Generating clover report on top level folder in a multi-module project

[vinny63]

I have a multi-module maven project and I am aggregating the cloverdb from all the sub-projects.Is it possible to execute clover2:clover just on the top level folder and not on all the sub-projects?

Hello @Vinayak Hegde,

Unfortunately there's not option for that. I've just created JIRA issue for that, you can track and vote for it here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOV-1749

But I found out some workaround, which includes profile usages. Please change your modules configuration in parent pom.xml such as:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>reportOnly</id>
		<!-- for this profile we don't want to have any modules -->
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>default</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <modules>
            <module>jar1</module>
            <module>jar2</module>
            <module>war1</module>
            <module>ear1</module>
<!-- all modules here-->
        </modules>
    </profile>

With such configuration please perform report generation in two commands:

mvn clover2:setup test clover2:aggregate

which will instrument code, generate coverage and aggregate results to the root project, and afterwards:

mvn clover2:clover -P reportOnly

which will generate reports only for root project, because within this profile there aren't any submodules.

Please, let me know if it works for you. 

Cheers,

Grzegorz
