Can you use Jacoco prepare-agent with maven without installing the jacoco agent on the remote server first?

[kry...@gmail.com]

Is it possible to use jacoco plugin with maven, and a goal like prepare-agent which will then upload this agent through maven to the server and then dump the report into a local folder?

Or in all cases, to generate a report, do you need a jacoco agent running on the server side (remotely) to connect to locally with e.g. maven?

Hi,

the agent needs to be configured for the JVM where your code under test is executed. If this is on a remote server the jacocoagent.jar needs to be on that server and the server JVM must be started with the respective command line options.

Our Maven goal only supports configuration of JVMs startet within the local Maven build. Upload of the agent to a remote server is not supported by our built-in tools.
