SYNOPSIS
cobertura-instrument [--basedir dir] [--datafile file] [--destination dir] [--ignore regex] classes [...]
DESCRIPTION
cobertura-instrument inserts instrumentation
instructions directly into your compiled Java classes. When these
instructions are encountered by the Java Virtual Machine, the inserted
code increments various counters so that it is possible to tell which
instructions have been encountered and which have not.
OPTIONS
Classes may be specified individually, or as a directory tree containing multiple classes.
- --basedir dir
-
Specify the base directory containing the classes you want to
instrument. This command line parameter should appear before any
classes. If you are instrumenting classes in different directories,
you should specify multiple basedirs.
- --datafile file
-
Specify the name of the file to use for storing the metadata
about your classes. This is a single file containing serialized
Java classes. It contains information about the names of classes
in your project, their method names, line numbers, etc. It will be
updated as your tests are run, and will be referenced by the
Cobertura reporting command. Default value: "./cobertura.ser".
- --destination dir
-
Specify the output directory for the instrumented classes.
If no destination directory is specified, then the uninstrumented
classes will be overwritten with their instrumented counterparts.
- --ignore regex
- Specify a regular expression to filter out certain lines of your source code. This is useful for ignoring logging statements, for example. You can have as many <ignore/> statements as you want. By default no files are ignored.
