Description of the feature request:

https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/1118 and https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5246 mention having bazel coverage output Cobertura XML. What's the status of this?

I'd like to use bazel coverage with https://bazel.build/configure/coverage.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

Linux, Mac

What is the output of bazel info release?

release 5.3.0

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

No response

What's the output of git remote get-url origin; git rev-parse master; git rev-parse HEAD ?

Hello @noel-yap, Could you please elaborate your query with complete details. Thanks!

noel-yap commented 1 year ago

My query is about the status of the work to have bazel coverage output Cobertura XML. I've updated the query and provided answers to the other questions. Any other details I can provide?

There are currently no plans to add XML output support to Bazel; it may get some consideration in the future, but it would likely be just plugging in the genhtml step we advise in the documentation.

This would be a huge help for python developers! :)

The use case is to use Bazel with code quality tools such as Sonarcloud/SonarQube. Unfortunately, tools like Sonarcloud expect XML coverage reports for languages such as Python, Java and Scala as for those languages, it's the more common output option. Of course, for C and similar languages this might be different.

(Just for reference, here's what I am referring to: https://docs.sonarcloud.io/enriching/test-coverage/test-coverage-parameters/)

I'm re-opening this because of the discussion I started here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/discussions/19144

Is there any new progress on this issue? @c-mita

No.

I don't think Bazel will ever "operate" on or with XML files (it's not a good format for cross-language operations, merging across multiple runs, etc).

It's possible that we may one day bundle an "lcov to XML" converter, but it's a low priority.
