OpenCppCoverage Cannot find path for the handle

Question

I'm using a CI workflow with Jenkins.

A bat file is generated at the end of every compilation, which looks like this:

OpenCppCoverage -q --continue_after_cpp_exception  --sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch --modules D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\tests  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin  --export_type=binary:coverage_results_bfs_add_test_TESTTARGET.exe.cov -- D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\tests\Debug\bfs_add_test_TESTTARGET.exe
OpenCppCoverage -q --continue_after_cpp_exception  --sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch --modules D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\tests  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin  --export_type=binary:coverage_results_bfs_cluster_around_center_tests_TESTTARGET.exe.cov -- D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\tests\Debug\bfs_cluster_around_center_tests_TESTTARGET.exe
OpenCppCoverage -q --continue_after_cpp_exception  --sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch --modules D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\tests  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin  --export_type=binary:coverage_results_bfs_multiple_cluster_centers_test_TESTTARGET.exe.cov -- D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\tests\Debug\bfs_multiple_cluster_centers_test_TESTTARGET.exe
OpenCppCoverage -q --continue_after_cpp_exception  --sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch --modules D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\tests  --excluded_sources D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin --input_coverage=coverage_results_bfs_add_test_TESTTARGET.exe.cov --input_coverage=coverage_results_bfs_cluster_around_center_tests_TESTTARGET.exe.cov --input_coverage=coverage_results_bfs_multiple_cluster_centers_test_TESTTARGET.exe.cov  --export_type=cobertura:coverage_results.xml -- D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\tests\Debug\bfs_radius_test_TESTTARGET.exe

My test runs always fail due to an unambiguous bug in opencppcoverage: Error: HandleInformation.cpp:85 Cannot find path for the handle.The handle is invalid.

Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure
Skipping Cobertura coverage report as build was not UNSTABLE or better ...
Can you help me with this? The same script was working a month ago, now it doesn't. Is there something related to windows updates ? I've also looked at the source code, there's no such code at HandleInformation.cpp:85 that can cause an error like that. Is source code updated in the repository? 

---

I've installed the latest version, the problem persists.

Here's a quick project I've created to test the issue.

https://github.com/onatbas/OpenCppCoverageTestFail

I've included the verbose output.

I'm running Windws 7 x64. I don't have any antivirus software.

Thanks

Answer 1

Based on https://github.com/OpenCppCoverage/OpenCppCoverage/issues/84, it should be fixed in OpenCppCoverage 0.9.8.0.

Answer 2

Option one: You have to specify the full path for the .cov files argument for "--input_coverage". So your last line should look like this:

--input_coverage=D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\coverage_results_bfs_add_test_TESTTARGET.exe.cov
--input_coverage=D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\coverage_results_bfs_cluster_around_center_tests_TESTTARGET.exe.cov
--input_coverage=D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin\coverage_results_bfs_multiple_cluster_centers_test_TESTTARGET.exe.cov

Option two: at the top of your .bat file have cd to the bin file.

cd D:\Jenkins\workspace\bfsearch\bin

Answer 3

For me I was able to get around this issue by using a command prompt with that was run as Admin.
