Description

Request Overview

The LCOV tests add a requirement that LCOV be installed on the system. This is fine for the LCOV tests, but I don't like the dependency that it creates for all of the other single-root-UI tests.

I want to break it out into its own configuration so that I only have to install LCOV (or make local changes), if I want to test LCOV, which has the requirement of installing LCOV on the system.

Research direction

The issue names the LCOV tests and the single-root-UI test configuration, but no files or entry points. Start by locating those test configurations and comparing their dependencies. Done means LCOV tests run in a separate configuration without making LCOV a requirement for other single-root-UI tests.
