Wondering if this is a bug?

[Juan Duran]

Hi all,

I am using Eclipse (4.32.0) on Windows with the EclEmma plugin v3.1.9. I'm running JUnit test cases that cover catch statements which invoke private methods.

I've noticed that the line that invokes the private method is highlighted in red, while the code in the actual private method shows green. Can someone confirm whether this is expected behavior?

Screenshot attached.

Thanks!

Hi,

this is a known limitation, see FAQ:

Source code lines with exceptions show no coverage. Why?

JaCoCo determines code execution with so called probes. Probes are inserted into the control flow at certain positions. Code is considered as executed when a subsequent probe has been executed. In case of exceptions such a sequence of instructions is aborted somewhere in the middle and the corresponding lines of source code are not marked as covered. 

Regerds,
