Description

Display total coverage percentage in SimpleCov index

Would be nice to show the overall project coverage percentage in the SimpleCov index page. Right now it only shows individual file coverage, but I often want to see the total coverage number (like "45.5%") at a glance.

I implemented this using SimpleCov's covered_percent method from the SimpleCov::Result object. The changes:

  • Added a method to expose the SimpleCov::Result from the Coverage analyser
  • Added total_coverage to the SimpleCovIndex generator that displays it in the header
  • Reused the existing Coverage analyser logic (no duplication)
  • The result is cached when the analyser runs, so there's no performance impact

The implementation uses SimpleCov's own calculation method, so it's accurate and consistent with SimpleCov's reporting.

Research direction

Locate the Coverage analyser and the SimpleCovIndex generator, then read how the analyser currently obtains coverage data and how the index header is assembled. Reuse the existing SimpleCov::Result covered_percent calculation so the generated index displays the overall percentage alongside the file coverage information.
