gocov

Self-hostable coverage tracking — an open-source Coveralls/Codecov alternative. Single binary + Postgres. Bitbucket Cloud is the first supported forge. Supported formats: Go cover profiles, LCOV tracefiles (JavaScript/TypeScript — Jest, Vitest, nyc, c8), JaCoCo XML (Java/Kotlin — Maven, Gradle, Android) and Cobertura XML (Python — coverage.py/pytest-cov; also PHPUnit, coverlet, gcovr); the format is detected from the uploaded content.

Features (MVP)

• Parses Go cover profiles (go test -coverprofile), LCOV tracefiles (Jest/Vitest/nyc lcov.info), JaCoCo XML (jacoco.xml) and Cobertura XML (coverage.xml) into total and per-file coverage
• POST /api/v1/upload API with per-repo Bearer tokens
• SVG coverage badge per repo (/badge/{workspace}/{repo}.svg)
• Web UI: repo list → upload list → per-file coverage table
• Uploader CLI that auto-detects Bitbucket Pipelines environment variables and falls back to git
• Pushes a coverage: X% (±Y%) build status to Bitbucket commits when the repo has an app password configured
• Coverage gate: per-repo minimums for total and diff coverage plus a drop tolerance; violations push a FAILED build status, so a Bitbucket merge check can block the PR
• Source view: any file in an upload renders line by line with coverage overlay and hit counts, fetched from the forge at the exact commit and cached immutably (misses are cached too); without forge credentials the page falls back to an uncovered-line summary. When an upload has no path_prefix, recorded paths that carry an unmapped leading prefix (a Go module path, a CI checkout directory) are resolved by probing trimmed variants against the forge. Note: the web UI has no authentication yet — deploy on a trusted network (login is on the roadmap)
• Diff coverage for pull requests: fetches the PR diff from Bitbucket, intersects changed lines with coverage blocks, and posts a PR comment listing uncovered changed lines — repeated uploads update the same comment instead of stacking new ones

The architecture is deliberately extensible: coverage formats sit behind profile.Parser, forges behind forge.Forge, raw profile storage behind blobstore.Store, and the database schema stores a format-agnostic normalized model — so lcov/cobertura, GitHub/GitLab, diff coverage, and S3 storage can be added without rewrites.

Quick start

docker compose up

This starts Postgres and the server on http://localhost:8080 (migrations apply automatically).

Onboarding a whole workspace (recommended)

For many repos, register the workspace once and use a single token:

docker compose exec server gocov-server workspace add \
  -prefix myworkspace -default-branch main

Set the printed token as a Bitbucket workspace variable (GOCOV_TOKEN, secured) together with GOCOV_SERVER — every repo inherits them. Repos register themselves on their first upload; their default branch is asked from Bitbucket when a global bot account is configured (see Configuration), falling back to the workspace's -default-branch.

Registering repos one by one

docker compose exec server gocov-server repo add \
  -slug myworkspace/myrepo \
  -default-branch main \
  -bb-username myuser -bb-app-password "$APP_PASSWORD"   # optional, for build statuses

Manage repos later with:

gocov-server repo list                                   # slugs, branches, credential status
gocov-server repo rotate-token -slug myworkspace/myrepo  # invalidates the old token
gocov-server repo update -slug myworkspace/myrepo \
  -default-branch develop                                # and/or -bb-username/-bb-app-password,
                                                         # or -clear-credentials
gocov-server repo remove -slug myworkspace/myrepo -force # deletes uploads and raw profiles too;
                                                         # without -force only prints a summary
gocov-server workspace list|rotate-token|update|remove   # workspace token management

Coverage gate

gocov-server repo update -slug myworkspace/myrepo \
  -min-coverage 80 -min-diff-coverage 70 -max-drop 0.5

Each rule is optional: -min-coverage is the minimum total percentage, -min-diff-coverage applies to the changed lines of PR uploads (skipped when no diff coverage is available), and -max-drop bounds how far total coverage may fall below the latest gate-passing upload on the default branch (0 forbids any drop). Gate-failing uploads are recorded but never serve as a baseline, so re-running CI cannot launder a failure and a PR cannot ratchet coverage down push by push. Violations mark the pushed build status FAILED — require the gocov build in Bitbucket's merge checks to block such PRs — and are reported in the PR comment and the upload response (gate field). -clear-gate removes all rules. The same flags on workspace add and workspace update set defaults inherited by auto-registered repos. The CLI exits non-zero on a failed gate when run with -fail-on-gate.

Uploading coverage from CI

In Bitbucket Pipelines (commit, branch, repo and PR id are auto-detected):

- step:
    script:
      - go test ./... -covermode=atomic -coverprofile=coverage.out
      - go run github.com/bykclk/gocov/cmd/gocov@latest upload coverage.out

with GOCOV_SERVER and GOCOV_TOKEN set as repository variables.

On runners without a Go toolchain, use the prebuilt binaries from GitHub Releases instead (linux/darwin/windows, amd64 + arm64, checksums included). Pin a version and cache the download on self-hosted runners:

ver=v0.1.0
arch=$(uname -m); case "$arch" in x86_64) arch=amd64;; aarch64|arm64) arch=arm64;; esac
bin="$HOME/.cache/gocov/gocov-$ver-linux-$arch"
if [ ! -x "$bin" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$(dirname "$bin")"
  curl -fsSL "https://github.com/bykclk/gocov/releases/download/$ver/gocov-linux-$arch" -o "$bin"
  chmod +x "$bin"
fi
"$bin" upload coverage.out

Outside CI, values fall back to git or can be passed explicitly:

gocov upload -server https://gocov.example -token $TOKEN \
  -repo myworkspace/myrepo -commit $(git rev-parse HEAD) -branch main \
  coverage.out

Other ecosystems upload their reports the same way — the format is detected from the content, no flag needed:

npx jest --coverage             # or vitest run --coverage, nyc, c8 ...
gocov upload coverage/lcov.info

mvn verify                      # with the jacoco-maven-plugin
gocov upload target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml

gradle test jacocoTestReport    # xml.required = true
gocov upload build/reports/jacoco/test/jacocoTestReport.xml

pytest --cov --cov-report=xml   # coverage.py / pytest-cov
gocov upload coverage.xml

JaCoCo paths are package-qualified (com/example/Foo.java); diff coverage matches them against repo paths by suffix, so source roots like src/main/java need no configuration.

Badge

![coverage](https://gocov.example/badge/myworkspace/myrepo.svg)

Red below 50%, yellow 50–75%, green above 75%. Shows the latest upload on the repo's default branch.

API

POST /api/v1/upload — multipart form, Authorization: Bearer <token>

part	meaning
profile	file: the coverage profile
repo	optional; must match the token's repo
commit	required commit SHA
branch	defaults to the repo's default branch
pr_id	optional pull request id
format	go, lcov, jacoco or cobertura; omitted → detected from content
path_prefix	maps profile paths to repo paths for diff coverage, e.g. the Go module path (the CLI fills it from go.mod)

Returns 201 with {id, total_pct, covered_stmts, total_stmts, delta_pct, build_status}. Uploads carrying a pr_id additionally get diff_pct, diff_covered_lines, diff_total_lines, diff_status and pr_comment when the repo has forge credentials configured.

Configuration

variable	default
DATABASE_URL	—	Postgres DSN (required)
GOCOV_ADDR	:8080	listen address
GOCOV_BASE_URL	http://localhost:8080	public URL used in statuses
GOCOV_BITBUCKET_USERNAME	—	global Bitbucket bot account (with an API token, the account email)
GOCOV_BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD	—	the bot's app password or scoped API token

The global bot account is used by every repo that has no credentials of its own — for build statuses, PR comments, diff coverage and default branch detection. Per-repo credentials (repo update -bb-username ...) take precedence.

Development

go test ./...
go build ./...

The store, forge and blobstore interfaces each have test doubles (internal/store/memory, internal/forge/fake, internal/blobstore/memory), so handlers are fully testable without Postgres or Bitbucket.

The Postgres store additionally has integration tests that run against a real server when GOCOV_TEST_DATABASE_URL is set (they are skipped otherwise). Each test creates and drops its own scratch database:

docker run --rm -d --name gocov-test-db -p 5433:5432 \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=gocov -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=gocov -e POSTGRES_DB=gocov \
  postgres:16-alpine
GOCOV_TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgres://gocov:gocov@localhost:5433/gocov go test ./...
docker stop gocov-test-db

GET /healthz reports readiness (checks database connectivity) for load balancers and container orchestrators; the server shuts down gracefully on SIGINT/SIGTERM.
