javaagent dumponexit option

[artko...@gmail.com]

Hi,

it's clear how default value (dumponexit=true) works, but what is expected behavior if set to false? I thought it should dump data in real-time, but got no output at all.

Hi,

good question: if dumponexit==false no coverage data is written at all
by the agent, unless it is requested through the remote protocol or the
runtime API. JaCoCo does not support "real time" coverage tracing.

Hi Marc,

Is there any sample on how to use the remote protocol to ask for dump?

Is it possible to ask for dump in the ReportGenerator.java file?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Luv,

there is: http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/java/ExecutionDataClient.java

Basically you replace the body of ReportGenerator.loadExecutionData() with the example code above.
