COBERTURA-REPORT(1)

💖 COBERTURA-REPORT — bestie, it's giving coverage report energy

okay so real talk, this is the cobertura-report(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally the girl that turns your dusty source tree into a whole coverage glow-up. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cobertura-report — generate coverage reports. that's it, that's the vibe. slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cobertura-report [--datafile file]  --destination dir [--format
html|xml]  [--encoding encoding]  directory [--basedir dir]

yes bestie, that's the whole shape of it. --destination is the only one that's non-negotiable, everything else is optional but you want it, trust. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: cobertura-report generates coverage reports from the source code directories. and not just any reports — it also calculates the cyclomatic code complexity of each class, which is such a main character metric ngl. 🧚

and the HTML reports? they're not just numbers, they're annotated versions of each source file, showing which lines of code were exercised. so you can literally scroll through your own code and see which lines got the attention they deserved and which ones are sitting there unvisited like 🙈. iconic behaviour fr fr.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --datafile file — specify the name of the file containing metadata about your classes. default value: "./cobertura.ser". this is where your class lore lives, don't lose it 💀
• --basedir dir — specify a directory containing source code. all files listed after this are assumed to be underneath this directory. lowkey important: this should only be used if you want to include only a few specific files underneath a source tree and exclude all other files. so like, it's the pick-me option, but for files. use it on purpose. 🫶
• --destination dir — specify the output directory for the report. this one's required, bestie. no destination, no report, no vibes. ✨
• --format xml|html — the type of report you want to generate. default value: html. pick your fighter. 🥊
• --encoding encoding — specify the encoding used to read the source. see javadocs for java.nio.charset.Charset for more details. if your source files are speaking a different language, this is how you tell cobertura to learn it. 🌈
