Using Istanbul to calculate code coverage

[simoncast]

What are you trying to achieve?

I'd like to use istanbul to calculate code coverage reports for our CodeceptJS tests. The mocha tutorial for Istanbul indicates you run the mocha tests with nyc e.g. nyc mocha run

As CodeceptJS is based on Mocha, will it work to run codeceptjs using nyc? e.g. nyc codeceptjs run

No, code coverage is not possible for end to end tests because they do not touch the code directly. They interact with application via browser and webserver, so there is no ideas of the actual code being run.

I also really hope for this to come!

@Odonno This is out for Cypress. I wonder if it would work the same way forCodeceptjs as well?
