How to ignore branch coverage for missing 'else'

Question

Is it possible to ignore the marker E in istanbul branch coverage?

I am using Jasmine+karma+Istanbul. Is there any possibility to ingore E and get 100% branch coverage?

Maybe a property that can be set in config?

Here is an example of the coverage results

You can use /* istanbul ignore else*/ just before the if statement to ignore the missing else.

If you don't want the comments all over the place you can also set up another test where you actually hit that else.

If you have something like this:

_method: function () {
  if (this.foo === 'foo') {
    this.bar = false
  }
}

You just need to create a test where this.foo does not equal 'foo'.

yes, thanks.. but in some cases it's seems difficult to create a test ( i.e. promise catch(e) ..if { validation error.. } else { next(e) }. the else block is picking up any other kind of error and passing them to the next middleware error handler... appreciate any link to it – Jun 25 '17 at 07:30
