Generating JSON reports
To generate a report using DCover CLI 3.0, your project must first be compiled. To do this, use a command such as:
mvn clean install -DskipTests
You can now generate the report and specify where it is created using the format:
--report=path/to/report.json
For example:
dcover create --report=*reportname*.json
or
dcover create --report=*path/reportname*.json
This generates a JSON-formatted summary report to the specified location.
For information on generating HTML reports, please see the page: Generating coverage reports.
