Coverage is incorrect with nodeunit

[ecokeley]

All my unit tests are passing with nodeunit and my tests are executing ever line of my 1 module I'm testing. Coverage seems to only count 1 test.

I validated by putting console.logs in code and tests to prove lines were executed.

I think because I'm using nodeunits util Sandbox to replace require I am only getting the test that isn't mocking out other modules. I see in the configuration there are hooks but it isn't clear how I could use them.

Yeah - there is no good way to do coverage in the nodeunit sandbox because istanbul relies on global variables to collect coverage. Need to dig deeper since I did notice that there is a way to pass some globals into the nodeunit sandbox.

hi, i'm having a similar issue.. here are my nodeunit tests https://github.com/dciccale/node-htmlprocessor/blob/0.2.0/test/test.js

and if i run

$ istanbul cover npm test

tests do run, but i get

OK: 15 assertions (85ms)
No coverage information was collected, exit without writing coverage information

I have migrated to my tests to mocha
