Couldn't understand how to use the plug in

[AviramZivGTH]

I've installed the extension to my vs-code.
But when I'm running my tests nothing happens. (I mean I don't see any inline coverage at all)
I understand that I should have an lcov style coverage file on my project, but I don't have it by default and
I didn't understand how to create\generate my own one. I believe the plugin somehow relay on this file.
My Projects are JAVA written in JAVA with TestNG (and not JUnit) so if there a specific way I should use I would love to get an instructions about it.
I used to work with eclipse and the plugin coverage there was "plug and play"....

Thanks!

@AviramZivGTH Thanks for submitting a discussion item!
Hmm sounds like you need a way to generate a coverage file for your java project. I assume you have looked at the example java project?

In terms of what coverage file to generate, the system can consume a variety of types and file options (lcov, xml, etc).

I believe jacoco is the most popular amongst java devs? See the link above with some tactics for generating this file, let me know if this gets you any closer!
