Getting started¶

Authentication¶

Find and copy a Project API Token. You can find the token within a repository Settings → Integrations → Project API.
Set the Project API Token in your terminal, replacing %Project_Token% with your own:

export CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN=%Project_Token%

Warning

You should keep your API token well protected, as it grants owner permissions to your projects.

Hint

If you'd like to automate this process for multiple repositories you can authenticate using an Account API Token.

Note

To upload coverage to a self-hosted installation of Codacy you need to set your installation URL:

export CODACY_API_BASE_URL=<Codacy_instance_URL>:16006

Or use the flag: --codacy-api-base-url <Codacy_instance_URL>:16006.

Running Codacy Coverage Reporter¶

The easiest way to get starting is by using the self-contained script that downloads and runs the reporter:

bash <(curl -Ls https://coverage.codacy.com/get.sh)

Choose a specific version¶

The script uses by default the latest version.

If you want to specify a coverage reporter version, use CODACY_REPORTER_VERSION environment variable.

You can find all versions in the Releases tab.

Manual Installation¶

Using CircleCI? Check out the codacy/coverage-reporter orb.

Using GitHub Actions? Check out the codacy/coverage-coverage-reporter action.

If the automated script does not cover your use case, check the manual installation methods.

Supported formats¶

The following table contains the formats supported and which coverage tools generate them:

Language	Coverage tools (examples)	Formats	Filename
Java	JaCoCo Cobertura	JaCoCo Cobertura	jacoco*.xml cobertura.xml
Scala	sbt-jacoco scoverage	JaCoCo Cobertura	jacoco*.xml cobertura.xml
Javascript	Istanbul Poncho Mocha + Blanket.js	LCOV	lcov.info, lcov.dat, *.lcov
Python	Coverage.py	Cobertura	cobertura.xml
PHP	PHPUnit	PHPUnit XML (version <= 4) Clover	coverage-xml/index.xml clover.xml
Ruby	SimpleCov	Cobertura LCOV	cobertura.xml lcov.info, lcov.dat, *.lcov
C#	OpenCover DotCover CLI	OpenCover DotCover-DetailedXML	opencover.xml dotcover.xml
Swift/Objective-C	XCode Coverage	Check here information about reports for this language

The reporter assumes the coverage reports filename follow the name convention. Otherwise, you must define the report's location with the flag -r.

Note

If your coverage reports are in a different format you can use a format converter, such as ReportGenerator, to generate a supported format.

Unsuported Languages¶

If your language is not in the list of supported languages, you can still send coverage to Codacy. You can do it by providing the correct --language name and then add the --force-language flag.

Commit SHA hash detection¶

Codacy automatically detects a commit SHA hash from CI workflows, the git repository or command line arguments. See all supported environments.

Multiple coverage reports for the same language¶

You can upload multiple reports if your test suite is split in different modules or ran in parallel. See how to uploasd multiple coverage reports.
