How to skip jacoco coverage check during build?

Question

In our project we use jacoco-maven-plugin and during the build I get this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.8.5:check (jacoco-check) on project my-project: Coverage checks have not been met. See log for details. 

I know that it's better to fix coverage and so on. But sometimes I just need to quickly build a project. Is there some kind of parameter for this purpose? Like mvn clean install -Dskip.jacoco.check=true or other way to quickly skip this check?

Answer 1

As @wemu commented below OP u can use -Djacoco.skip=true command line option to skip Jacoco code instrumentation and coverage report generation temporarily. Examples:

mvn clean test -Djacoco.skip=true
mvn clean verify -Djacoco.skip=true
mvn clean package -Djacoco.skip=true
mvn clean install -Djacoco.skip=true

Answer 2

You can skip code coverage for some java files using pom.xml or else sonar-project.properties.

Ex: use the below plugin, give the packages of java files which does not require code coverage in the tag

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
    <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.5</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>default-prepare-agent</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>default-report</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>report</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>default-check</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>check</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>com/sbi/mdcm/v1_0_0/insurancequote/autogen/**</exclude>
                    <exclude>com/sbi/mdcm/v1_0_0/insurancequote_resources/autogen/**</exclude>
                </excludes>
                <rules>
                    <rule>
                        <element>BUNDLE</element>
                        <limits>
                            <limit>
                                <counter>COMPLEXITY</counter>
                                <value>COVEREDRATIO</value>
                                <minimum>0.80</minimum>
                            </limit>
                        </limits>
                    </rule>
                </rules>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
