Question

Flexmojos currently freezes when I try to run a coverage report.

I’ve tried building the project as given in this post.

I’ve tried building the project with multiple versions of the flexmojos 4.0 beta. Using both the provided examples and my own attempts.

My current pom.xml file looks like this.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</project>

This just doesn’t work when the coverage line is uncommented. The following is the console output.

Terminate batch job (Y/N)? 

It always hangs on the last line.

Is there any known working examples of flexmojos using a coverage report?

Note
The repository has moved to github so the direct link in the article don’t work correctly. The repository is named flexmojos/flexmojos.

Other people have the same problem.

UPDATE: Velo just released 4.0-RC1 – coverage works out of the box. See the below for reference only – upgrade to 4.0-RC1 to avoid any hacks.

In 4.0-beta-7, coverage used apparat v1.0.RC7 and coverage was broken – hanging forever.

Velo upped the dependency on Apparat to version 1.0-RC9 (from 1.0.RC7) and everything seems to work. To try this in your version you can do the following:

Edit the flexmojos-parent.pom (from org.sonatype.flexmojos.flexmojos-parent in your .m2 repo) and switch the version of Appart you see in there.

Of course, this isn’t a real solution – you’re just doing a workaround until the next version of Flexmojos is released. ( https://groups.google.com/d/topic/flex-mojos/hYo91mjazv0/overview )

The only other option in the meantime is to grab the latest FM source from GIT and do your own release build of Flexmojos from source (which takes a fair bit of work). Best resource I’ve seen on this is:
