Problems with exclusions in cobertura-maven-plugin

[Ulrich Wolf]

Hello everyone,

i'm trying to exclude several files from the cobertura overview. These files
are containing GUI-code, which doesn't need to be tested.

My directory structure:
|-tld.example.project
|--tld.example.project.database
|--tld.example.project.gui
|---...
|---tld.example.project.gui.configuration
|----tld.example.project.gui.configuration.users
|----...
|--tld.example.project.logic

I'm trying to exclude tld.example.project.gui and all subpackages from
cobertura.

Thus I tried the following pom.xml according to the documentation and a lot
of blogs and forumposts in the web:

<project>
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<instrumentation>
<excludes>
<exclude>tld.example.project.gui.*</exclude>
</excludes>
<ignores>
<ignore>tld/example/project/gui/**/*</ignore>
</ignores>
</instrumentation>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>clean</id>
<phase>pre-site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>instrument</id>
<phase>site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>instrument</goal>
<goal>cobertura</goal>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
</project>

But this led to the same result as before I added the exclusions and
ignores. To dig to the cause, I switched on the debug-output:

[DEBUG] Setting context classloader for plugin to:
/plugins/org.codehaus.mojo:cobertura-maven-plugin:***@48/thread:main
(instance is:
ClassRealm[/plugins/org.codehaus.mojo:cobertura-maven-plugin:***@48/thread:m
ain, parent: ClassRealm[plexus.core, parent: null]])
[DEBUG] Config : <ConfigInstrumentation
basedir="C:\Stuff\eclipse\myproject\target\generated-classes\cobertura"
includes="**/*.class" />
[DEBUG] Basedir:
C:\Stuff\eclipse\myproject\target\generated-classes\cobertura
[DEBUG] Include: **/*.class
[DEBUG] Exclude:
**/*~,**/#*#,**/.#*,**/%*%,**/._*,**/CVS,**/CVS/**,**/.cvsignore,**/SCCS,**/
SCCS/**,**/vssver.scc,**/.svn,**/.svn/**,**/.arch-ids,**/.arch-ids/**,**/.DS
_Store

As you can see, nothing from the above rules gets excluded. I don't
understand why? What am I overseeing?

Thank you very much in advance!
Uli

Try moving the <configuration> from the <build> section to the
<reporting> section. As mentioned in [0], a build config does not affect
a reporting plugin execution.

Thanks for your reply, nice to know that! I thought that it would be the
other way round.

Now I've also tested that, but this doesn't change anything. I also tried
running cobertura separately from "site" as cobertura:cobertura, which
probably should use the <configuration> from the <build>-Section but the
output didn't change.

I also tried to exchange the notation of includes and excludes (dots &
slashes) and defining every sourcefile on its own, but all that didn't help.

Really odd behavior, I can't really see why this is happening...

Have you solved the problem? I have the same issue with Cobertura, I want to
ignore my data classes package. I've tried many combinations of
ignore/exclude, but no luck :)

I've checked the plugin sources available online and it looks to me, that it
never uses the ignores or exludes, just includes everything... Could I be
right? :)

Sorry, I was wrong, the configuration is loaded correctly, I see the
includes, ignores and excludes, but it seems like the ignores have no
effect. Now I am confused.

You are right, this problem was never solved...

Still looking for a solution, but haven't found one yet.

I followed the instructions here:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/cobertura-maven-plugin/usage.html
and it works.

My configuration:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<instrumentation>
<ignores>
<ignore>my.package.to.ignore.*</ignore>
</ignores>
<excludes>
<exclude>my/package/to/ignore/*.class</exclude>
</excludes>
</instrumentation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>

The "ignores" must contain dots, and the "excludes" - slashes.

Greetings to all.
