Branch coverage

[myint]

Does Coveralls support branch coverage? (See example.) I know Coveralls supports "hits per line", but that alone does not really tell you if the tests have covered both branches of a conditional.

👍 I'm not yet using Coveralls on my closed source projects because it doesn't measure branch coverage so I still have to run all of my coverage reports locally.

Anything we can do to push this feature up in the priority queue? I'd gladly beta test such a feature.

Any news about this? I would love to see branch coverage in my repos..

Adding my vote to this. I'd definitely use it :)

No updates on this? I'd actually been relying on the "100% coverage" reports from coveralls, and only just now happened to look at the actual cov output and see that I have a bunch of missed branches...

[treyhunner]

I second @jantman sentiment.

As long as the programming languages I use can have if statements without else clauses, my code coverage will almost always require branch coverage to be a complete picture.

#216 is possibly a duplicate.

👍 for it

Kind of surprised that this has been sitting dormant for two years. Are there any plans to implement this at all in the future?

The lack of branch coverage statistics in coveralls.io made me switch to codecov.io. I like your interface more though, so please fix this issue so I can come back ;)

It seems that there is branch coverage. For my project jQuery Terminal:

@jcubic I think you may be misunderstanding the term "branch coverage" here. 😉

Looks to me like Coveralls is now doing branch coverage. Had a 2.5% drop today upon merging into master.

Hey @kasperlewau, yes! We quietly released it over the weekend and are watching for issues before making a wider announcement.

Let me know if you come across anything fishy. Thanks!

@kasperlewau I still don't see it at https://coveralls.io/github/Pr0methean/BetterRandom. Is Java supported for branch coverage yet?
