Explanation

Fixes #5506
This PR addresses the issue where JaCoCo code coverage fails to capture execution flow interruptions. JaCoCo determines coverage using probes inserted after instructions; when execution is interrupted (e.g., by exitProcess(), assertion failures, or a break inside finally), the subsequent probes are never reached, causing executed lines to appear uncovered.

To resolve this without altering runtime behavior, the code has been restructured so JaCoCo can reach the probes before control flow interruptions occur:

  • exitProcess() calls: Extracted termination logic into helper functions that return Nothing. This allows the function call to complete and record the probe before the process exits. Updated in: RetrieveChangedFiles.kt, ComputeChangedFiles.kt, ComputeAffectedTests.kt, RetrieveAffectedTests.kt, and PinPasswordActivityPresenter.kt.
  • Assertion failure: In DataProviderTestMonitor.kt, an .also {} chain was replaced with a local variable assignment before the assertion, ensuring the probe executes before the assertion throws.
  • break inside finally: In SurveyProgressController.kt, the break was moved outside the finally block to allow JaCoCo to fully instrument the block while maintaining the same behavior.

At this stage, are we actually fully addressing #5506 @harshsomankar123-tech? All of the exit process changes are just refactors that presumably do not change the JaCoCo result, and the control flow change for SurveyProgressController was reverted (which makes me wonder if JaCoCo is wrong here, or we're interpreting the results incorrectly). Your PR description says these are all being fixed, but they aren't actually.

I think we need to understand precisely why JaCoCo isn't covering these and then understand how to fix them. I can see why the exitProcess one causes problems, and one easy way to work around that is to move all exitProcess calls to a helper class and prohibit using it directly (e.g. via a new file content regex check). This will isolate the missed coverage to a single class that we could, theoretically, make permanently exempt from code coverage because it will never need it. But that presumably won't 100% work because control is still being interrupted at the test level, so we probably need to also have a test-only version of the utility that's swapped out and probably should throw an exception or something.

As for the break case, that looks like it needs more investigation before we can consider it actually fully fixed.

I have two comments that I think need feedback before I dive deeper into this review. These patterns could work but I want to be sure they actually solve the underlying problem, first. If they do then I will add some more suggestions for how to introduce these patterns a bit more cleanly and consistently with the broader app codebase.

So for this and the controller: do these actually fix the JaCoCo issue? Given these methods are returning Nothing I'm wondering if they have the exact same outcome where JaCoCo can't properly handle the code coverage for them.

Can you clarify what was done @harshsomankar123-tech? My original comment was asking for clarity on whether this actually works for fixing the JaCoCo issue so I'm not really expecting a 'done' reply.

Instead, could you clarify how you validated that these new wrapper classes actually fix the problem?

@BenHenning Thanks for Support! PTAL
I really appreciate your patience. Apologies for the unclear explanation before, let me clarify how this works:

App Side (AppTerminationManager, previously TerminalController)
This fix relies on dependency injection. In production, AppTerminationManagerImpl calls exitProcess(0). In tests, we inject FakeAppTerminationManager, which throws an ExitException instead of terminating the JVM. Because of this:

  • The calling code (e.g., PinPasswordActivityPresenter.forceCloseApp()) is fully executed in tests
  • The test runner continues running, allowing JaCoCo to properly flush coverage data
  • The only uncovered part is AppTerminationManagerImpl, which is just a one-line delegation and is excluded from coverage

So effectively, the wrapper ensures that coverage is preserved for all calling code while isolating the unavoidable gap.

Scripts Side (ExitProcessWrapper)
Here, the wrapper isolates the exitProcess() call into a small, excluded file. The calling scripts (e.g., ComputeAffectedTests.kt) move exit logic into helpers like printUsageAndExit(): Nothing. This keeps any uncovered code limited to those small helper methods and the wrapper itself, both of which are excluded.

While this doesn’t completely remove the coverage gap, it keeps it contained only within exempted files.

Validation
I've verified that with these changes, the coverage gap is isolated solely to the exempted wrapper files. The calling code in the presenters now correctly records coverage in the CI reports, allowing the PR to meet the required thresholds.
Let me know if anything still feels off happy to dig deeper .
Thanks! Again

… termination and refactoring process exits

- Reverted break statement in SurveyProgressController.kt to ensure correct actor loop logic

- Refactored exitProcess usage in activity presenters and scripts, correctly utilizing TerminalController and ExitProcessWrapper

- Included TerminalControllerModule across all application component flavours

- Fixed FakeTerminalController line length

- Addressed lexicographical import sorting violations

Here & in other files: you're incorrectly changing the import order in a way I presumably expect will cause ktlint to fail. I'm not sure what linter you're using but you should only be using ktlint for final syntactical similarity with the rest of the project.

That's not really a good reason to add a test. We should add tests to validate the code being added is actually correct.

In this case it's completely fine to exempt an interface from needing tests (the idea is eventually these will never need tests and be automatically exempted but we haven't yet built that mechanism into the check).

Is it possible to test this by introducing a second process? I can see that potentially being quite tricky but we have done something like this for regular scripts per bundletool by actually duplicating the local Java classpath in order to be able to execute a particular script.

This is definitely quite different but I'm wondering if we could perhaps maybe introduce a main() function in the script that's run in a separate process and validated (perhaps it can print something to stdout to verify it ran or something before calling through to the controller).

Thanks @BenHenning For Guidance!
I agree the assertThat(controller).isNotNull() test wasn't meaningful. Since the implementation is a trivial one-line delegation to exitProcess(), I've removed the test and exempted the file instead. Testing it via a second process (as you suggested) is definitely possible but seems like overkill for a single line of code.

So this isn't really a 'controller' in the traditional sense per the codebase. It could be a manager, however. I suggest calling this 'AppTerminationManager' since that seems a bit cleaner.

Similarly, we probably never actually need to configure the exit code so I think we can just have a single method: forceCloseApp() that can call exitProcess under the surface as expected.

Took another pass @harshsomankar123-tech.

Did you test that these solutions actually solve the underlying JaCoCo issue? I don't see test variants actually being used in the affected tests so I'm not sure how it could be verified. We should be really sure that this works before continuing with the approach.

We are going to need a new regex pattern to check if exitProcess is used and, if it is, to suggest using either this or script variant. Only those 2 classes plus the regex checker's test (since a new test should be added to validate the pattern) should be exempted.

Per my comment about using a regex pattern to prohibit this elsewhere in the app we probably will need a separate method for this, as well. Perhaps forceCloseScript for parity with the other wrapper being added?
