Three related fixes to how the build reports on its own tests.

The site's Surefire report counted zero tests. The eight surefire executions write into target/surefire-reports/<flavor>, while the report plugin scans target/surefire-reports itself. It also used the forking report goal, and in the forked lifecycle the first execution is configured with a mixture of the other executions' settings (Xerces added, Saxon excluded, failures ignored), so mvn test site ran a ninth, misconfigured test round that overwrote the real Saxon reports. Now report-only over the eight directories; failsafe-report-only keeps its own default.

The Android instrumented run never reached JaCoCo. The Gradle build now enables the Android Gradle plugin's androidTest coverage, pinned to the JaCoCo version the Maven build reports with, and the jacoco profile merges the resulting execution data into target/jacoco.exec before the site report. The merge sits in the site lifecycle only, so jacoco:check keeps measuring the JVM run alone and the minimums mean the same thing on every machine.

The coverage minimums were unreachable. mvn -Pjacoco clean verify violated five of the six rules on every JDK, because much of the library only runs on Java 8 or only on a device. They are now a point below what the weaker of a JDK 8 and a JDK 21 run reaches on its own.

Verified:

  • mvn -Pjacoco clean verify passes the coverage check on JDK 8, 11, 17, 21 and 25.
  • mvn clean test site runs each surefire execution exactly once; the report shows 1159 tests and the failsafe page its own 2.
  • The documented round trip (JAR on JDK 17, connectedDebugAndroidTest, JDK 8 pass, JDK 21 pass) clears every rule: instructions 97.99%, branches 96.74%, lines 97.94%, complexity 98.51%, methods 99.74%, classes 100%.
  • The Android suite is unchanged by the instrumentation: 259 tests, 0 failures.

Build and documentation only, no main code changes.

The site's Surefire report counted zero tests: the eight surefire
executions write into target/surefire-reports/<flavor>, while the report
plugin scans target/surefire-reports itself. List the eight directories.

Take the non-forking goals while here. The `report` goal forks the test
phase, and in the forked lifecycle the first execution is configured with a
mixture of the other executions' settings (Xerces added, Saxon excluded,
xpath3 skipped, failures ignored), so `mvn test site` ran a ninth,
misconfigured test round that overwrote the real Saxon reports.
`report-only` reads what the build produced instead. The directory list is
scoped to that report set so `failsafe-report-only` keeps its own default,
target/failsafe-reports.

The device suite in android-tests exercises the platform-parser paths no JVM
run reaches, but its results never reached JaCoCo: the Gradle build collected
no coverage, and nothing merged it into the Maven data.

Turn on the Android Gradle plugin's androidTest coverage, pinned to the
JaCoCo version the Maven build reports with so the on-device agent and the
report agree on the data format. The plugin instruments the whole test APK,
the library JAR under test included, and leaves one execution data file per
device under build/outputs/code_coverage.

Merge those files into target/jacoco.exec in the site lifecycle, so
jacoco:report shows the Android-only paths as covered. The merge stays out of
the default lifecycle on purpose: jacoco:check keeps measuring the JVM run
alone, so the coverage minimums mean the same thing whether or not a device
run is lying around. With no Android run in the tree the merge is a no-op,
and JaCoCo drops execution data whose class no longer matches, so a stale run
cannot inflate the numbers.

Document the round trip in the module README, along with the JDK 8 plus JDK
21 recipe that reaches the project's real coverage, and correct the
excluded-tag list while there: the suite runs the schema tests against the
Xerces on the androidTest classpath, and it is xpath that stays out, since
XPathFactory.newDefaultInstance has no Android fallback and the leak controls
expect an unconfigured XPath to fetch.

The minimums were unreachable: mvn -Pjacoco clean verify violated five of the
six rules on every JDK, because much of the library only runs on Java 8 (the
MethodHandle fallbacks, the absent newDefaultInstance and newNSInstance, the
pre-18 XPathFactory) or only on a device.

Measure what one runtime reaches and set each minimum a point below the
weaker of a JDK 8 and a JDK 21 run: instructions 94.02% and 95.89%, branches
88.59% and 89.67%, lines 94.78% and 95.51%, complexity 93.63% and 95.75%,
methods 96.57% and 99.21%, classes 97.14% on both. The check now passes on
JDK 8, 11, 17, 21 and 25, while a run accumulated across JDK 8, JDK 21 and
Android clears every rule by three points or more.

Hi @ppkarwasz
How is it that running more tests lowers the test coverage percentages?

I haven't tested extensively, but sometimes the results of previous tests are overwritten, while other times appended.

And of course a clean removes everything.

How is it that running more tests lowers the test coverage percentages?

Sorry, now I understand the question.

The values were lowered, so that a single build on any JDK passes them. This way if you run:

mvn -Pjacoco clean verify

the build passes and you don't need to run multiple -Pjacoco test on multiple JDKs, before you can run verify.

The values were lowered, so that a single build on any JDK passes them.

This is already the case in main, which is why we shouldn't need to lower them. This works for me now in main:

java8 && mvn && \
  java11 && mvn && \
  java17 && mvn && \
  java21 && mvn && \
  java25 && mvn && \
  java26 && mvn && \
  java27 && mvn && \
  java28 && mvn

where the javaNN are zsh aliases that use jenv to switch between Java versions (with the expected console logging on Java 28 of "Unsupported class file major version 72").

So what's going on that causes the numbers for you to fail?
