Cobertura code coverage report for jenkins pipeline jobs

Question

I'm using the pipeline plugin for jenkins and I'd like to generate code coverage report for each run and display it along with the pipeline ui. Is there a plugin I can use to do that(e.g. Cobertura but it doesn't seem to be supported by pipeline)?

You should have provided more information. What programming language do you use? What build tool do you prefer? — luka5z
I have python, javascript and other sorts of projects and I have been using Cobertura on freestyle projects to display code coverage reports. However after switching to pipeline I don't get the post build UI to setup Cobertura for the project. — ebnius
Looks like there's an issue open against the Cobertura plugin here: issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-30700 — toast38coza

There is a way to add a pipeline step to publish your coverage report but it doesn't show under the BlueOcean interface. It will show fine in the normal UI.

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        ...
    }
    post {
        always {
            junit '**/nosetests.xml'
            step([$class: 'CoberturaPublisher', autoUpdateHealth: false, autoUpdateStability: false, coberturaReportFile: '**/coverage.xml', failUnhealthy: false, failUnstable: false, maxNumberOfBuilds: 0, onlyStable: false, sourceEncoding: 'ASCII', zoomCoverageChart: false])
        }
    }
}

Note that one of the parameters to the Cobertura plugin is the XML that it will use ('**/coverage.xml' in the example).

If you are using python, you will want to use something like:

nosetests --with-coverage --cover-xml --cover-package=pkg1,pkg2 --with-xunit test
