Does Clover work with PHP?

[Rohan Eldridge]

Does Clover work with PHP, I was under the assumption it works for Java/Groovy only?

It's just we were told at one point that Clover also works with PHP.

No. Atlassian Clover works with Java and Groovy only.

However, there is a "Clover PHP Plugin" which works with PHPUnit and which can generate code coverage report in the Clover-compatible XML format. Such XML file can be later used to display basic coverage metrics in a build summary in Bamboo, for instance.

See:

Thank you, but doesn't this mean code coverage won't work for php as xdebug seems to be lacking on the current Elastic Bamboo images?

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-12297

Or am I misintpreting things?

We tried running phpunit tests with the 'Generate code coverage report in HTML format' option enabled and got an error about xdebug being missing.

According to the BAM-12297 it seems that you'd have to use your own EC2 images.

OK, thanks for clarifying that.
