I already described how to get integration test coverage into your Sonar when your application runs on Tomcat here. I came to a project that uses Cargo Maven plugin to deploy the app on a Tomcat for integration tests. I wanted to see how much these tests actually cover. The answer to that turned out to be 'not that much really' but I'd like to share with you how to adjust configuration of the Cargo Maven plugin to make it work with Sonar.
Let's go.Sonar properties
So in our case we have a multimodule Maven project. In order to collect usage over the project just set following sonar properties:The default configuration puts jacoco.exec in the target of a module. We want to collect code coverage over several modules (including cases when code from one module calls code from another module) so we have to put Jacoco output files up the folder hierarchy and configure Jacoco plugin to append to these files.
In order to collect integration test coverage from deployed app we configure the Jacoco offline instrumentation to get a WAR file with instrumented classes. Jacoco agent deployed along with the war can then collect coverage data to specified file.
Jacoco Offline Instrumentation
The Sonar profile which configures offline instrumentation in the main pom looks pretty much the same as in the previous blog post:
Cargo plugin
Cargo plugin needs to deploy jacoco agent jar along with the application WAR. It also needs to set system property for jacoco-agent.destfile so that the agent can write collected coverage data to it.
Then just run:
Enjoy!
