Regex for Gitlab CI Test coverage parsing

I have been struggling to find a regular expression that will work in the "Test coverage parsing" input on the "CI/CD Pipelines" page. It doesn't help that the examples show inconsistent examples, i.e. some escape parenthesis and other don't, same with percent symbols, some capture the explicit result in $1, etc. Anyway, here is my text - whats the regex?

CI Badge:

![coverage](https://gitlab.com/mycompany/master/badges/master/coverage.svg?job=coverage)

Output text:

Unit test coverage:
   10.01% blocks
   10.01% lines

Tried so far: (added the slashes simply to represent the space at front or regex)

/ \(\d+\.\d+\%\) blocks/
/ (\d+\.\d+\%) blocks/
/ (\d+\.\d+%) blocks/
/ (\d+\.\d+)% blocks/
Solution

  • The issue was that the coverage URL query "?job=coverage" was incorrect. As for the regex, I used:

    \W(\d+(?:\.\d+)%)\sblocks
