how to use jacoco.exec report

Question

I generated a code coverage report from jacoco, which is jacoco.exec. But I don\'t know how to use it ...

The way I generated it is through command line:

Answer 1

This answer would be similar to @Evans Y. One can generate HTML files (over here in report directory) and XML file (named as cov) with the help of below command from Jacoco documentation.

java -jar lib/jacococli.jar report jacoco.exec \
--classfiles C:\Users\severalOtherDirectories\YourProject\target\classes \
--html ./report --xml cov.xml

HTML Report: This report would be able to show total number of lines covered/uncovered at the Class or method level, but won't be able to show what actual line(s) are covered/uncovered in the same.

XML file: After plugging this generated file in the project and simply using VS code coverage extension (I prefer coverage gutters) , one can visualize line-by-line status in the editor itself.
