Can I dump multiple exec files through Jacoco agent

[Imo]

Hi Jacoco team,

I am working with a web project running on a remote server, and I implement Jacoco in the project with maven. For the unit tests, I have already generate ut reports with the help of jacoco maven plugin. And the report can be viewed on the server side correctly.

Besides, I also have a automation test through restAPI on my local machine. In order to get coverage report of API test, I configured another jacoco agent running on the remote web server, so that I can dump the coverage report of the API tests also.

The two reports seem good now. The only problem is, can I dump the ut test report/exec file from the remote server to my local machine? I would love to merge these two into one and resolve it on my local machine.

Thanks for your time looking at my problem.

Hello,

to get a combined report you need to merge the exec files before you
create the report. To create this report you need all class files from
the client as well as from the server.

To get the exec file from the server there are two standard ways:

1) Copy the exec file created on the server with standard tools (http,
scp, ftp, file share ...)
2) Configure the JaCoCo agent in tcpserver mode and use the dump command
to retrieve exec files.
