Grails and distributed clover coverage

[Clark Wright]

We have a widely distributed build where we are successfully collecting coverage data on all the java classes.

We do this by copying the coverage db to where the tests are going to run, run them, and then copy the results back to a central location for latter reporting.

Works great.

Had a long conversation with Marek about it here:  https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/19146539

Except none of the coverage is showing up for the grails projects.

Turning on debug, verbosity and logging we get this when running the grails tests:

[exec] [clover-setup] globalSliceEnd(com.phoenix.mpm.command.PresenterCommandTests, 1082521, 1, null) [exec] [clover-setup] [flushed per-test recording (null) ]

[exec] [clover-setup] [flushed per-test recording (null) ]

[exec] [clover-setup] [flushed per-test recording (null) ]

 [exec] [clover-setup] [flushed per-test recording (/usr/local/litle-home/int13/output/clover/clover.db8ii7yywy1f2x_3b_q9w3f1_iecilapj.s) ]

Is the above expected?  The null per-test recording seems wrong.

When we generate xml and html reports, there are no signs of any of the grails classes.

Any ideas?

This is with Clover 3.1.12 and Grails 1.3.7 (groovy 1.7)

The beginning of running each test looks like this:

Hello, 

The null message isn't connected with coverage reporter but with per-test coverage. Are you using this feature or have you disabled it? What coverage reporter are you using? I suspect it's default Fixed but could you confirm that?

You're saying:

We do this by copying the coverage db to where the tests are going to run, run them, and then copy the results back to a central location for latter reporting.

Works great.

And line below:

Except none of the coverage is showing up for the grails projects.

Are you referring to two completely different projects or the project is mixed Java/Groovy(Grails) code ?

Could you attach here the file containing full debug log file with  clover.logging.level=debug ? If you're worried about confidentiality please rise an issue on support portal.

Cheers,

Grzegorz Lewandowski
