Cover output formats

[christi...@gmail.com]

Hey All!

I've noticed that "go test -coverprofile ..." outputs coverage reports in a plain text format, and then there's tools under "go tool cover" to do some additional reporting and metrics on it, or generate the HTML site.

Does anyone know of a converter that would get the coverage metrics into a more standard format, such as gcov or xunit?  I'm looking to get our Go code coverage into Sonar for reporting metrics and quality gates.

Let me know!

Thanks,

Christian

Check these 3 tools which I use for test and coverage reports. 

github.com/jstemmer/go-junit-report

github.com/axw/gocov/gocov

github.com/t-yuki/gocov-xml

1st one generates junit format xml reports from the plain text output. I assume Sonar supports junit (directly or using plugins)

2nd and 3rd together generates coverage reports in Cobertura format. I assume this too is supported by Sonar (directly or using plugins)

I personally use these to track things in Jenkins CI.

Thank you!  I will try those and report back!

Did you manage to import the report in sonar? I'm really interested.

Hey,

Sorry for not reporting back!

Those tools worked great to get coverage metrics out of the standard coverage format that Golang produces.

But...

I was unable to get the metrics to be reported into Sonar, since Sonar ALSO needs a Golang plugin (which probably includes the Abstract Syntax Tree, etc), and according to them (I contacted their support team): "There's no support for Golang planned at this time"

On the bright side...

- The metrics generated by those tools CAN be consumed by a few Jenkins' plugins that read the formats that the tools can convert to (JUnit, etc), and report them on the project dashboard within Jenkins

- We opted to use Coveralls.io to do Golang coverage tracking, and used gocov (mentioned in this thread) and goveralls (https://github.com/mattn/goveralls)

Let me know if you have other questions!

Cheers,

Christian
