Configurable nyc 'relativeNycRunFromPath' parameter

[alastair-todd]

The tool has a locked opinion of where the cypress folder is in relation to the root of the project, typically:

/cypress

however we isolate cypress for e2e, thus

/e2e/cypress

so that it can have its own package.json

this means when nyc is called to generate the report it is from e2e, and not the source code root /

I've no idea the mechanics of that, but without running the command from root the report yields nothing (this is what cypress calls at test time)

C:\_dev\workspace\e2e\node_modules\.bin\nyc report --report-dir ./coverage --temp-dir C:\_dev\workspace\e2e\.nyc_output --reporter=lcov --reporter=clover --reporter=json

When manually run from C:\_dev\workspace\e2e = no report
When manually run from C:\_dev\workspace\ = report

But its the former chosen by the tool and no apparent why to effect it.

Describe the solution you'd like
A configurable relativeNycRunFromPath parameter (for me that's ..)

Describe alternatives you've considered
creating my own copy of task.js and updating process.cwd()

the change:
return execa(foundNyc, args, { cwd: join(processWorkingDirectory, '..'), stdio: 'inherit' })

Hi @alastair-todd I have a beta release of Cypress that uses nyc as its own dependency and does not call it via bin folder. Could you try @cypress/code-coverage@2.0.0-beta.1 and comment if it solves your problem?

[bahmutov]

🎉 This issue has been resolved in version 2.0.0 🎉

The release is available on:

• npm package (@latest dist-tag)
• GitHub release

Your semantic-release bot 📦🚀

@bahmutov I updated everything and the issue persists.

nyc is required to be run from the root of the source and in the scenario described above, it is one folder up (for me) than the default you have set in the plugin

i need to be able to change the cwd of execa effectively

I perhaps think you interpreted this as the bin folder of nyc... not the folder it needs to run from

[alastair-todd]

I managed to find a workaround, using the named npm script referenced in task.js

"coverage:report": "cd .. && e2e\\node_modules\\.bin\\nyc report --reporter=html --temp-dir=./e2e/.nyc_output --report-dir=./e2e/coverage"
