Multi Module Maven Project Code Coverage Issue on Sonar

Question

I have a question related to multi module maven project with JaCoCo and SONAR.

I have a parent and 3 child modules.

parent |-child1 - pom.xml |-child2 - pom.xml |-child3 - pom.xml |-pom.xml

I include the JaCoCo plugin in the parent pom.xml. When I run the mvn clean install sonar:sonar build from parent pom.xml, I see that each child generates its own jacoco.exec file. Something like this child1/target/jacoco.exec, child2/target/jacoco.exec etc . However, there is no jacoco.exec been generated in the parent level.

When I run my sonar analysis, I see that the unit test coverage is showing up as 0.0% on the sonar dashboard.

My question is
1. What should I do to see the unit test coverage for the entire project?
2. To show the one unit test coverage, Does SONAR pick the jacoco.exec file from the parent level or from the child level?

Please help. This is really a road blocker for me. Appreciate all your inputs.

As I read it, you have a single parent POM that also contains a modules block, is that correct? — user944849
possible duplicate of How to configure multi-module Maven + Sonar + JaCoCo to give merged coverage report? — Fodder
Can you please share how you configured the jacoco-maven-plugin? It may have something to do with sonar.jacoco.reportPath. I guess it is not a duplicate since that issue tackles problems when tests from one module 'test' code in other modules. I had it setup for 'coverage per module' and it did show code coverage though only for each module and not combined. Another question, how are the jacoco.exec files big? — Ondrej Burkert

I was facing the same issue, then I included the following in each module pom xml and it worked:

<!-- Sonar START -->
        <sonar.java.coveragePlugin>jacoco</sonar.java.coveragePlugin>
        <sonar.dynamicAnalysis>reuseReports</sonar.dynamicAnalysis>
        <sonar.jacoco.reportPath>${project.basedir}/../target/jacoco.exec</sonar.jacoco.reportPath>
        <sonar.language>java</sonar.language>
        <jacoco.version>0.7.9</jacoco.version>
        <!-- Sonar START -->

Plugins :

<!-- SONAR config START -->
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
                <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                <configuration>
                    <destFile>${sonar.jacoco.reportPath}</destFile>

                <executions>
                    <execution>

                                <echo>Jacoco exec target path (WEB):: ${sonar.jacoco.reportPath}</echo>
                            </tasks>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2</version>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.7</version>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

                <configuration>
                    <argLine>${argLine}</argLine>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <!-- SONAR config END -->

And configure in Jenkins for "Goals and options" as:

sonar:sonar

For Running specific tests :

sonar:sonar -DfailIfNoTests=false -Dtest=<Test Class> test
