Alternative ways of running Coverage Reporter

The recommended way to run Codacy Coverage Reporter is using a self-contained script that automatically downloads and runs the most recent version of Codacy Coverage Reporter.

On Ubuntu, run:

bash <(curl -Ls https://coverage.codacy.com/get.sh)

On Alpine Linux, run:

wget -qO - https://coverage.codacy.com/get.sh | sh

The self-contained script is able to cache the binary. To avoid downloading the binary every time that the script runs, add one of the following directories to your CI cached folders:

• $HOME/.cache/codacy on Linux
• $HOME/Library/Caches/Codacy on Mac OS X

To use a specific version of the Codacy Coverage Reporter, set the following environment variable to one of the released versions:

export CODACY_REPORTER_VERSION=<version>

The sections below provide details on alternative ways to run or install Codacy Coverage Reporter.

CircleCI orb

If you are using CircleCI to report coverage, you can use our orb codacy/coverage-reporter.

GitHub Action

If you are using GitHub Actions to report coverage, you can use our GitHub Action codacy/codacy-coverage-reporter-action.

Community supported alternatives

Maven plugin

Thanks to the amazing job of Gavin Mogan you can now send your coverage to Codacy using his Maven plugin halkeye/codacy-maven-plugin! Be sure to follow the instructions on his repository.

Travis CI

If you are using Travis CI to report coverage, update your file .travis.yml to include the following blocks:

before_install:
  - sudo apt-get install jq
  - curl -LSs "$(curl -LSs https://api.github.com/repos/codacy/codacy-coverage-reporter/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets | map({name, browser_download_url} | select(.name | endswith(".jar"))) | .[0].browser_download_url')" -o codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar

after_success:
  - java -jar codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar report -l Java -r build/reports/jacoco/test/jacocoTestReport.xml

Make sure that you also set your project API Token as an environment variable in your Travis CI job.

Gradle task

A big shout-out to Tom Howard, who suggested a way to create a Gradle task.

task uploadCoverageToCodacy(type: JavaExec, dependsOn : jacocoTestReport) {
   main = "com.codacy.CodacyCoverageReporter"
   classpath = configurations.codacy
   args = [
            "report",
            "-l",
            "Java",
            "-r",
            "${buildDir}/test-results/jacoco/${archivesBaseName}.xml"
           ]
}

task (codacyDepsize) << {
def size = 0;
configurations.codacy.collect { it.length() / (1024 * 1024) }.each { size += it }
println "Total dependencies size: ${Math.round(size * 100) / 100} Mb"

configurations
        .codacy
        .sort { -it.length() }
        .each { println "${it.name} : ${Math.round(it.length() / (1024) * 100) / 100} kb" }
}

task (codacyLocs) << {
    configurations.codacy.each {
        String jarName = it
        println jarName
    }
}

The following Gradle task by Ramil Khamitov was based on the solution above.

configurations { codacy }
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    codacy 'com.codacy:codacy-coverage-reporter:latest.release'
}
task sendCoverageToCodacy(type: JavaExec, dependsOn: jacocoTestReport) {
    main = "com.codacy.CodacyCoverageReporter"
    classpath = configurations.codacy
    args = [
            "report",
            "-l",
            "Java",
            "-r",
            "${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/test/jacocoTestReport.xml"
    ]
}

Manually downloading the native Linux amd64 binary

If you prefer, you can manually download and run the native codacy-coverage-reporter binary, either for the latest version or a specific one.

You can use the scripts below to automatically check for the latest version of the binaries, download the binaries from either Bintray or GitHub, and run them.

Using Bintray:

LATEST_VERSION="$(curl -Ls https://api.bintray.com/packages/codacy/Binaries/codacy-coverage-reporter/versions/_latest | jq -r .name)"
curl -Ls -o codacy-coverage-reporter "https://dl.bintray.com/codacy/Binaries/${LATEST_VERSION}/codacy-coverage-reporter-linux"
chmod +x codacy-coverage-reporter
./codacy-coverage-reporter report

Using GitHub:

curl -Ls -o codacy-coverage-reporter "$(curl -Ls https://api.github.com/repos/codacy/codacy-coverage-reporter/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets | map({name, browser_download_url} | select(.name | contains("codacy-coverage-reporter-linux"))) | .[0].browser_download_url')"
chmod +x codacy-coverage-reporter
./codacy-coverage-reporter report

Manually downloading the Java binary

Use the Java binary to run Codacy Coverage reporter on other platforms, such as Linux x86, MacOS, Windows, etc.

You can use the scripts below to automatically check for the latest version of the Java binaries, download the binaries from either Bintray or GitHub, and run them.

Using Bintray:

LATEST_VERSION="$(curl -Ls https://api.bintray.com/packages/codacy/Binaries/codacy-coverage-reporter/versions/_latest | jq -r .name)"
curl -Ls -o codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar "https://dl.bintray.com/codacy/Binaries/${LATEST_VERSION}/codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar"
java -jar codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar report

Using GitHub:

curl -LS -o codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar "$(curl -LSs https://api.github.com/repos/codacy/codacy-coverage-reporter/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets | map({name, browser_download_url} | select(.name | endswith(".jar"))) | .[0].browser_download_url')"
java -jar codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly.jar report

Building from source

If you are having any issues with your installation, you can also build the coverage reporter from source.

1. Clone the Codacy Coverage Reporter repository:

   git clone https://github.com/codacy/codacy-coverage-reporter.git
   

2. Run the command sbt assembly inside the local repository folder:

   cd codacy-coverage-reporter
   sbt assembly
   

   This will produce a file target/codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly-<version>.jar that you can run.

3. Execute this .jar in the repository where you want to upload the coverage. For example:

   <path>/java-project$ java -jar ../codacy-coverage-reporter/target/codacy-coverage-reporter-assembly-<version>.jar report
