Code Coverage : coverage.ec not generated on the device

Issues/Bugs
1

I’m following the documentation given here : https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/0.18.x/docs/en/android_coverage.md but I’ not able to do so as coverage.ec is not been generated. Please suggest since code coverage even lacks proper documentation . Logs coming in the appium are pasted below :

This method is for Emma code coverage tool . You may try using Jacoco for coverage

Hi,

I know this method is for emma . Since my android app code is also not on gradle so I might face issues with jococo too , Can you please let me know if there is any issue with the steps I have performed / given in the documentation?

Ok. if it is not on gradle is it using ant to build ?

If so try instrumenting your app using ant … from it’s root dir and use the resulting apk for testing
