pio remote support code coverage reporting

[gittinhubbed]

Feature Request

I am trying to add Sonar to my GitLab pipeline to get code coverage reporting and analysis. This works very well when running pio test --junit-output-path . however that option is not availalbe to pio remote test. I would like to be able to run pio remote test -e <env_name> --junit-output-path <path_to_coverage_report>. There is no coverage reporting option that I have found for this scenario but I am fairly new to embedded testing and development so I haven't been exposed to all the tools that are available so there may be one but don't know of it.

Description of problem

I am using an Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 and have not been able to find an emulator for the Cortex-M0 processor it uses. I need to run the unit tests through pio remote [options] and also want to generate the same code coverage reports that I am able to produce locally.

Expected Results

Executing pio remote test --junit-output-path <report_path> generates a coverage report and the report is stored at <report_path> where it can be used by the coverage analysis tool.

Thanks for the feature request. As a temporary solution, you can run "local Gitlab runner" on your side and use pio test instead of pio remote test. See https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/

@ivankravets suggesting a self hosted runner is a bad idea. if somebody is hijecking the runner with a simple push-request the runner and the internal network is open for for the hacker.
