feat(learn): Collecting code coverage

[RedYetiDev]

Description

This PR introduces a learning article on collecting code coverage in Node.js. However, it should not be merged until support for thresholds is included in the next semver-minor release, which is expected to be next week.

Check List

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines and made commit messages that follow the guideline.
• I have run npm run format to ensure the code follows the style guide.
• I have run npm run test to check if all tests are passing.
• I have run npx turbo build to check if the website builds without errors.
• [N/A] I've covered new added functionality with unit tests if necessary.

This is my first feedback, I think the introduction should be improved to put it in context. It should be remembered that the learn section is intended for non-experts.

LGTM !

Thanks for writing this, reads well

[RedYetiDev]

I've undrafted this, as the release proposal for v22.8.0 is ready at nodejs/node#54560, but it still shouldn't land until that does.

The expected release date is 2024-08-26 2024-09-02

this is great - looking forward to it

Can we have last review form @nodejs/test_runner

This is amazing. However I'm not sure we should be landing this before having stabilized the code coverage functionality.

[RedYetiDev]

I think this is okay to land once v22.8.0 releases, as it specifies that the --experimental-code-coverage command is needed, indicating that it is experimental. Would you like me to add a notice at the beginning that this is experimental, or just hold off until it's stabilized?

[mcollina]

I think it's better to hold off until it's stable.

Is there an ETA for the stabilization of it?

[RedYetiDev]

IMO code coverage (w/o the --enable-source-maps flag) is pretty stable. I haven't seen many bugs with it in a while.

I asked a few weeks ago, and it was pointed out that statement coverage isn't supported, however, I'm not sure if that's in the plans for the immediate future of code coverage.

The original issue tracking the stability has been closed as completed, as all tasks were completed, which might mean it's ready to be stable. I've left a comment asking.
