                              threshold. Results with a score of 0 are only

Setting any of these options will result in test detection being bypassed.     
      --junit4tests=<jUnit4Tests>
                            JUnit4 or JUnit3 tests to be ran.
      --junit5tests=<jUnit5Tests>
                            JUnit5 tests to be ran.

Default Exporters

By default, Flacoco can output the results in the JSON and CSV formats.

The format is selected by using the --format option, followed by either JSON or CSV.

JSON example

[{"className":"fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator","lineNumber":15,"suspiciousness":1.0},{"className":"fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator","lineNumber":14,"suspiciousness":0.7071067811865475},{"className":"fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator","lineNumber":12,"suspiciousness":0.5773502691896258},{"className":"fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator","lineNumber":5,"suspiciousness":0.5},{"className":"fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator","lineNumber":6,"suspiciousness":0.5},{"className":"fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator","lineNumber":10,"suspiciousness":0.5}]

CSV example

fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator,15,1.0
fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator,14,0.7071067811865475
fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator,12,0.5773502691896258
fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator,5,0.5
fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator,6,0.5
fr.spoonlabs.FLtest1.Calculator,10,0.5

Custom FlacocoExporter

If the exporting options do not fit your needs, you can write your own FlacocoExporter and pass it to flacoco in runtime.

For example, below, we have implemented OneLineExporter, a FlacocoExporter implementation that writes the results all in one line:

import fr.spoonlabs.flacoco.api.result.FlacocoResult;
import fr.spoonlabs.flacoco.api.result.Location;
import fr.spoonlabs.flacoco.api.result.Suspiciousness;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.util.Map;

public class OneLineExporter implements fr.spoonlabs.flacoco.cli.export.FlacocoExporter {

	@Override
	public void export(FlacocoResult result, OutputStreamWriter outputStream) throws IOException {
		for (Map.Entry<Location, Suspiciousness> entry : result.getDefaultSuspiciousnessMap().entrySet()) {
			outputStream.write(entry.getKey() + "," + entry.getValue().getScore());
		}
	}

	@Override
	public String extension() {
		return "custom";
	}
}

To use this formatter in runtime, we can simply provide the path to the .java file to flacoco:

java -jar target/flacoco-1.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar -p "examples/exampleFL1/FLtest1/" --formatter "src/test/resources/OneLineExporter.java"
