Maven with Cobertura and findbugs - tests are running twice - maven

So I have Jenkins with the Cobertura plugin installed. I have Cobertura and findbugs in the POM and my tests are running twice...
I assume that this is because Cobertura instruments the bytecode and this causes the tests to re-run, which isn't a bad thing I guess, since the instrumented isn't the same as non-instrumented code...but I would really like the tests to be run only once.
I have tried running them locally on commandline using these commands:
mvn cobertura:cobertura -Dcobertura.report.format=xml
mvn findbugs:findbugs -Dfindbugs.onlyAnalyze=true
mvn cobertura:cobertura -Dcobertura.report.format=xml findbugs:findbugs -Dfindbugs.onlyAnalyze=true
but I can't get the tests to run twice locally, where as on Jenkins the are running twice. I am not sure why this is happening and whether I could make it stop.
I am using Cobertura to generate reports for me...I assume that to generate them it needs to re-run the tests? But it doesn't make sense since they are already being run once.

We have faced the same behavior. It seems to be default behavior of Cobertura to rerun test cases for calculating coverage.
We switched to JaCoCo tool, which proved to be better . It does not re-run the test cases for coverage report.

Indeed you have to run tests twice with cobertura-maven-plugin (or use different profiles). This behavior is due to the fact that it runs Cobertura instrumentation in its own lifecycle and uses Cobertura executable instead of Cobertura API.
If you want to generate a Cobertura report while only running your tests once, you can give a try to the qualinsight-mojo-cobertura-core plugin. This plugin uses a different approach to run Cobertura instrumentation.
You'll find a documentation on the project's page: https://github.com/QualInsight/qualinsight-mojo-cobertura .
Note that this plugin has still some limitations, but it may be a viable alternative in your context.
Hope it helps !
Regards.

How to write a Maven plugin IT test that correctly fails its build, resulting in an overall pass?

When generating a skeleton Maven plugin from archetype, the new project includes a Maven project under the src/it directory. It is an integration it (hinted at by the it dir name) and fresh out-of-the-box it passes when run during Maven's integration-test phase.
There are nearly 10 such IT Maven projects, a subset of which intentionally result in BUILD FAILURE, and attendant verify.groovy scripts that ensure those builds fail for the correct reason. Ideally each IT test sub-build that fails for the correct reason results in that IT test passing, but by including any of these failing IT tests as part of the whole integration test suite causes the overall Maven run to fail as well, which is incorrect in my case.
How do I coax Maven to run those failing Maven sub-builds, ignore their build results, but honor the results of their Groovy verification scripts?
Edit: One IT test (disabled) is committed here.
If you like to write an integration test which is intended to fail as a result
you have to express this via the invoker.properties file like this:
invoker.buildResult=failure
The full description of the file can be found in the documentation.

How to include Unit and Integration test in Sonar Code Coverage

I am using below commands to build my maven code.
Compile-
-DargLine="-DDB_SERVER=localhost -DDB_PORT=5432 -DDB_NAME=sample -DDB_USER=sample -DDB_PASSWORD=sample -DDB_MAX_POOL=10" -Dcom.sample.redis=false clean compiler:compile
Unit-Test Analysis-
DargLine=-DDB_SERVER=localhost -DDB_PORT=1234 -DDB_NAME=sample -DDB_USER=sample -DDB_PASSWORD=sample -DDB_MAX_POOL=10 -Dcom.sample.redis=false -Dcobertura:cobertura-integration-test -Dcobertura.aggregate=false -Dcobertura.report.format=xml integration-test test
And using below sonar properties to capture xml to publish in sonar.
sonar.projectKey=sample
sonar.projectName=sample
sonar.projectVersion=$PipelineId
sonar.modules=admin,client-api,common,om,serviceproviders
sonar.cobertura.reportPath=target/site/cobertura/coverage.xml
sonar.sources=.
sonar.skipPackageDesign=true
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
Being Multi module the code coverage is showing only 9.4%. Am I missing anything. I don't see any error logs as well.How can I achieve the same using coverage tool like Jacoco.
SonarQube - Version 5.1.1 - LGPL v3
Maven has a lifecycle Maven Lifecycle where each of the targets includes the ones before it. e.g. "test" includes "compile", "integration-test" includes "test", etc. You generally need to only include the target at the tip of the lifecycle. e.g. "mvn test" means (compile AND run the tests).
I'm thinking you want to run the "mvn verify" goal, which is compile, run tests and integration tests, and then run verifications (coverage checks, etc). Cobertura has a plugin that should integrate with maven and tap into various goals to run its pieces at appropriate times. I'm guessing you are messing up cobertura by having multiple targets and trying to break it into pieces - i.e. overwriting the instrumentation or something.
Similarly, you might find using jacoco easier than cobertura. It hides the instrumentation, and integrates pretty seemlessly with maven.
Good luck.

How do I stop sonar running tests?

I'm looking at using Sonar to reduced the number of plugins I've had to install in Jenkins to get some decent code analysis (and sonar seems to do more and present it better). However when I kick of the sonar job the JUnit / Concordion tests are executed. I don't want these tests run as Jenkins is already executing the tests.
How do I stop the tests executing and just perform code analysis?
I've installed sonar 3.7.3 and executing using the Gradle sonar-runner plugin and specifying the :sonarRunner task.
I'm just facing the same issue and it seems that you can run :sonarqube -x test to avoid having tests run before.
You can set the sonar.dynamicAnalysis property to false. This will skip tests and only perform the static analysis part.
See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Analysis+Parameters#AnalysisParameters-OptionalParameters

How can I get maven to continue module builds after reaching surefire forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds threshhold

In a multi module mvn 3.0 build, I set forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds to one hour. If tests in module A hang, I hit surefire threshold which will fails the build and skips remaining modules. We use a junit timeouts which should kill hung tests prior to this but some scenarios encounter this problem. I'd like to keep my builds running while I investigate enhancements to our junit runner.
Current Command Line: mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore
How I can change the surefire timeout behavior to move to next module and continue the build?
Does anyone have tips for testing one's junit framework?
I was going to review the surefire project's integration tests for ideas for both items. I plan to have a junitsystest module which activated by a specific profile so I can test various problematic situations outside of my builds.
According to Mastering The Maven Command Line – Managing failures --fail-at-end or --fail-never will provide the desired results. Surefire timeout continues to be reported but doesn't halt the build.
Not recommending in the long run as it lengthens bad build times
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore --fail-never

emma-maven-plugin not honouring ordering of dependencies?

I have a Maven project where the order of the dependencies is important. Everything builds just fine. The tests run just fine.
Unfortunately, some of the unit tests break running 'mvn site' because we have emma-maven-plugin configured. The same unit tests also break when running 'mvn emma:emma'.
Is there any way to control the classpath which emma-maven-plugin uses, or to force it to use the dependency ordering specified in the project?
The emma-maven-plugin I'm using is org.codehaus.mojo:emma-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-3.
Thanks,
PS. I am aware of JaCoCo (jacoco-maven-plugin), and will get round to this is due course, but for now, I'm stuck with Emma
