Getting Started

Setup

Install the plugin by adding the following to project/plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.github.sbt" % "sbt-jacoco" % "<version>")

And then execute the plugin with sbt jacoco. This will instrument and run the unit tests and output the coverage metrics:

[info] ------- Jacoco Coverage Report --------
[info]
[info] Lines: 66.67% (>= required 0.0%) covered, 2 of 6 missed, OK
[info] Instructions: 83.54% (>= required 0.0%) covered, 13 of 79 missed, OK
[info] Branches: 0% (>= required 0.0%) covered, 0 of 0 missed, OK
[info] Methods: 57.14% (>= required 0.0%) covered, 3 of 7 missed, OK
[info] Complexity: 57.14% (>= required 0.0%) covered, 3 of 7 missed, OK
[info] Class: 50% (>= required 0.0%) covered, 2 of 4 missed, OK
[info]
[info] Check /home/example/jacoco-test/target/scala-2.11/jacoco/report for detailed report

A detailed HTML report will also be generated in the directory shown that includes line level details of coverage.

Setting Minimum Coverage Levels

Minimum code coverage levels can be defined so that the build will fail if the requirements are not met:

jacocoReportSettings := JacocoReportSettings()
  .withThresholds(
    JacocoThresholds(
      instruction = 80,
      method = 100,
      branch = 100,
      complexity = 100,
      line = 90,
      clazz = 100)
  )

If the coverage does not meet the thresholds defined the build will fail and the coverge message will highlight the failed thresholds:
