How to calculate total code coverage for tests

I need to calculate code coverage for golang project where source of tests will be integration tests written in Java language . This requires go build to be instrumented first and then run on server so that tests can run and we will get to know after tests have ended, how much is code coverage? I haven't found a single reference for this on internet all there is present is unit tests which can be run easily and used to calculate coverage

Before go 1.20 you could not do it. Only coverage for unit tests was supported.

However with go 1.20 it is now possible

https://go.dev/testing/coverage/:

Beginning in Go 1.20, Go supports collection of coverage profiles from applications and from integration tests, larger and more complex tests for Go programs.

https://go.dev/doc/go1.20:

To collect coverage data for a program, build it with go build's -cover flag, then run the resulting binary with the environment variable GOCOVERDIR set to an output directory for coverage profiles. See the 'coverage for integration tests' landing page for more on how to get started. For details on the design and implementation, see the proposal.

First of all generate the coverage profile by using the -coverprofile flag and tell the command where to store the information.

%  go test ./... -coverprofile cover.out              
?       some.project/somepkg            [no test files]
ok      some.project/somepkg/service    0.329s  coverage: 53.3% of statements

Than use go tool cover with the -func flag and point it to the previously generated file. This will show you the code coverage for every single package withing your project and down at the bottom the total coverage.

%  go tool cover -func cover.out         

some.project/somepkg/service/.go:27:          FuncA        100.0%
some.project/somepkg/service/service.go:33:   FuncB        100.0%
some.project/somepkg/service/service.go:51:   FuncC        0.0%
total:                                        (statements) 53.3%


%  go tool cover -func cover.out | fgrep total:
total:                                        (statements) 53.3%

%  go tool cover -func cover.out | fgrep total | awk '{print $3}'
100.0%

%  go tool cover -func cover.out | fgrep total | awk '{print substr($3, 1, length($3)-1)}'
100.0
