Description

zz_generated.deepcopy.go is 916 statements at 49.8% — about a quarter of all uncovered code in the repo. Nothing filtered it, so it cost roughly 4 points of the headline number and buried the coverage of code people actually write. The legacy api/v1alpha1 copy sits near 29% purely because that CRD is read-only, so most of its DeepCopyInto methods never run.

Nobody should hand-write a test for DeepCopyInto. Excluding it is the right fix; testing it is not.

bucket uncovered stmts
generated deepcopy 460
controller 355
CLI 314
legacy skyhook API group 156

everything else 335

Where the exclusion lives, and why not .coveralls.yml

Coveralls has no exclusion mechanism for Go profiles. There is no .coveralls.yml key for it, and coverallsapp/github-action has no such input — its inputs are file/files, format, flag-name, parallel, base-path and friends, all about which report to send, never which paths to drop. Path-level skip_files exists only in language-specific clients (excoveralls, coveralls-python), not on the generic Go path this repo uses. Coveralls counts whatever profile it is handed.

So the filtering has to happen before upload, and the list has to live somewhere that both merge paths read:

  • COVERAGE_EXCLUDE in operator/Makefile is the single definition.
  • make filter-coverage (new) applies it to reporting/cover.out.
  • make merge-coverage now calls it, so each per-suite artifact is filtered at the source.
  • The upload-coverage job calls it again on the combined profile — belt-and-braces, so a suite that starts uploading a raw profile cannot quietly reintroduce the generated files. No pattern is duplicated in YAML.

Verification

Run against the real merged profile from the CI run on #493:

coverage: excluded 480 of 5619 profile blocks matching 'zz_generated\.deepcopy\.go'
before: 78.7%
after:  82.4%

Edge cases exercised by hand:

  • filter-coverage with no cover.out present → silent no-op, exit 0
  • merge-coverage with no .coverprofile files → existing "No coverage files found" path, exit 0
  • mode: set header survives filtering; zero zz_generated.deepcopy.go lines remain

Notes for review

  • Reported coverage steps up once when this merges. That is a measurement change, not new testing — worth knowing before anyone reads the jump as progress. The docs section says so explicitly.
  • Drive-by fix: the .PHONY line above merge-coverage read merage-coverage, so the target was never actually declared phony. Fixed. Both targets now carry ## help text and show up in make help.
  • Deliberately excluded only generated code. cmd/manager/main.go (95 uncovered, 37.9%) and zz.migration.* (30 uncovered, 76%) were considered and left in. main.go is a defensible future addition; the migrations are hand-written one-shot upgrade logic and are exactly what you want pinned. The docs section states the rule: hand-written code does not go in this list.
  • Related: test(operator): cover pure-logic gaps in the nodewright API, wrapper, version and CLI utils #498 (tests for the pure-logic gaps) and refactor(operator): remove dead batch-strategy code from the legacy skyhook API #499 (removing the dead code the same pass surfaced). This PR is independent of both.

zz_generated.deepcopy.go is ~916 statements at 49.8%, about a quarter of all
uncovered code in the repo. It is controller-gen output and nobody should
hand-write a test for DeepCopyInto, but nothing filtered it, so it cost roughly
4 points of the headline number and buried the coverage of code people write.
The legacy api/v1alpha1 copy sits near 29% purely because that CRD is read-only.

Adds COVERAGE_EXCLUDE to operator/Makefile as the single definition, applied by
a new filter-coverage target. merge-coverage now calls it, so per-suite
artifacts are filtered at the source, and the upload-coverage job calls it again
on the combined profile so a suite that starts uploading a raw profile cannot
quietly reintroduce the generated files.

This has to happen before upload: Coveralls has no exclusion mechanism for Go
profiles. There is no .coveralls.yml key for it and coverallsapp/github-action
has no such input, so it counts whatever profile it is handed.

Verified against the merged profile from the run on #493: 5619 blocks in,
480 excluded, 78.7% -> 82.4%.

Drive-by: the .PHONY line above merge-coverage read "merage-coverage", so the
target was never actually declared phony. Fixed, and both targets now carry ##
help text so they show up in make help.

Reported coverage steps up once when this merges. That is a measurement change,
not new testing.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Makefile adds configurable coverage exclusions and a filter-coverage target for merged profiles. The merge process applies the filter with safeguards for empty, invalid, or unusable patterns. CI filters the profile before coverage calculation and upload. Documentation describes generated-file exclusions, filtering behavior, and the policy for hand-written code.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a693c

This PR changes how CI coverage is filtered and reported; the filtering behavior is verified, but the workflow still references upload-artifact without an immutable commit pin, leaving a bounded CI supply-chain risk that should receive explicit owner follow-up.

Comment thread operator/Makefile Outdated
COVERAGE_EXCLUDE is overridable, and every way a bad value can go wrong ended in
the same place: an empty cover.out replacing a good one and reporting 0% to
Coveralls, with nothing in the log blaming the pattern.

  - an empty value makes `grep -v -E ''` match every line (exit 1)
  - a pattern broad enough to match everything does the same (exit 1)
  - an invalid ERE truncates the redirect target *before* grep reports the
    error (exit 2), so the output is already destroyed by the time it fails

`|| true` hid all three and mv installed the wreckage.

filter-coverage now treats an empty value as "report the unfiltered profile",
and refuses on any grep exit above 1 *or* an empty result whatever the exit
status, leaving cover.out untouched. The empty-result check matters on its own:
exit 1 is not safe to accept, since it is exactly what a too-broad pattern
returns.

Verified against the real merged profile for all five paths: normal (480 of 5619
blocks excluded), empty value, match-everything, invalid ERE, and no profile
present. The two failure cases leave cover.out at its original 5619 lines and
fail merge-coverage rather than letting a broken profile reach the upload step.
