How to generate HTML from a lcov file on Windows via WSL?

Question

I am using Flutter to generate the lcov file and now I want to use WSL to generate the HTML file for reading the data. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

First of all, after generating the lcov.info files on windows you must replace all \ characters for / because linux can't understand the backslashes.

Then you can simply invoke the linux command for lcov generation through any windows terminal via:

wsl genhtml coverage/lcov.info -o coverage/output/

• You invoke this command inside the project you are working on.

• The first parameter coverage/lcov.info is the path for the lcov file.

• The second parameter -o coverage/output/ is the output folder where the html files will be placed.
