I tried to use the `-test.gocoverdir` (*) and while the test(s) being executed use the given directory, unfortunately it still sets `GOCOVERDIR` to some newly created temporary directory. Since my integration tests are executed from a *_test.go

Oh yes, it's true that the new mechanism is more general, and allows integration tests, it's a huge improvement for cases like this! Thanks for the design btw! Now the ergonomics of the case of unit tests + integration tests could be made easier/more ergonomic -- I would assume it is the common

[go-nuts] Re: Test coverage: joint unit test and integration test coverage

Hmm, my previous response got deleted for no reason. So here we go: the new mechanism is more general, and as you can see in my example I actually run the "same" unit tests twice. The reason is because some code paths might be only exercised when not being run as root, especially error handling.

Thanks, that's very helpful! I was doing something similar , but I was extracting the temporary coverage directory created by Go because I didn't know about the --test.gocoverdir flag. Still it feels wrong o
