To publish NCover reports, you need:

  1. Generate NCover SymbolModuleNamespaceClassMethod XML reports by using ncover.
  2. Add a Publish NCover Reports step in your configuration steps.

After doing this, QuickBuild will generate the NCover reports automatically.

Note
  • QuickBuild only parses the XML reports.
  • NCover version should be 3.0+
  • The NCover report type should be SymbolModuleNamespaceClassMethod

Generate NCover XML Reports

The NCover SymbolModuleNamespaceClassMethod XML reports can be generated from NCover command tool or msbuild or nant. Below we are using msbuild to generate the coverage report:

<UsingTask 
  TaskName="NCover.MSBuildTasks.NCover"
  AssemblyFile="C:\Program Files\NCover\Build Task Plugins\NCover.MSBuildTasks.dll" />
<UsingTask
  TaskName="NCover.MSBuildTasks.NCoverReporting"
  AssemblyFile="C:\Program Files\NCover\Build Task Plugins\NCover.MSBuildTasks.dll" />

<Target Name="Coverage">
  <NCover ToolPath="C:\Program Files\NCover\"
      TestRunnerExe="$(NUnitPath)\nunit-console.exe"
      TestRunnerArgs="TestAssembly1.dll TestRunner2.dll"
      CoverageFile="Coverage.xml"/>
</Target>

<PropertyGroup>
    <Reports>
        <Report>
            <ReportType>SymbolModuleNamespaceClassMethod</ReportType>
            <Format>Xml</Format>
            <OutputPath>$(outputDir)\smncm.xml</OutputPath>
        </Report>
    </Reports>
</PropertyGroup>

<Target Name="CreateCoverageReports">
    <NCoverReporting ToolPath="C:\Program Files\NCover\"
        CoverageDataPaths="Coverage.xml"
        OutputReport="$(Reports)"
    />
</Target>

Publish NCover Reports

Just like all other build reports, you add NCover report by adding a publish step in a configuration. When you add publish NCover Report step, the following screen will be displayed:
Unable to render embedded object: File (report_publish_step.png) not found.

In Report Files/Patterns field, QuickBuild uses Ant style file patterns to collect the reports, and the directory you specified is relative to the workspace directory.

If you have several report sets, you can add several publish NCover steps with different report set names.
