generate coverage reports

## NAME

cobertura-report — generate coverage reports

## SYNOPSIS

**cobertura-report** \[**--datafile file**\]  --destination dir \[**--format html\|xml**\]  \[**--encoding encoding**\]  directory \[**--basedir dir**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**cobertura-report** generates coverage reports from the  source code directories and calculates the cyclomatic code complexity  of each class. The HTML reports are also made of annotated versions  of each source file, showing which lines of code were exercised.

## OPTIONS

- **--datafile file**

  Specify the name of the file containing metadata about your  classes. Default value: "./cobertura.ser".

- **--basedir dir**

  Specify a directory containing source code. All files listed  after this are assumed to be underneath this directory. This  should only be used if you want to include only a few specific  files underneath a source tree and exclude all other files.

- **--destination dir**

  Specify the output directory for the report.

- **--format xml\|html**

  The type of report you want to generate. Default value: html.

- **--encoding encoding**

  Specify the encoding used to read the source. See javadocs for  java.nio.charset.Charset for more details.
