Provide coverage report format Jenkins can consume

[stogle]

This is a request to add a code coverage output format that Jenkins can consume. I cannot find a way to integrate Chutzpah's lcov output with Jenkins. It should be possible to integrate Chutzpah's HTML output vis the HTML Publisher plugin, but with the right output I could leverage a plugin to create reports with drill down and links to source files. Here is what my research has turned up:

• Istanbul had a similar feature request and added a Cobertura output format that the popular Cobertura plugin can consume. JSCover also supports this format.
• Emma has an XML format that the Emma Plugin for Jenkins can consume.
• Visual Studio (MSTest) can generate .coveragexml files that the MSTest Plugin for Jenkins can consume. Report Generator can also consume this format and output human-readable reports in various formats. I found this unofficial XSD that might help.

I hope you will consider adding support for one of these to Chutzpah to make it easier to integrate with Jenkins and other tools.

Any updates on whether this issue will be implemented? If not, @mmanela, can you give us any hints on how to implement it?

I have not looked at it but it should not bee hard to do. Chutzpah has a bunch of transformers (https://github.com/mmanela/chutzpah/tree/master/Chutzpah/Transformers) and one just has to be written for a format that Jenkins would like.

Are you interested in helping?

Yes :) I have never made a big contribution to open source software though,
so I don't know how long it could take me.
