Does Clover work with IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2 ?

Also, and maybe as important, does Clover works for groovy with IntelliJ IDEA ?

thanks.

Hi Michele,

Regarding Groovy support in IDEA. Unfortunately, this is not supported. We have a feature request for this:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOV-939 

however, it's implementation is not planned in the foreseeable future. In the issue you can find an attachment with a prototype from my spike, you can play with it if you wish.

I would like to suggest a following workaround:

You can configure Clover in Maven pom.xml - it will support both Java and Groovy - and run Clover's goals from the 'Maven Projects' tab in IDEA and generate HTML report. 

This could be done with Ant and Grails integration too.

Cheers
Marek

Hi Michele, 

The latest Clover release, which is 4.1.1, has been tested against the latest IDEA version which was available at that time, which is IDEA 15. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CLOVER/Supported+Platforms.

Having said this, I ran Clover 4.1.1 with IDEA 2016.2 and did not notice significant problems. Do you have any?
We will officially support IDEA 2016.2 soon - the https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOV-1955 is already implemented and is scheduled for Clover 4.1.2. 

Cheers
Marek
