Jacoco task is skipped no matter what I do

Adding this to my build script:

apply plugin: 'jacoco'
jacocoTestReport {
    reports {
        xml.enabled true
    }
}

and running: gradle test jacocoTestReport

produces this result:

:jacocoTestReport
Skipping task ':jacocoTestReport' as task onlyIf is false.
:jacocoTestReport SKIPPED

I’m running gradle 2.2.1

My assumption is that you’re only running ‘jacocoTestReport’. You need to also run the test task: ‘gradlew test jacocoTestReport’.
