Question

We have project with following layout

1. parent
   • app
   • core
   • instrumentation

There is cobertura plugin in core module. I’m able to generate reports from command line no problem at all (XML and HTML) I’m even able to see them in workspace on Jenkins. However I’m not able to link these reports with Jenkins Cobertura plugin.
The default as per Jenkins documentation is

**/target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml

This doesn’t work due to reports generated in sub-module. I tried following

core/target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml
/core/target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml
**/core/target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml

Answer 1

OK, the problem is that I used cobertura plugin as

<build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
          <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.5.1</version>
          <configuration>
            <formats>
              <format>xml</format>
              <format>html</format>
            </formats>
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>

Instead it should be as

<build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.5.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <formats>
            <format>xml</format>
            <format>html</format>
          </formats>
          <check/>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>clean</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>cobertura</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin> 
  </build>

  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.5.1</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins> 
  </reporting>

After this I point Jenkins Cobertura plugin to core/target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml
