I'm trying to create a jacoco report on my project. The project is in java 12 version and the jacoco-maven-plugin is on version 0.8.5.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>pre-unit-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>post-unit-test</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I launch a mvn clean site
mvn clean install site
And I obtain:
[INFO] --- jacoco-maven-plugin:0.8.5:prepare-agent (pre-unit-test) @ bowling-game ---

[INFO] Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.
I'm looking for the report but indeed it was not created, due to the following line:
[INFO] Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.
What I have forget ?
My project is write in java 12 version and I enabled preview feature like this.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.1</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>--enable-preview</argLine> <=== This line
</configuration>
</plugin>
The issue was that maven was not able to generate jacoco.exec.
I find the awnser thanks to @Jacek Laskowski with this comment https://stackoverflow.com/a/23605812/8591625
I just replace by
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.1</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>${argLine} --enable-preview</argLine> <=== Here I adding ${argLine} in order to not override argument
</configuration>
</plugin>
