Unable to generate jacoco.xml in correct format

SonarQube

#1

My project inherits from another project which sets these properties:

<sonar.jacoco.itReportPath>${jacoco.outputDir}/${jacoco.out.it.file}</sonar.jacoco.itReportPath>
<sonar.jacoco.reportPath>${jacoco.outputDir}/${jacoco.out.ut.file}</sonar.jacoco.reportPath>

and plugin section defined like :slight_smile:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
        <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${jacoco.version}</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>prepare-ut-agent</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase>process-test-classes</phase>
            <configuration>
              <destFile>${sonar.jacoco.reportPath}</destFile>
              <propertyName>jacoco.agent.ut.arg</propertyName>
              <append>true</append>
            </configuration>
          </execution>

due to the deprecated property in parent pom.xml, I am unable to generate the sonar coverage report.
So I try to override the settings in child pom.xml, by writing the below settings:

<jacoco.out.ut.file>jacoco.xml</jacoco.out.ut.file>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
    <sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths>${jacoco.outputDir}/${jacoco.out.ut.file}</sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths>

and in the build section:

<profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>coverage</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
      </activation>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
            <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
              <execution>
                <id>prepare-agent</id>
                <goals>
                  <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
                </goals>
                <phase>process-test-classes</phase>
                <configuration>
                  <destFile>${sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths}</destFile>
                  <append>true</append>
                </configuration>
              </execution>
            </executions>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
    </profile>

I am getting jacoco.xml file generated but in the binary format, not xml, which fails during reading.

Hi,

Generation of JaCoCo reports is out of scope for this community.
