Maven not running Jacoco during build

Question

I'm trying to uses Jacoco for code coverage but every time I run

mvn clean install

I receive the following message in the ouput log:

--- jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.9:report (post-unit-test) @ myDemo --- Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.

I tried the solution found here: Getting "Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file" upon executing JaCoCo? however adding {@argLine} didnt seem to help.

Here is my pom.xml file, any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71710864/how-do-i-get-jacoco-to-work-with-maven-and-junit-4-11 ... were you able to find a solution? — evvanerb, Apr 13 '22 at 23:09

Try Adding the below line in your maven jacoco plugin in your pom.xml.

 <configuration>
         <destFile>${basedir}/target/coverage-reports/jacoco-unit.exec</destFile>
         <dataFile>${basedir}/target/coverage-reports/jacoco-unit.exec</dataFile>
 </configuration>

You notice here, that i am providing the data-file location to jacoco.

I just tried adding this configuration element directly after the plugin's version element. I received the same log log message as before. – AFowler Apr 05 '17 at 17:17
