jmhReport configuration cannot deal with JMH' default JSON file name and jmhReportOutput seems to be superfluous in the current implementation

[loxal]

I am not using the JMH Gradle plugin because it's (1) currently broken on Windows (2) is a superfluous layer of indirection that not really provide any additional value and (3) does not work with (at least) Kotlin.

Hence I am using vanilla JMH which works just fine without any JMH plugin and creates a jmh-result.json file in the projects root which I reconfigured to be put in build/jmh-results.json.

However this plugins seems to have problems with a dash inside the default file name which is jmh-result.json and creates a broken report when I use jmhResultPath = project.file("build/jmh-result.json").

Also it seems like jmhReportOutput must point to a folder that contains the JSON results file and cannot be just any folder under build/.

@loxal Thanks for trying at least! :)

So a few things...

• (1) Yeah didn't look into Windows builds... if you have a patch or more information on what is not working... appreciated!
• (2) The plugin does not feature the execution of JMH benchmarks.. It just generates a html report on an existing json result file. Users of the plugin are expected to have a already working JMH execution setup (since there are multiple ways on how to do that, e.g see https://blog.morethan.io/jmh-with-gradle-from-easy-to-simple-dc872d57cf7f)
• (3) Not sure if the Kotlin problem is based on (2). If not, let me know what is the problem!
• You are right, the '-' creates a problem in the report. Thanks for reporting, is just released 0.6.2.1 with a fix for this!
• I didn't have any problems with changing the jmhReportDir to the 'build' dir. If you still have, i would require more information!
