Coverage report not there

[tfm64]

I'm trying to follow the book. Maven version 3.0.4.
I'm getting the following warnings:

[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for com.wakaleo.gameoflife:gameoflife-core:jar:0.9.67-SNAPSHOT
[WARNING] 'reporting.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-project-info-reports-plugin is missing. @ line 16, column 21

and

[WARNING] The POM for org.easyb:maven-easyb-plugin:jar:1.5 is missing, no dependency information available

but the following is very strange.

Cobertura: Loaded information on 2 classes.
Report time: 174ms

Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. Any ideas?

[EivindEE]

He has modified the pom to only report when you invoke -Pmetrics.
He explains it on page 179. I just spent two days trying to generate it.
Change the line to:

javadoc:javadoc cobertura:cobertura -Pmetrics

and it should work.

[rachelo]

I am running into the same issue. I have changed my line to: javadoc:javadoc cobertura:cobertura -Pmetrics and I am still getting this warning:

[WARNING]

Is there something key I'm missing?

[technorat]

I have the same problem too..Any solutions?

[wakaleo]

The warning shouldn't stop the build working correctly.

I am having similar problem. coverage.xml is not created. And, I am getting the following error.

I've been stuck on this problem for days and am now getting quite frustrated at the book and that there is no clear fix for this. I'm using the "javadoc:javadoc cobertura:cobertura -Pmetrics" options as explained before which does not help.

I'm on Jenkins 1.540
Maven 3.1.1

Any thoughts??

It looks like the Maven Cobertura plugin is extremely buggy with more recent versions of Maven (possibly). The documented configuration doesn't work. The workaround is to use jacoco instead of cobertura. Jacoco is run automatically when you run "mvn verify". In Jenkins, you can use the Jacoco plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/JaCoCo+Plugin). To configure this plugin, use the following values:

Path to exec files: /target/.exec
Path to class directories: /target
Path to source directories: src/main/java
Exclusions: */When

[phutchins]

Awesome, this worked first run!! I really appreciate the quick reply. Been stuck on this for a bit and didn't want to move any further in my book until I got past this. :) It didn't find any exec files however so I'm playing around with the path settings... I dont' see any .exec files in /target so i'm trying /target/.exec which seems to work and finds 3 exec's but Im not sure what the lines mean... Also, does the ** mean any directory?

[jason-azze-cdna]

For Path to exec files: I needed **/target/.exec

Otherwise JaCoCo complains about "Expecting Ant GLOB pattern"

[striker88]

I have used the following in the post build action section to configure the Jacoco Coverage Report and it seems, it is working.
Path to exec files: */target/.exec
Path to class directories: **/target
Path to source directories: */src/main/java
inclusions: */.class
Exclusions: */When

I am still not able to build it successfully. I still face below error

A hint for people struggling with JaCoCo path settings: mind the effect of unintended Markdown markup in wakaleo's post above ;-)

The following settings actually result in nice code coverage reports (trend, summary, and annotated source ):

Path to exec files: **/target/*.exec
Path to class directories: **/target
Path to source directories : **/src/main/java
Inclusions: **/*.class
Exclusions: **/When*

[bedoyama]

See:
wakaleo/jenkins-the-definitive-guide-book#15

For a solution. It boils down to

1. add a format property to the build step to produce the coverage.xml
   cobertura:cobertura -Dcobertura.report.format=xml
2. Deleting the line
   true
   in the surefire plugin to get a correct coverage report. (inside the pom file)
   Without this fix the report is 0% for everything.

[alexqfredrickson]

TG9541's suggestion works for me (nice catch!), and the build runs, but the JaCoCo code coverage results are all 0%:

INSTRUCTION 0%
BRANCH 0%
COMPLEXITY 0%
LINE 0%
METHOD 0%
CLASS 0%

[bakalor]

Thanks to everybody for clarifications, the JaCoCo works well.
