I have never used jacoco before.
Using Gradle 4.2
The build uses subprojects
There is subproject "application" and "application.test".
The later contains the unit tests.
project(":application.test"){
apply plugin: 'jacoco'
// ..
}
The i run gradlew cleanTest test jacocoTestReport
The unit tests are executed as usual.
In application.test/build/reports/jacoco/test/html/index.html
i find only an empty table (0 of 0 missed instructions
).
I found many hits related to android, but my project is not an eclipse plugin.
