clover:snapshot

Full name:

org.openclover:clover-maven-plugin:4.5.0:snapshot

Description:

Saves a Clover snapshot to the filesystem. A clover snapshot must be saved after all tests have been run. It is used by subsequent invocations of clover:optimize to determine which tests get run. Therefore, this file must persist between clean builds. This is possible by using one of the following techniques: 1) set the 'snapshot' (-Dmaven.clover.snapshot) configuration to a location outside the target directory 2) leave the snapshot file in the default location 'target/clover/clover.db.snapshot' and do a clean build with the clover:clean goal. clover:clean will delete everything the clean plugin does, however will ensure that the snapshot file does not get deleted.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: test.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<cloverMergeDatabase> String - The location of the merged clover database to create when running a report in a multimodule build.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/clover/cloverMerge.db.
User property is: maven.clover.cloverMergeDatabase.
<cloverOutputDirectory> String - The directory where the Clover plugin will put all the files it generates during the build process. For example the Clover plugin will put instrumented sources somewhere inside this directory.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/clover.
<project> MavenProject -

The Maven project instance for the executing project.

Note: This is passed by Maven and must not be configured by the user.


Default value is: ${project}.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<cloverDatabase> String - The location of the Clover database.
User property is: maven.clover.cloverDatabase.
<debug> boolean - If you wish to enable debug level logging in just the Clover plugin, set this to true. This is useful for integrating Clover into the build.
Default value is: false.
User property is: maven.clover.debug.
<flushInterval> int - When the Clover Flush Policy is set to "interval" or threaded this value is the minimum period between flush operations (in milliseconds).
Default value is: 500.
User property is: maven.clover.flushInterval.
<forceSnapshot> boolean - If set to true, the snapshot will always be created. Otherwise, if a singleCloverDatabase is used the snapshot will only be created during the execution of the last module in the reactor.
Default value is: false.
User property is: maven.clover.forceSnapshot.
<license> String - The full Clover license String to use. If supplied, this certificate will be used over licenseLocation. NB. newline chars must be preserved. If not provided, Clover will use a bundled license key.
User property is: maven.clover.license.
<licenseLocation> String - A Clover license file to be used by the plugin. The plugin tries to resolve this parameter first as a resource, then as a URL, and then as a file location on the filesystem. If not provided, Clover will use a bundled license key.
User property is: maven.clover.licenseLocation.
<singleCloverDatabase> boolean - If true, then a single cloverDatabase will be used for the entire project. This flag will be ignored if a custom cloverDatabase location is specified.
Default value is: false.
User property is: maven.clover.singleCloverDatabase.
<skip> boolean - A flag to indicate not to run clover for this execution. If set to true, Clover will not be run.
Default value is: false.
User property is: maven.clover.skip.
<snapshot> File - The location to store the clover snapshot file. This file needs to persist between builds to enable Clover's build optimization feature. If not specified, the snapshot will be stored next to the cloverDatabase.
User property is: maven.clover.snapshot.
<span> String - (no description)
User property is: maven.clover.span.
<waitForFlush> boolean -

If true we'll wait 2*flushInterval to ensure coverage data is flushed to the Clover database before running any query on it.

Note: The only use case where you would want to turn this off is if you're running your tests in a separate JVM. In that case the coverage data will be flushed by default upon the JVM shutdown and there would be no need to wait for the data to be flushed. As we can't control whether users want to fork their tests or not, we're offering this parameter to them.


Default value is: true.
User property is: maven.clover.waitForFlush.
