Grails 3: gradle-clover-plugin integration

Question

Has anyone had any success in integrating the gradle-clover-plugin with Grails 3? The closest I've got with build.gradle is:

clover {
    additionalSourceDirs = [new File("src/main/groovy"), new File("grails-app")] as Set
    additionalTestDirs = [new File("src/test/groovy/"), new File("src/integration-test/groovy")] as Set
    includes = ['/*.groovy', '/.java']
    testIncludes = ['/Spec.java']
    report {
        html = true
        xml = true
    }
}

grails test-app:

[clover-clean] Clover Version 3.2.0, built on October 21 2013 (build-908)

Clover appears to run but I do not get any reporting.

Nothing is created in C:\Users\abc3\MyApp\build/.clover; I do not have a .clover directory.

Grails Version: 3.1.10
Groovy Version: 2.4.7
JVM Version: 1.8.0_71

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've used the Gradle-Clover-Plugin for a Grails 3.2.4 application (which was using Gradle 3.0 wrapper). It is working, and all I did in the build.gradle file was:

First adding the classpath dependency:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-clover-plugin:2.1.0'
    }
}

Then applying the plugin:

apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.clover'

Then adding the clover dependency:

dependencies {
    clover 'org.openclover:clover:4.2.0'
}

Then adding some configuration:

clover {
    // Although Clover is now open source the plugin 
    // still expects to find the license file. 
    // Any file will work.
    licenseLocation = File.createTempFile('clover', '.license').absolutePath

    // This is neededed to see which tests targeted code
    // In this particular project I'm only using Spock
    // specifications
    testIncludes = ['**/*Spec.groovy']

    // I would like to have both html and xml report
    report {
      html = true
      xml = true
    }
}

And finally execute:

./gradlew cloverGenerateReport

The command did not work for me, looks like the tasks have changed in the latest plugin (2.2.1) to cloverGenerateReport and cloverAggregateReports https://github.com/bmuschko/gradle-clover-plugin#tasks — mbonness, May 17 '18 at 16:38

I could make it work with grails 3.3.2 and gradle 4.4, but It was a tedious task. This is what I did:

gradle.properties

grailsVersion=3.3.2 gormVersion=6.1.8.RELEASE gradleWrapperVersion=4.4 org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xms256m -Xmx2048m

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.clover'

dependencies {
    clover 'org.openclover:clover:4.2.0'
    ...
    compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.7'
    ...
}

sourceSets.main.output.classesDir = new File(buildDir, "classes/main")
integrationTest.testClassesDirs = sourceSets.integrationTest.output.classesDirs

clover {
    licenseLocation = File.createTempFile('clover', '.license').absolutePath             

    excludes = ['**/Application.groovy',     
                '**/BootStrap.groovy',
                '**/UrlMappings.groovy',
                '**/*GrailsPlugin.groovy',
                '**/*Mock.groovy',
    ]

    testIncludes = ['**/*Spec.groovy']
    report {
        html = true
        xml = true
    }
}

I hope it will help you.

The grails-clover-plugin works with Grails 1 and 2, which are based on Gant. The Grails 3 is based on Gradle, so the plugin is incompatible.

For Grails 3 I'd try to write a Clover-Gradle integration in the Gradle build script rather than trying to adopt the grails-clover-plugin.

Please have a look at the code snippet recently published on this page:
