Create separate report for each Gradle test task

[aansari15]

What is your use-case and why do you need this feature?
We currently have two Gradle tasks - test and integrationTest. These test tasks run in separate steps in our CI workflow. My use case is to generate a Kover report for each of these CI steps and upload them to Codecov. It should basically look like so:

• unit_tests CI step:
  • Run unit tests and generate coverage report from unit tests only
  • Upload this coverage report to Codecov
• integration_tests CI step
  • Run integration tests and generate coverage report from integration tests only
  • Upload this coverage report to Codecov

Describe the solution you'd like
I know that disabledForTestTasks.add("integrationTest") exists, but what I would like is to conditionally enable/disable coverage from a test task. So disable integrationTest when running the unit_tests CI step, and similarly disable test when running the integration_tests CI step

Hi,
for your case, you can make conditional inclusion of tests depending on the passed parameters.

e.g. if you add build script

kover {
    currentProject {
        instrumentation {

            if (hasProperty("unit_tests")) {
                disabledForTestTasks.add("integrationTest")
            }

            if (hasProperty("integration_tests")) {
                disabledForTestTasks.add("test")
            }
            
        }
    }
}

you may specify parameters in different CI builds: -Punit_tests or -Pintegration_tests

@shanshin thanks for the suggestion, works just as expected!

It could be worthwhile to add this to the official documentation as well, to help out others who may not be very well-versed with Gradle
