Hi,
As I already said: "NB platform support is under development, but I can't provide any schedule" ;)
May 6, 2014

I use NB almost daily and found your Jacocoverage plugin some time ago. It's a great plugin! I have used Jacocoverage lately a lot and I like it very much, it is very useful plugin, but adding these proposed features would increase its value even more.

1) Add support for running single test file with Jacocoverage
Now it is possible to do "Run With Jacocoverage" and "Test with Jacocoverage" and "Reset coverage data" when you hit 2. mouse button on top of your project.
Currently it is not possible to run single test file with Jacocoverage.
Can you add "Test file with Jacocoverage" command to popupmenu opening when hitting 2. mouse button on top of a single java test file?
In large project it is a great benefit if you can run a single test file instead of all files for updating your coverage data. Running all files might take too long time.

2) Reset coverage data only when user hits "Reset coverage data".
Now it seems that every time I hit "Run With Jacocoverage" the existing coverage data is deleted/reset.
It would be more usefull if user could do several "manual" test runs (i.e. "Run with Jacocoverage) and also run JUnit tests and all these tests (manual and JUnit tests)
were included into coverage data until user hits again "Reset coverage data".

3) Add support for depending projects / libraries.
Suppose that I have developed three libraries (lib A, lib B and lib C) and an application D. Lib A is called from lib B and application uses libs B and C.
Suppose also that I have JUnit tests for libs A, B, C and application D. Now I want to measure test coverage for application D and all the code it uses.
Currently it seems that only thing I can do is to run jacocoverages for lib A, lib B, lib C and application D.
These reports miss following coverages:
- lib A test coverage that is exectued when lib B calls lib A during lib B JUnit tests
- lib B test coverage that is exectued when application D calls lib B during application D JUnit tests
- lib C test coverage that is exectued when application D calls lib C during application D JUnit tests
- lib A test coverage that is exectued when application D calls lib B which calls lib A during application D JUnit tests
In my opinion, application D test coverage report should also include test coverages of all libraries it uses.

I hope that you can further develop these ideas into Jacocoverage very soon. I guess that atleast features 1) and 2) should be easy to implement, 3) might take more time.
Do you find these proposal useful / implementable and if yes when could we have them?


I have one problem with Jacocoverage. One of my java test files cause Java heap space java.lang.OutOfMemoryError every time I run it with "Test with Jacocoverage". Without Jacocoverage tests run OK. I have tried to modify project.properties by adding test.run.args=-Xms128m -Xmx2500m there but it does not help. Do you know what to do in this case?

I use NB8 and project builds are based on Ant.

Thank you for your help.

Is there any plan for supporting NB platform ?

In previous messages i have asked about NB platform support, and you said that it is in progress.

Is there any plan to support it,

I constantly asking about it, because actually we are desperate about finding a plug-in that can measure coverage of NB platform projects.

Thanks...

Do a right-clic on the project.

Hi,
The Alt+F6 shortcut doesn't launch Jacoco.
Please use the JaCoCoverage action menu to launch tests with coverage ;)

Unfortunately, NB platform projects are not supported yet.

Hi,
How to you launch tests? The plugin adds new actions to run test (or simply run the program) with code coverage.
See https://github.com/jonathanlermitage/tikione-jacocoverage/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md

Hi,
Maven support is under development.

EDIT: please check http://wiki.netbeans.org/MavenCodeCoverage
Maven projects are now supported by NetBeans & JaCoCo ! ;)

I appreciate your help on netbeans users, and contributions on netbeans code coverage issues.

This plug-in is very helpful on coverage and with better NB module&Maven support it will be great.

Thanks...

We are waiting a long time for this support. It is promised in 1.4 release. Is there any progress or ETA on this release?

Hi Jonnathan:
Excellent job; the "good ol' Code Coverage" was devouring one of my cores whenever I tried to check the coverage. The thing is, here at work we all use Maven projects. Is there a plan to add support for it? There are lots of Maven users that will benefit of it. I can help you to test it if you need, or even provide a patch or two on the weekends.

Hi,
this is a temporary problem.
Version 1.2.0 may be validated soon. It contains 4 NBM modules. Previous version is 1.1.1 and contains 3 NBM modules.
There is a bug in the PluginPortal infrastructure: it tries to publish the 3 updated modules from 1.1.1, but the 4th module from 1.2.0 is missing.
This issue will be automatically fixed with 1.2.0 validation.

Also, you have two solutions to install JaCoCoverage:
- download the plugin manually
- register the TikiOne JaCoCoverage update center into NetBeans (https://github.com/jonathanlermitage/tikione-jacocoverage/blob/master/README.md#download-stable-and-dev-builds): http://jacocoverage.tikione.fr/nbuc/updates.xml
