Code Coverage on New/Changed Code

Monitoring code coverage is crucial to understand the risks associated to making changes to an application. But when dealing with a big application with low coverage, you will also want to separate new code from old (based upon a given cut-off date) in order to track the new code which does not have any/enough unit tests. 

This feature is available since Sonar 2.7 and SCM Activity plugin 1.2.

Live examples

To see live examples, you can browse following projects on Nemo:

• Git - Sonar
• Subversion - Sonar Plugins
• CVS - Java Calendar Tools

Usage & Installation

1. Install from Update Center or download the JAR into the directory /extensions/plugins/
2. Restart Sonar
3. Define the SCM URL of your project (see SCM URL Format).
   Example for Maven pom.xml :

   <scm>
     <connection>scm:svn:http://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/scm-activity</connection>
     <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/scm-activity</developerConnection>
     <url>http://svn.sonar-plugins.codehaus.org</url>
   </scm>
   

   Or you can use Project Setting - SCM URL.
   Or specify it via property sonar.scm.url.
4. Go to Global/Project Settings
   1. Enable plugin. This plugin disabled by default, because can dramatically increase analysis time of your project
   2. Specify User (sonar.scm.user.secured) and Password (sonar.scm.password.secured) if needed; if specified then developerConnection will be used, otherwise connection
5. Launch a new quality analysis and the metrics will be fed

Known problems and limitations

Subversion "Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted"

Add following to .subversion/servers:

[global]
ssl-authority-files = /path/certificate.crt
ssl-trust-default-ca = yes

CVS anonymous access not working "org.apache.maven.scm.ScmException: password is required."

Try to set empty password for repository in .cvspass. For example :

/1 :pserver:anonymous@javacaltools.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/javacaltools A
