Installation

# From your Backstage root directory
yarn --cwd packages/backend add @backstage-community/plugin-code-coverage-backend

In your packages/backend/src/index.ts make the following changes:

+ backend.add(import('@backstage-community/plugin-code-coverage-backend'));

Configuring your entity

In order to use this plugin, you must set the backstage.io/code-coverage annotation.

metadata:
  annotations:
    backstage.io/code-coverage: enabled

There's a feature to only include files that are in VCS in the coverage report, this is helpful to not count generated files for example. To enable this set the backstage.io/code-coverage annotation to scm-only.

metadata:
  annotations:
    backstage.io/code-coverage: scm-only

Note: It may be required to set the backstage.io/source-location annotation, however this should generally not be needed.
