Clearing coverage highlighting in Eclipse

M

After running coverage reports in Eclipse (using cobertura or an EMMA plugin), my source code files get highlighted in green, red and yellow depending on which lines of code were covered by tests.

How can I clear this highlighting after I'm done?

Click the "Remove all Sessions" button in the toolbar of the "Coverage" view.

I can see "Coverage Session View" under eCobertura. Is that the view I am supposed to use? But I don't see "Remove all Sessions" button. Where can I find it? – Snowbird 15/3, 2012 at 5:20

No that view comes from another plug-in. You should use the view "Coverage". – Obeng 15/3, 2012 at 7:29

Is there more than one Cobertura eclipse plugin? In Eclipse Juno, with eCobertura 0.9.8.201007202152, the "Coverage session view" is the only coverage view I have, and there is no such button in that view. – Carlitacarlo 7/8, 2012 at 14:49

Same as James A Wilson. I can only find the eCobertura "Coverage Session View" and it only has one button, a button that opens a coverage session. Is eCobertura not updated for Juno, perhaps? – Skippet 13/9, 2012 at 14:41

See this for EclEmma plugin in eclipse eclemma.org/userdoc/coverageview.html – Epidiascope 5/10, 2012 at 1:54

Helpful Note: the "Remove all Sessons" button is the black double X -- like the one you click to close all consoles – Bisset 25/10, 2012 at 18:52

This answer is only valid for EclEmma. For eCorbertura, as soon as you edit the file the highlighting goes away. That's the only way I know how to remove the highlighting using eCorbertura. – Giuseppe 13/12, 2012 at 15:51

The color of these two buttons is ridiculous. I was sure they were grayed out. – Stairs 3/7, 2013 at 9:29

Remove Session is the little grey X button. it seems disabled but it's not in the coverage view when you see your test session. Also, in windows preferences, you can disable the default coverage automatically. – Crybaby 6/2, 2015 at 17:30

AFAICT, this completely deletes the information. You have to rerun the test to get it back. Is there a way to just hide it? – Rummel 2/3, 2015 at 20:30

If the Coverage view is not currently visible, it can be opened through Window -> Show View -> Other... and typing in Coverage and then clicking Java/Coverage. As mentioned by others, the Remove All Sessions button seem unpressable due to its color, but it can be pressed anyways. – Phatic 26/6, 2018 at 20:59

I had to open the Coverage View from Window -> Show View -> Other -> search for Coverage, and then press the "Remove all Sessions"-button. – Sivan 9/4, 2019 at 12:15

Thank you so much for this answer! This is super annoying when you first run across it. – Inoffensive 24/6, 2020 at 18:1

I actually mapped a key to it. There you need to know the full name indeed as Pieter12345 mentions: Remove All Sessions. – Hankering 13/9, 2021 at 9:30

as in 2023-R12 is hidden really good, cant find it. – Dunsinane 10/3 at 17:31

On 4.2 eclipse it seems to be impossible to remove the eCobertura highlights. Sadly eCobertura plugins seems to be not maintained anymore. However if you start writing into the class, its gone. So type a space, and then undo, and its gone.

Harbaugh answered 19/10, 2012 at 9:48 Comment(4)

Eclemma is maintained, but does not work properly with some unit testing framework features of Mockito and Powermock. So basicly it has problems with complicated classloading and code weaving (see for example code.google.com/p/powermock/issues/detail?id=402). Ecoberture works with such stuff as well (since it uses offline instrumentation), but its not (at least seems to be not) maintained anymore. – Dygert 19/11, 2012 at 13:10

@Shervin Clover is really good, but of course you have to pay for it. For personal development, I think EclEmma is sufficient. – Emmieemmit 9/3, 2013 at 19:18

For Clover you can hide the colors in the java editor by going to "Clover | Coverage Explorer" -> Coverage in Editors > Show None. Hides all red/green coverage areas in open Java editors. – Creight 5/12, 2014 at 14:21

Modifying a Java file removes the coverage highlighting, but only for that file. Other relevant java files continue to show highlighting. – Sexism 17/2, 2021 at 19:54

For people who are not able to find the coverage view , follow these steps :

Go to Windows Menu bar > Show View > Other > Type coverage and open it.

Click on Coverage.

To clear highlightings, click on X or XX icon as per convenience.

I found a workaround over on GitHub: https://github.com/jmhofer/eCobertura/issues/8

For those who don't want to click the link, here's the text of the comment:

Good workaround: Create a run configuration with a filter, that excludes everything ("*") and let it run just a single test. Name it "Undo coverage".

I did this and it worked quite well in Eclipse Juno.

Credit for this goes to UsulSK.

If you remove the coverage session, also the coverage coloring will disappear. For this, hit Remove Session or Remove All Sessions in the Coverage view's toolbar.

For those using Cobertura and only have the Coverage Session View like I do,just try closing Eclipse and starting it up again. This got rid of the highlighting for me.

Seems a bit crude. Isn't there any other way? – Sextuplicate 19/11, 2012 at 12:56

Restarting is not feasible.. if you are doing lot of testing with code coverage. – Histrionism 30/9, 2013 at 15:2

Added shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X C to Keybindings (Window -> Preferences -> filter for Keys) when 'Editing Java Source' for 'Remove Active Session'.

If you would like to remove active session/project/folder then you can follow

Click the "Remove Active Session" button in the toolbar of the "Coverage" view.

I have used the Open Clover Tool for the code coverage, I have also been searching this for a long time. Its pretty straightforward, in the Coverage Explorer tab, you can find three square buttons which says the code lines you wanted to display, click on hide the coverage square box and its gone. Last button in the image below:

Close the IDE and open it again. This works if you did not use any code coverage tools and have just clicked the basic "Coverage" icon in the IDE.
