if-else path not taken in imports in angular istanbul code coverage report

Question

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Title } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Com(I)ponent({
  selector: 'app-fruit-cake',(E)
  templateUrl: './fruit-cake.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./fruit-cake.component.scss'],
})
expo(E)rt class FruitCakeComponent {
  constructor(private _title: Title) {
    _title.setTitle('Cake');
  }
}

My code coverage report shows (E): else path not taken. (I): if path not taken. What does it mean in the context of import statements and decorators? My code coverage is not reaching to 100% in any of my tests due to this. How do I rectify it?

Answer 1

I had to remove:

--sourceMap=false

Previously, I had added this to help diagnose other issues. So my test script in package.json looked like this:

"test": "ng test --code-coverage --sourceMap=false"

I changed it to be:

"test": "ng test --code-coverage"

Then, all of my code coverage started reporting correctly. You may also want to verify your devDependencies in package.json. I am using Angular 6 so they look like this:
