Enabling Gauntlet to Display Code Coverage

Gauntlet Diagnostics enables a Test To Code page in the Gauntlet Dashboard to display code coverage details. Using Gauntlet's Ant build process to get code coverage in your Java-compile environment requires that you modify the build.xml file to include the appropriate JVM attributes for the Ant task.

To enable the code coverage results to display in the Gauntlet Dashboard, do the following:

1. Open the build.xml file.
2. Add the following statement to the build file.
   

   <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${classes}" debug="true" debuglevel=”lines,source”>

3. Save your changes to the build file.

Note: The debuglevel setting (lines,source) is required by the Gauntlet opticc code to render the code coverage detail in the user interface. Gauntlet shows line coverage data in the Gauntlet Dashboard.
