Diffblue Cover & Eclipse: Setup and Test Generation
Dcover Arguments:
create ${java_type_name} --class-name-template=$"{CLASS_NAME}Tests" --merge --skip-intermediate-test-verification --skip-test-validation --batch
Explanation:
--class-name-template=$"{CLASS_NAME}Tests"
Will use a class name template for standard Java test class naming conventions; this should be customized to match your test naming convention.
--merge
Will merge our Diffblue tests into your existing test classes instead of replacing them. Without this command, Diffblue Cover will overwrite all tests that match the name format specified using --class-name-template
--skip-intermediate-test-verification --skip-test-validation
Will ensure you always get all of the tests generated by Diffblue Cover. Any failing tests can be manually patched up, by default Diffblue Cover would have deleted these tests as you need 100% test success in a CI pipeline, but in an IDE these tests are valuable for a developer to manually repair.
--batch
Will reduce the console output to only warnings and errors
