How can Kotlin operator functions be covered in test reports?

Since kotlinx-kover does not support instrumentation tests executed on Android device, I am still using a Jacoco gradle task for generating code coverages.

In this case, operator fun 's signature is marked uncovered by Jacoco, although the method body is being covered (see screenshot)!

How can I cover the method signature? Would there be any workaround to cover it?

Did you add unit tests for the suspend function?
afaik, when running the jacoco report, it takes the coverage for unit tests and not for the instrumented ones

Yes, it is configured to merge execution data for both unit and instrumented tests.

I guess coverage is just for unit test?

[Ali Kabiri]

@chanjungskim Good point, but that doesn't seem to be the case, since the existing coverage is also coming from instrumented tests.

If it helps, feel free to view/clone the project here:

You can run all the tests with coverage from commandline using:

bundle exec fastlane test

The HTML coverage file will be under following path:

library/build/mergedReportDir/jacocoTestReport/html/index.html

Problems are:
• Jacoco doesn't understand Kotlin magic, giving an incorrect coverage for Kotlin classes
• Kover does understand Kotlin magic, giving a correct coverage for Kotlin classes
and

• Jacoco can parse Android execution tests ("end to end" / "ui" / Espresso/Barista/younameit tests)
• Kover cannot (yet ! it's their target for 1.0 release) parse Android execution tests.

Thank you so much for clarifying the problem :)
I wish there could also be a workaround for it. 🙂
