V8 Coverage showing unexpected results

先使用 ng test --coverage 在 Angular 21 中重現，然後結合對 app.ts 和 app.spec.ts 的變更，檢查 angular.json 和 vitest.config.ts。將空元件的 V8 分支報告與已設定的 coverage include 和 exclude 進行比較。完成的標準是確定該結果屬於預期的 V8 行為，還是 Angular CLI unit-test builder 中的缺陷，並記錄可重現的案例和預期的 coverage 行為。

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

Don't known / other

Is this a regression?

No

Description

I'm in the process of migrating from jasmine/karma with istanbul coverage to vitest with v8 coverage. I'm currently migrating around 2500 unit tests. With Istanbul I had over 95% coverage across statements, branches, functions and lines. With vitest I'm seeing lower coverage, mainly on the branches with 90%.

I've noticed that even empty classes (template only) show 90% branch coverage (9/10).

A minimal reproduction:

• Create a new Angular 21 application: ng new ng21
• Install v8 coverage npm i --save-dev @vitest/coverage-v8
• Remove the protected title variable from app.ts -- protected readonly title = signal('ng21');
• Remove the should render title test from app.spec.ts
• Run ng test --coverage

This is the coverage I see:

Similar from my project:

with the spec file as:

import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { HeaderComponent } from './header.component';
import { HeaderComponent as ClsHeaderComponent, TenantDropdownComponent } from '@cls/ui-util';
import { MockComponent } from '@cls/ui-util/testing';
import { SearchComponent } from '../../schedule/components/search/search.component';

describe('HeaderComponent', () => {
    beforeEach(async () => {
        await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            imports: [HeaderComponent],
            providers: []
        })
            .overrideComponent(HeaderComponent, {
                remove: { imports: [SearchComponent, ClsHeaderComponent, TenantDropdownComponent] },
                add: {
                    imports: [
                        MockComponent({ selector: 'app-search' }) as any,
                        MockComponent({ selector: 'cls-header' }) as any,
                        MockComponent({ selector: 'cls-tenant-dropdown' }) as any
                    ]
                }
            })
            .compileComponents();
    });

    function setup() {
        const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HeaderComponent);

        return {
            fixture,
            app: fixture.componentInstance,
            compiled: fixture.debugElement.nativeElement
        };
    }

    it('should create the app', () => {
        const { app } = setup();
        expect(app).toBeTruthy();
    });
});

angular.json

"test": {
  "builder": "@angular/build:unit-test",
  "options": {
    "browsers": ["chromium"],
    "buildTarget": "admin-ui:build",
    "headless": true,
    "tsConfig": "./tsconfig.spec.json",
    "runnerConfig": "./vitest.config.ts",
    "coverage": true,
    "coverageInclude": ["src/app/**/*.ts"],
    "coverageExclude": ["index.ts", "main.ts", "polyfills.ts", "**/*.routes.ts", "**/*.model.ts", "**/*.interface.ts"],
    "coverageReporters": ["text", "html", "lcov"],
    "coverageThresholds": {
      "statements": 90,
      "branches": 90,
      "functions": 90,
      "lines": 90
    }
  }
}

vitest.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
    test: {
        environment: 'jsdom',
        globals: true,
        setupFiles: ['src/test-setup.ts'],
        restoreMocks: true,
        coverage: {
            provider: 'v8'
        },
        browser: {
            screenshotFailures: false
        }
    }
});

Have I misconfigured something? Do I have an incorrect assumption of v8 coverage or is there an issue here?
