How to handle "all-tests-in-one-module"?

[Mark Raynsford]

Hello.

My Maven projects tend to be multi-module, and all tests are placed
inside a single "tests" module rather than having them spread all over
the project's modules. Here's a drastically simplified illustration of a
project (including the full output of "mvn clean verify"):

https://github.com/io7m/jacoco-20171030

The problem: The JaCoCo maven plugin skips its own execution because it
can't find a "classes" directory:

[INFO] --- jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.9:report (jacoco-report) @com.io7m.jacoco.20171030.tests ---
[INFO] Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing classes directory.

Is there some way I can tell JaCoCo how to find the rest of the
project's classes? Bear in mind that in my real projects, there may be
dozens of modules each containing classes.

Hi,

for this scenario we created the report-aggregate goal:

Thanks! I somehow overlooked that one. It appears to work! I've updated
the original example with it, for visitors from the future.
