# Android code coverage instructions

These are instructions for collecting code coverage data for android
instrumentation and JUnit tests.

## How JaCoCo coverage works

In order to use JaCoCo code coverage, we need to create build time pre-instrumented
class files and runtime **.exec** files. Then we need to process them using the
**build/android/generate_jacoco_report.py** script.

## How to collect coverage data

1. Use the following GN build arguments:

  ```gn
  target_os = "android"
  jacoco_coverage = true
  ```

   Now when building, pre-instrumented files will be created in the build directory.

2. Run tests, with option `--coverage-dir <directory>`, to specify where to save
   the .exec file. For example, you can run chrome JUnit tests:
   `out/Debug/bin/run_chrome_junit_tests --coverage-dir /tmp/coverage`.

3. The coverage results of JUnit and instrumentation tests will be merged
   automatically if they are in the same directory.

## How to generate coverage report

1. Now we have generated .exec files already. We can create a JaCoCo HTML/XML/CSV
   report using `generate_jacoco_report.py`, for example:

  ```shell
  build/android/generate_jacoco_report.py \
     --format html \
     --output-dir tmp/coverage_report/ \
     --coverage-dir /tmp/coverage/ \
     --sources-json-dir out/Debug/ \
  ```
   Then an index.html containing coverage info will be created in output directory:

  ```
  [INFO] Loading execution data file /tmp/coverage/testTitle.exec.
  [INFO] Loading execution data file /tmp/coverage/testSelected.exec.
  [INFO] Loading execution data file /tmp/coverage/testClickToSelect.exec.
  [INFO] Loading execution data file /tmp/coverage/testClickToClose.exec.
  [INFO] Loading execution data file /tmp/coverage/testThumbnail.exec.
  [INFO] Analyzing 58 classes.
  ```

2. For XML and CSV reports, we need to specify `--output-file` instead of `--output-dir` since
   only one file will be generated as XML or CSV report.
  ```shell
  build/android/generate_jacoco_report.py \
    --format xml \
    --output-file tmp/coverage_report/report.xml \
    --coverage-dir /tmp/coverage/ \
    --sources-json-dir out/Debug/ \
  ```

   or

  ```shell
  build/android/generate_jacoco_report.py \
    --format csv \
    --output-file tmp/coverage_report/report.csv \
    --coverage-dir /tmp/coverage/ \
    --sources-json-dir out/Debug/ \
  ```
