Continue code coverage report using JaCoCo even when there are failed tests

I have a Java project in VS Code, and I am using Maven as my framework. I have JaCoCo set up to run code coverage reports for my unit tests. I run it using this command:

mvn jacoco:prepare-agent test install jacoco:report -X

However when there is at least one failed test, the code coverage report will not run:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.2.2:test (default-test) on project <REDACTED> There are test failures.
[ERROR] 
[ERROR] Please refer to <REDACTED>/target/surefire-reports for the individual test results.
[ERROR] Please refer to dump files (if any exist) [date].dump, [date]-jvmRun[N].dump and [date].dumpstream.

I've seen similar questions to this elsewhere, but most of them are for Android/Gradle or say to use -Djacoco.haltOnFailure=false

I tried the following command but this doesn't work either.

mvn jacoco:prepare-agent test install -Djacoco.haltOnFailure=false jacoco:report -X

How do I get JaCoCo to create the coverage report, ignoring failed tests?

Solution

  • Hi you can achieve this by adding -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true so your bash command will looks something like this -

    mvn jacoco:prepare-agent test -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true install jacoco:report -X

    By setting -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true Maven will continue with the subsequent goals even if there is a failure during test.

    I hope so it helps.
