Overview
The full_coverage package is a script tool designed to ensure coverage testing tools can detect and analyze all Dart files in a Flutter project. It addresses common issues where certain files are excluded from coverage reports due to how the test runner discovers source files. By integrating this package, developers gain more accurate code coverage metrics across the entire codebase, improving testing reliability. It supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Use cases
- Ensuring complete code coverage in CI/CD pipelines

Suitable for
- Flutter teams focused on high test coverage
- CI/CD environments requiring reliable coverage data
- Developers troubleshooting coverage gaps
- Projects using coverage tools like `coverage` or `dart test --coverage`
- Teams aiming for compliance with testing standards
Considerations
