Generating a maven site including a Cobertura Report
Solution 1
I figured out how to do this.
It seems there are a lot of bugs in the link generation within the maven site generation plugin.
The only way I've found to make maven generate a local copy of the site with working module links is to modify the distributionManagement/site
tag to point to some local directory instead of the real-live deploy directory, then use maven site:deploy
.
Every attempt to use mvn site:stage
generates broken links. Same goes for mvn site:run
.
The report links work with mvn site:run
/ mvn site:stage
but the links to modules do not.
Solution 2
Should do:
mvn site
To elaborate, running mvn a:b runs the goal b in plugin a. Saying mvn c means to run the lifecycle phase c, which runs all of the bound goals in all of the phases up to c. As a result, this will trigger a lot more things to happen (such as doing the necessary preparation to produce cobertura reports).
Solution 3
mvn site
should do what you are looking for. You configure the plugin to run in the pre-site and site phases of the life cycle but your are then executing the site:run goal not site. We are doing similar things with clover (commercial coverage tool) and mvn site does the trick.
Solution 4
site:stage module links don't work in my experience either for multi module builds but site:deploy does. Try this:
Use a property for the site URL in the parent pom, e.g. ${site.url}
. Then call this
mvn clean site site:deploy -Dsite.url=file://`pwd`/target/site-deployed
The pwd
is a -nix
command that will substitute the current directory. This is because the URL that you use must be absolute.

I've got some projects that are already doing site generation via maven, and I want to integrate cobertura reports in them, but no maven goal I seem to run will generate a local preview for me to look at that includes the Cobertura reports in the site. I want to be sure they're generating correctly before I commit the pom changes to the repo and have broken site generated.
Below is what I've added to the maven poms (parent and module), but the site I see when I run
mvn site:run
does not include the cobertura reports:<project> ... <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <check> <haltOnFailure>false</haltOnFailure> <regexes> <regex> <pattern>parent-package-name-here.*</pattern> <branchRate>80</branchRate> <lineRate>80</lineRate> </regex> </regexes> </check> <instrumentation> <includes> <include>parent-package-name-here/**/*.class</include> </includes> </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>
What maven command should I use to generate the site with cobertura reports? Or, what should I add (additionally) to get the site generation to include the cobertura reports?
