Output test coverage with clover + gradle

About this document

• I tried how to set when outputting test coverage with clover + gradle
• Used in Spring boot project

Repository

I left the contents created when I tried it in the following repository mitsuya-saida/clover-sample

Dependence

Try to output the coverage for the time being

Move for the time being

Write that it depends on build.gradle

Add gradle-clover-plugin to dependencies in buildscript as below

buildscript {
	dependencies {
		classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-clover-plugin:2.1.3'
	}
}

Addition of settings to apply plugin

apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.clover'

Added clover to dependencies

dependencies {
	clover 'org.openclover:clover:4.2.0'
}

Describe clover settings

clover {
	report {
		html = true
	}
}

The build.gradle finally completed by the project made with Spring boot is as follows

buildscript {
	ext {
		springBootVersion = '1.5.8.RELEASE'
	}
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
		classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-clover-plugin:2.1.3'
	}
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.clover'

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
	mavenCentral()
}

clover {
	report {
		html = true
		filter = 'main'
	}
}

dependencies {
	compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
	compileOnly('org.projectlombok:lombok')
	testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
	clover 'org.openclover:clover:4.2.0'
}

Write a suitable test

Please

Output coverage

The test is executed by the following command and the coverage file is output.

$ gradle clean cloverGenerateReport

View the output result

Since the html of the report is generated in the build result, look at it with a browser In the case of this project, it is located in the following path

clover-sample/build/reports/clover/index.html

Looking at the browser, it looks like this

Commentary

Around the clover settings

• If you just move it for the time being, the coverage will be output without any problem with only the contents set this time.
• By default, coverage is not output in html, so clover {report {html = true}} was set.

Commands provided by clover

The available commands are as follows

Filter the test target

Try excluding the main function, getters, and setters from coverage

Move for the time being

Output coverage by writing the following in the clover settings

clover {
	contexts {
		method {
			name = 'main'
			regexp = 'public static void main\\(String\\[\\] args\\).*'
		}
	}
	report {
		html = true
		filter = 'main,property'
	}
}

Output result

Commentary

• Here, I tried using the filter originally prepared by clover and the one that I set myself.
• If you make your own, you can use it by preparing a method in contexts
• See the official documentation (https://confluence.atlassian.com/clover/using-coverage-contexts-72548355.html) for a list of available filters.

Miscellaneous feelings

• I found it convenient to be able to filter without much setting
• Gradle plugin provided by Atlassian also exists, but this time it is alpha Did not use
• Since there were few examples of using gradle, I thought it would be troublesome at first, but the README of the plugin I used this time was easy to understand, so I could use it smoothly.
