Jacoco and Unit Tests Code Coverage with android-gradle-plugin >= 1.1

Question

I recently started integrating android-gradle-plugin 1.1.0 in one of my projects. The project uses robolectric 2.4 to run unit tests.

It\'s

Answer 1

After the hassle I decided to create an open source Gradle plugin for that.

Root build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral() // optional if you have this one already
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.vanniktech:gradle-android-junit-jacoco-plugin:0.8.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.vanniktech.android.junit.jacoco'

Then simply execute

./gradlew jacocoTestReportDebug

It'll run the JUnit tests in Debug Mode and then give you the Jacoco output in xml and html form in the corresponding build directory.

It also supports flavors. Having 2 flavors red and blue those tasks would be created

• jacocoTestReportRedDebug
• jacocoTestReportBlueDebug
• jacocoTestReportRedRelease
• jacocoTestReportBlueRelease

Answer 2

I was facing exactly the same problem like you. Today I did completely removed android studio, android sdk, gradle. Then reinstall everything. After that, I just added inside the app build.gradle.

debug { testCoverageEnabled true } Then I run ./gradlew connectedChec. Everything is working perfectly. Android studio default Jacoco working fine for me. I think it is also possible to create a jacocoTestReport Task and then create code coverage.I don't know why gradle and android studio was not working previously.

Answer 3

Please create an example and I can take a look. I guess it's some missing path configuration.

• include all coverage files (*.exec)
• add all your source paths (module/src/main/java)
• add all class paths (module/build/intermediates/classes/debug)

here two examples how it could be look

• https://github.com/nenick/AndroidAppDevelopment/blob/master/Scripts/jacoco-coveralls-support.gradle

Answer 4

I was finally able to see my code coverage of JUnit tests with Android Studio 1.1.

jacoco.gradle

apply plugin: 'jacoco'

jacoco {
    toolVersion "0.7.1.201405082137"
}

def coverageSourceDirs = [
        "$projectDir/src/main/java",
]

task jacocoTestReport(type: JacocoReport, dependsOn: "testDebug") {
    group = "Reporting"
    description = "Generate Jacoco coverage reports after running tests."
    reports {
        xml.enabled = true
        html.enabled = true
    }
    classDirectories = fileTree(
            dir: './build/intermediates/classes/debug',
            excludes: ['**/R*.class',
                       '**/*$InjectAdapter.class',
                       '**/*$ModuleAdapter.class',
                       '**/*$ViewInjector*.class'
            ]
    )
    sourceDirectories = files(coverageSourceDirs)
    executionData = files("$buildDir/jacoco/testDebug.exec")
    // Bit hacky but fixes https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=69174.
    // We iterate through the compiled .class tree and rename $$ to $.
    doFirst {
        new File("$buildDir/intermediates/classes/").eachFileRecurse { file ->
            if (file.name.contains('$$')) {
                file.renameTo(file.path.replace('$$', '$'))
            }
        }
    }
}

and then within the build.gradle file of the module (I put it between android and dependencies):

apply from: '../jacoco.gradle'

Also in the defaultConfig block of android. I've added this (don't know if it is necessary, but I've got this from this blog):

android {
    defaultConfig {
        testHandleProfiling true
        testFunctionalTest true
    }
}

Enjoy.

Warning: This is a hack! Using your configuration above, I put together a hack to switch the android plugin between application and library depending on the build tasks chosen. This works well for me because I don't end up committing code with the application mode set.

// dynamically change the android plugin to application if we are running unit tests or test reports.
project.ext.androidPlugin = 'com.android.library'
for (String taskName : project.gradle.startParameter.taskNames) {
    if (taskName.contains('UnitTest') || taskName.contains('jacocoTestReport')) {
        project.ext.androidPlugin = 'com.android.application'
        break
    }
}

logger.lifecycle("Setting android pluging to ${project.ext.androidPlugin}")
apply plugin: project.ext.androidPlugin

...

apply plugin: 'jacoco'

configurations {
    jacocoReport
}

task jacocoTestReport(type:JacocoReport, dependsOn: "testDebug") {
    group = "Reporting"
    description = "Generate Jacoco coverage reports"

    classDirectories = fileTree(
            dir: "${buildDir}/intermediates/classes/debug",
            excludes: ['**/R.class',
                       '**/R$*.class',
                       '**/*$ViewInjector*.*',
                       '**/BuildConfig.*',
                       '**/Manifest*.*']
    )

    sourceDirectories = files("${buildDir.parent}/src/main/java")
    additionalSourceDirs = files([
            "${buildDir}/generated/source/buildConfig/debug",
            "${buildDir}/generated/source/r/debug"
    ])
    executionData = files("${buildDir}/jacoco/testDebug.exec")

    reports {
        xml.enabled = true
        html.enabled = true
    }
}

Let's hope the android tools team fixes this soon.

I setup my unit tests for gradle 1.2 using this blog post. Then I pieced together information I found here and elsewhere to add code coverage to independent modules instead of the whole project. In my library module build.gradle file, I added the following:

apply plugin: 'jacoco'

def jacocoExcludes = [
        'com/mylibrary/excludedpackage/**'
]

android {
    ...
}

android.libraryVariants.all { variant ->
    task("test${variant.name.capitalize()}WithCoverage", type: JacocoReport, dependsOn: "test${variant.name.capitalize()}") {
        group = 'verification'
        description = "Run unit test for the ${variant.name} build with Jacoco code coverage reports."

        classDirectories = fileTree(
                dir: variant.javaCompile.destinationDir,
                excludes: rootProject.ext.jacocoExcludes.plus(jacocoExcludes)
        )
        sourceDirectories = files(variant.javaCompile.source)
        executionData = files("${buildDir}/jacoco/test${variant.name.capitalize()}.exec")

        reports {
            xml.enabled true
            xml.destination "${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/${variant.name}/${variant.name}.xml"
            html.destination "${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/${variant.name}/html"
        }
    }
}

And in my project build.gradle file, I added common excludes:

ext.jacocoExcludes = [
    'android/**',
    '**/*$$*',
    '**/R.class',
    '**/R$*.class',
    '**/BuildConfig.*',
    '**/Manifest*.*',
    '**/*Service.*'
]

Also, it looks like code coverage for unit tests may be coming built in in the future Issue 144664
