Better documentation for Circle-CI configuration

[PaulWoodIII]

Coveralls should make a tutorial or add documentation on how to set up coveralls with circle-ci

👍 You've probably solved it for yourself, but for anyone else who ends up on this issue we were able to solve this by adding the following to our circle.yml

machine:
  environment:
    COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN: <<YOUR TOKEN>>
    COVERALLS_PARALLEL: true

notify:
  webhooks:
    - url: https://coveralls.io/webhook?repo_token=<<YOUR TOKEN>>

If you're using rspec with rails, this is what worked for me. Add the coveralls and simplecov gems, add your repo token to .coveralls.yml, and change spec_helper.rb:

In .coveralls.yml:

repo_token: your_repo_token_here

At the top of spec/spec_helper.rb:

require 'simplecov'

# Check to see if we're inside a CI environment. If not, we don't want to override the default formatter.
if ENV['CI']
  require 'coveralls'
  SimpleCov.formatter = Coveralls::SimpleCov::Formatter
end

# The NO_COVERAGE clause is optional - Coveralls and CircleCI don't use it by default, but may be useful for you in other circumstances.
SimpleCov.start 'rails' unless ENV.key?('NO_COVERAGE')

I didn't need any changes to my circle.yml file.

The documentation for setting up circleci is still lacking. I have been trying to get it working, but despite pushing to my repo, and adding the key to my circle ci environment variables, I still see:

[Coveralls] Outside the Travis environment, not sending data.

In the test output, and nothing ever gets to Coveralls.

I think this got eventually updated for CircleCI 1.0, but the documentation doesn't help for 2.0.

I am also unable to get coveralls work with CircleCI 2.0.

Anyone has successfully integrated CircleCI and coveralls yet? 🤷‍♀️

[kenske]

I did, but ended up moving to codecov because the coveralls reports took too long (sometimes hours)

[muryanto1]

coveralls is working for me with circleci 2.0.

• add my repo to coveralls, get the "TOKEN" for that repo, and
• add "COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN" environment variable in Circleci setting for my project.
• run "coverage xml" after running my tests with coverage on <-- I think this is needed.
• run 'coveralls' in circleci

Hi all, thanks for the replies! @muryanto1 your answer worked! However I also found CodeClimate a better documented tool which I integrated easily and with code quality analysis included too.

Would recommend giving it a look :-)

@lifenautjoe and @muryanto1 Could you please share how you set up the config.yml. I am abit stuck configuring circleCI with coveralls. Thank you.

I was able to get coveralls working with circleci using the coveralls-python python library and coveralls node library.

I did have a bug with running the python library in parallel so I had to do a workaround: TheKevJames/coveralls-python#233 (comment)
