npm test fails

[Endle]

$ slush biojs
Then, ran $npm test, and it fails:

[11:25:36] Using gulpfile ~/src/biojs/gulpfile.js

[error] "2014-10-05T03:25:36.094Z" 'error from lcovParse: ' 'Failed to parse string'

And I've written a dirty hack for that:

Maybe this is related to Dependency of glup failed #7 ?

@Endle thanks for letting us know. You receive this error because the generated LCOV file is empty (2). Anyhow even if it would be there (3) would be blocking you.

@emepyc I temporarily disabled the coveralls task. (=CLI answer for coverage is always false).

The main reasons were that:

(1) the command is failing for an empty test folder (see above)
(2) the LCOV file (produced by mocha --reporter mocha-lcov-reporter --require blanket) is empty for the blank setup (it is failing because the tests are split up in test/dom (tested with PhantomJS) and test/unit - mocha --reporter mocha-lcov-reporter --require "blanket" test/unit would work)
(3) coveralls needs registration in the web (otherwise it returns Couldn't find a repository matching this job)
(4) I would prefer if we generate the lcov in entirely in JS code (gulpfile.js).

I would be glad to re-enable the coveralls task after we resolved those points :)

A package maybe worth looking could be gulp-coverage.
