Problem getting dotCover reporting in TC without built in tools

Hello,

I'm attempting to run some dotCover reporting in Teamcity, but without using the built in tools.

The project is in .NET 4, uses nunit to run tests, and rake to run tasks.

I'm calling the dotcover (v. 1.2) executable with the analyse command, thus:

dotcover a /targetexecutable=$$path to nunit-console.exe$$ /targetarguments=$$path to a dll with nunit tests in it$$ /output=coverage.xml

When I run this locally from a command line, everything is as expected. I get test results and a coverage.xml file, which contain the expected information.

Then when checking code in and having Teamcity run the build, I setup a service message to import coverage data to Teamcity, as outlined here:

http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD6/Manually+Configuring+Reporting+Coverage

My service message looks like this:

"##teamcity[importData type='dotNetCoverage' tool='dotcover' path='path to that coverage.xml file']"

And when the build runs in Teamcity, I see no coverage tab (this is what i'm assuming I should see, please correct if wrong), and the relevant section of the build log contains this (full paths removed):

I'm not sure if I just haven't read the documentation closely enough, and that I need to getnerate something other than an xml output file so Teamcity can do it's work, but haven't been able to find anything on the documentation to answer this question so far - any help hugely appreciated.

Thanks.

Greg.

Hello Greg,

In the "path" key of the "ImportData" service message you should specify the path to the raw coverage snapshot, not to the coverage report. Snapshot is generated by the dotCover's "cover" command. So instead of "analyse" (a) command you should use "cover" (c) command:

dotcover c /targetexecutable=$$path to nunit-console.exe$$ /targetarguments=$$path to a dll with nunit tests in it$$ /output=coverage.dcvr

And your service message will look as the following: "##teamcity[importData type='dotNetCoverage' tool='dotcover' path='path to the coverage.dcvr file']"
TeamCity will create html and xml reports by the specified snaphot and put them to the "Hidden artifacts" (.NETCoverage folder).

Please let me know whether it helps.
Regards.
