How to get branch coverage using Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage

[groogiam]

I'm following this guide https://xunit.net/docs/getting-started/v3/code-coverage-with-mtp to obtain code coverage output / reports. This utilizes Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage. The generated reports don't seem to contain Branch coverage. You can see this in the screenshots of the post. Is there a way to get branch coverage? Thanks.

Branch coverage is present only in cobertura format. You need to specify cobertura as --coverage-output-format command line argument to generate a cobertura report. To do so please run this command

dotnet run --project Tests -- --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --coverage-output coverage.cobertura.xml

Thanks, I've updated the xUnit.net docs page to use Cobertura format by default. 👍🏼
