I got a multi-module maven project on which i want to generate a jacoco report with the unit coverage. Currently i am using arqullian surefire and jacoco maven plugins, which both are defined in only one module. The tests run on a JBoss EAP 7.2
Although the jacoco report is generated, i always get a 0% coverage on all my test classes which are deployed as an archive org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.WebArchive on my JBoss server even though there are several methods covered by the Unit tests.
Important: Other unit tests performed without a deployment, do show some coverage on the report

On one of my configurations (not the above), i remember seeing a warning that the ${jacoco.agent} was not used. So i did comment it out again.
When running the mvn clean install goal, in my console logs i see following variables set to the surefireArgLine
[INFO] --- jacoco-maven-plugin:0.8.5:prepare-agent (pre-unit-test) @ alis-ejb ---
[INFO] surefireArgLine set to -javaagent:C:\\Users\\user\\.m2\\repository\\org\\jacoco\\org.jacoco.agent\\0.8.5\\org.jacoco.agent-0.8.5-runtime.jar=destfile=c:\\Projects\\Projectname\\ejb-module\\target\\coverage-reports\\jacoco-ut.exec
All my tests are executed normaly and i am able to generate a surefire report command with surefire-report that lists all the unit test executions. I am thinking if am missing a mvn goal for jacoco that calculates the coverage, but it looks that i am still missing something
Update 1: I start to believe that the issue is created due to the usage of Arquilian, and i should use the pre-integration-test phases instead. But not sure yet.
Update 2: I just noticed that for one of my Unit tests i see some coverage. The difference between this unit test and the rest is the one Class containing the tests of which a coverage as shown, are simple Unit tests, whereas for the rest of my Test classes on which i do not get a coverage report from Jacoco a org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.WebArchive deployment is created. Some more details on this. 90% of my tests, are of this structure. A webarchive is created and deployed on JBoss EAP 7.
