Q: jQAssistant - generate report

Question

It is possible to generate two reports? I have one report for the test team with individual query. And I have have a second report for the development team with a different query.

All rules are located in the folder "jqassistant/myrule1.xml".

The report shows only one rule.

Is it possible to generate a second report via command line?

Answer 1

jQAssistant allows to define different groups including concepts, constraints or even nested groups. These can be used for different execution profiles, e.g.

 <group id="dev">
   <includeGroup refId="anyOtherGroup"/>
   <includeConstraint refId="naming:*"/>
   <includeConstraint refId="spring:*"/>
 </group>

 <group id="test">
   <includeConstraint refId="test:*"/>
 </group>

or in Asciidoc

[[dev]]
[role=group,includesConstraints="naming:*,spring:*",includesGroups="anyOtherGroup"]
== Development Rules

[[test]]
[role=group,includesConstraints="test:*"]
== Test Rules

These groups can be activated during execution, e.g. using the Maven plugin in a profile called dev:

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>dev</id>
    <build>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>com.buschmais.jqassistant</groupId>
          <artifactId>jqassistant-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>${jqassistant.version}</version>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <goals>
                <goal>scan</goal>
                <goal>analyze</goal>
              </goals>
              <configuration>
                <groups> 
                  <group>dev</group>
                </groups>
                <!--
                <reportProperties>
                  <asciidoc.report.directory>path/to/required/directory</asciidoc.report.directory>
                </reportProperties>
                -->
              </configuration>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </build>
  </profile>
</profiles>

The following command will execute this profile:

mvn clean verify -Pdev
