coverage` is also [JoinColony/solcover][17]
+
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+$ npm install --save-dev solidity-coverage@beta
+```
+
+And add the following to your `buidler.config.js`:
+
+```js
+usePlugin("solidity-coverage");
+```
+
+## Tasks
+
+This plugin implements a `coverage` task
+
+```bash
+npx buidler coverage [options]
+```
+
+| Option ![]()
| Example ![]()
| Description ![]()
|
+|--------------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
+| testfiles | `--testfiles test/file.js` | JS test file(s) to run.|
+| solcoverjs | `--solcoverjs ./../.solcover.js` | Relative path from working directory to config. Useful for monorepo packages that share settings. (Path must be "./" prefixed) |
+| network | `--network development` | Use network settings defined in the Buidler config |
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+Options can be specified in a `.solcover.js` config file located in the root directory of your project.
+
+**Project Examples:**
+
++ Simple: [buidler-metacoin][29]
++ More complex: [MolochDao/moloch][30]
+
+**Config Example:**
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+ skipFiles: ['Routers/EtherRouter.sol']
+};
+```
+
+| Option ![]()
| Type ![]()
| Default ![]()
| Description ![]()
|
+| ------ | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
+| silent | *Boolean* | false | Suppress logging output |
+| client | *Object* | `require("ganache-core")` | Useful if you need a specific ganache version. |
+| providerOptions | *Object* | `{ }` | [ganache-core options][1] |
+| skipFiles | *Array* | `['Migrations.sol']` | Array of contracts or folders (with paths expressed relative to the `contracts` directory) that should be skipped when doing instrumentation. |
+| istanbulFolder | *String* | `./coverage` | Folder location for Istanbul coverage reports. |
+| istanbulReporter | *Array* | `['html', 'lcov', 'text', 'json']` | [Istanbul coverage reporters][2] |
+| mocha | *Object* | `{ }` | [Mocha options][3] to merge into existing mocha config. `grep` and `invert` are useful for skipping certain tests under coverage using tags in the test descriptions.|
+| onServerReady[*][14] | *Function* | | Hook run *after* server is launched, *before* the tests execute. Useful if you need to use the Oraclize bridge or have setup scripts which rely on the server's availability. [More...][23] |
+| onCompileComplete[*][14] | *Function* | | Hook run *after* compilation completes, *before* tests are run. Useful if you have secondary compilation steps or need to modify built artifacts. [More...][23]|
+| onTestsComplete[*][14] | *Function* | | Hook run *after* the tests complete, *before* Istanbul reports are generated. [More...][23]|
+| onIstanbulComplete[*][14] | *Function* | | Hook run *after* the Istanbul reports are generated, *before* the ganache server is shut down. Useful if you need to clean resources up. [More...][23]|
+
+[* Advanced use][14]
+
+## Usage
+
++ Coverage runs tests a little more slowly.
++ Coverage launches its own in-process ganache server.
++ You can set [ganache options][1] using the `providerOptions` key in your `.solcover.js` [config][15].
++ Coverage [distorts gas consumption][13]. Tests that check exact gas consumption should be [skipped][24].
++ :warning: Contracts are compiled **without optimization**. Please report unexpected compilation faults to [issue 417][25]
