What is it?

This enables coverage reporting showing lines not covered on each commit

Why you would use this

[Workplace with a million line codebase and 100s of developers working on it.]

Tech Lead: “We really want to get the coverage up on this codebase – more tests will give us more feedback about the code.”

Developer: “Well that’s lovely, but I really need to ship my feature – I’ll make sure my stuff is covered as best I can.”

Tech Lead: “Ok – how much coverage are you aiming for?”

Developer: “I’ll make sure the lines I touch have coverage.”

Tech Lead: “Ok – how will you measure that?” ….

Now obviously:

(a) this codebase is a candidate for modularisation and

(b) sonar does give you feedback on coverage at a commit level – but sonar doesn’t give you a way to know what the commit-level coverage is prior to pushing your changes. ie – if you’ve missed some coverage on the lines you’ve changed – there isn’t a way to know before pushing.

This change is trying to solve the problem of knowing “for the lines I have touched – what coverage have I got? What lines have I missed?”

How to setup and use in your project

Add the following into your pom.xml

<project>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.github.juliangamble</groupId>
                <artifactId>commit-level-coverage-report</artifactId>
                <version>1.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>post-unit-test2</id>
                        <phase>test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>report-on-commit-coverage</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <!-- Optional - sets the path to the file which contains the execution data. -->
                            <!-- <dataFile>${project.build.directory}/coverage-reports/jacoco.exec</dataFile> -->
                            <!-- Sets the output directory for the code coverage report. -->
                            <outputDirectory>${project.reporting.outputDirectory}/</outputDirectory>
                            <daysBackToCheck>100</daysBackToCheck>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

Then run this:

mvn clean test
