See the Usage page for complete details on how to use this plugin.
Version 2.5.0 now supports Gradle 4.0. In particular, the plugin has been enhanced to be aware of where Gradle 4.0 is putting class files. Prior versions of the plugin will run in Gradle 4.0, but it might not run correctly. See the CHANGELOG for more details.
Version 2.4.0 now builds under Gradle 3.2. It also introduces a change to the
way the auxiliaryClasspath is set up. Previously, if you wanted to add to
the auxiliaryClasspath, you would need to explicitly set all the elements.
Starting with version 2.4.0, you only need to specify the things you want to
add to the default auxiliaryClasspath. Thanks to @Frank667 for the contribution.
Version 2.3.2 Groups tasks better, and allows applying the plugin from settings.gradle and init.gradle
Version 2.3.1 fixes a minor issue with Android projects, with thanks to Adam Peck (@dampcake).
The Gradle Cobertura plugin now supports Android projects, with thanks to Gautam Korlam (@kageiit). It is worth noting that unlike Java projects, where plugins can be applied in any order, using this plugin on Android projects requires that the Android plugin be applied before the Cobertura plugin.
At long last, Cobertura has released version 2.1, with thanks to Dennis
Lundberg. As a result, the Gradle Cobertura plugin now uses version 2.1.1 of
Cobertura by default. This version should play better with Java 8 and fix
several of the issues users were having. As part of this release, I've bumped
the version of Groovy that the plugin uses. This can cause issues in Gradle
1.x. The workaround is to add
classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-backports-compat23:2.3.5' to the
buildscript dependencies.
This plugin was inspired by the Cobertura plugin by valkolovos and jvanderpol. This plugin is an improvement over the the original in a few important ways.
-
The biggest difference is that this fork of the plugin runs a Cobertura coverage report even if tests fail. If there are multiple test tasks, it will run the cobertura reports after the last test task that ran. Note that if there is a test failure other test tasks won't necessarily run. This is consistent with Gradle's behavior when running multiple testing tasks.
-
Per http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/is_the_new_plugin_extension_approach_the_way_to_go, I've replaced conventions with extensions.
-
This plugin supports Cobertura's coverage check and merge functions.
-
Version 2.0 works with Gradle 1.7 and above. Version 1.2 works with Gradle 1.0 through 1.6. They both take advantage of features introduced in Cobertura version 2.0.
-
I've worked a lot with build lifecycle to make sure that things only happen if they need to happen, and when they need to happen. For example, we only instrument code if the user wanted to generate coverage reports, and then it instruments right before the tests run so that time is not spent instrumenting if the build fails due to some earlier error.
-
This plugin is published and available on Maven Central, separating use of the plugin from the source tree on GitHub.
-
Most importantly, this plugin is clearly licensed as an Apache 2.0 licensed project so users can use this plugin as part of any project they are building.
This is still a work in progress. If anyone would like to help out, here are a few things I'm still trying to accomplish.
-
This plugin needs some robust unit tests. The testclient directory has a little java project that I use to manually test different scenarios, but we could really use some proper unit tests.
-
Did I mention testing? :-) As issues are resolved, it would great if I could have unit tests that made sure that things fixed for prior issues are still fixed. This is becoming more important as I do more work with multi project builds and multi language projects.
To build this plugin from source use the following command:
./gradlew install
This will create a local jar and put it in your local maven repository. you can reference it in your builds like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'net.saliman:gradle-cobertura-plugin:2.4.0'
}
}
