I am experimenting with using Jenkins with CakePHP as part of my push towards better CI.

I am using the following command for a build job step.

/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/src/abc/Console/cake testsuite -app 
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/src/abc app AllTests --log-junit 
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/build/logs/junit.xml --coverage-clover 
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/build/logs/clover.xml --coverage-html 
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/build/coverage

This generates coverage reports even for lib folder.

My questions are:

  1. Should I generate the coverage html pages for lib folder as well?
  2. If not, how do I turn it off?

My code is structured as:

build
src
   abc (this is the app folder)
   lib ( this is the Cake lib folder)
tests
   Test (this follows the Cake convention)

    The solution has 3 parts:

    1) create a phpunit.xml.dist inside the project root.

    build
    src
    abc (this is the app folder)
    lib ( this is the Cake lib folder)
    tests
    Test (this follows the Cake convention)
    build.xml
    phpunit.xml.dist

    2) create the following content inside the phpunit.xml.dist

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<phpunit>

  <filter>
    <blacklist>
      <directory suffix=".php">src/lib</directory>
    </blacklist> 
  </filter>

</phpunit>

    3) add in --configuration /path/to/phpunit.xml.dist to the command.

    In the example given in the question, this becomes:

    /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/src/abc/Console/cake test \
--app /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/src/abc app AllTests \
--log-junit /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/build/logs/junit.xml \
--coverage-clover /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/build/logs/clover.xml \
--coverage-html /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/build/coverage \
--configuration /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ABC-MASTER/phpunit.xml.dist

    For more information on how to use phpunit configuration file, look at this link. It will help to understand how to use the phpunit configuration file in particular the blacklist and whitelist section.
