To use, add the following to your build.gradle file: Gradle 1.0-milestone-7 and later: buildscript { apply from: 'https://github.com/valkolovos/gradle_cobertura/raw/master/repo/gradle_cobertura/gradle_cobertura/1.0/coberturainit.gradle' } Gradle 1.0-milestone-6 and earlier: buildscript { apply from: 'https://github.com/valkolovos/gradle_cobertura/raw/master/repo/gradle_cobertura/gradle_cobertura/1.0-rc4/coberturainit.gradle' } ------------------------ This will add the 'cobertura' task to your project which instruments your code, executes your tests and outputs to build/reports/cobertura. To build from source: ./gradlew uploadArchives This will create a local jar which you can reference in your builds like this: buildscript { repositories { add(new org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.FileSystemResolver()) { name = 'local_cobertura' // or whatever you want to put here addArtifactPattern '${ cobertura project directory }/repo/[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]' // replace 'cobertura project directory' with real directory addIvyPattern '${ cobertura project directory }/repo/[organization]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml' } } dependencies { classpath 'gradle_cobertura:gradle_cobertura:1.0-rc4' } }
