+ Truffle should be globallly installed in your environment.. If you prefer running truffle as
a local dependency, please see [this section](https://github.com/sc-forks/solidity-coverage/blob/master/docs/faq.md#running-truffle-as-a-local-dependency) of the FAQ.
+ If your suite uses native Solidity testing or accesses contracts via mocks stored in `tests/` (a la Zeppelin), coverage will trigger test errors because it can't control the way truffle compiles that folder. Mocks should be relocated to the root `contracts` directory. More on why this is necessary at issue [146](https://github.com/sc-forks/solidity-coverage/issues/146)
| norpc | *Boolean* | false | Prevent solidity-coverage from launching its own testrpc. Useful if you are managing a complex test suite with a [shell script](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-solidity/blob/ed872ca0a11c4926f8bb91dd103bea1378a3384c/scripts/coverage.sh) |
| testCommand | *String* | `truffle test` | Run an arbitrary test command. ex: `mocha --timeout 5000`. NB: Also set the `port` option to whatever your tests require (probably 8545). |
| testrpcOptions | *String* | `--port 8555` | options to append to a command line invocation of testrpc. NB: Using this overwrites the defaults so always specify a port in this string *and* in the `port` option |
| copyNodeModules | *Boolean* | false | :warning: **DEPRECATED** use `copyPackages` instead :warning: Copies `node_modules` into the coverage environment. May significantly increase the time for coverage to complete if enabled. Useful if your contracts import solidity files from an npm installed package (and your node_modules is small). |
| copyPackages | *Array* | `[]` | Copies specific `node_modules` packages into the coverage environment. May significantly reduce the time for coverage to complete compared to `copyNodeModules`. Useful if your contracts import solidity files from an npm installed package. |
| skipFiles | *Array* | `['Migrations.sol']` | Array of contracts or folders (with paths expressed relative to the `contracts` directory) that should be skipped when doing instrumentation. `Migrations.sol` is skipped by default, and does not need to be added to this configuration option if it is used. |
| dir | *String* | `.` | Solidity-coverage copies all the assets in your root directory (except `node_modules`) to a special folder where it instruments the contracts and executes the tests. `dir` allows you to define a relative path from the root directory to those assets. Useful if your contracts & tests are within their own folder as part of a larger project.|
