Release Notes
nedbat/coveragepy (coverage)
v7.3.1
-
The semantics of stars in file patterns has been clarified in the docs. A leading or trailing star matches any number of path components, like a double star would. This is different than the behavior of a star in the middle of a pattern. This discrepancy was
identified by Sviatoslav Sydorenko <starbad_>
*, whoprovided patient detailed diagnosis <pull 1650_>
* and graciously agreed to a pragmatic resolution. -
The API docs were missing from the last version. They are now
restored <apidocs_>

v7.3.0
-
Added a :meth:
.Coverage.collect
context manager to start and stop coverage data collection. -
Dropped support for Python 3.7.
-
Fix: in unusual circumstances, SQLite cannot be set to asynchronous mode. Coverage.py would fail with the error
Safety level may not be changed inside a transaction.
This is now avoided, closingissue 1646
_. Thanks to Michael Bell for the detailed bug report. -
Docs: examples of configuration files now include separate examples for the different syntaxes: .coveragerc, pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, and tox.ini.
-
Fix: added
nosemgrep
comments to our JavaScript code so that semgrep-based SAST security checks won't raise false alarms about security problems that aren't problems. -
Added a CITATION.cff file, thanks to
Ken Schackart <pull 1641_>

v7.2.7
-
Fix: reverted a
change from 6.4.3 <pull 1347_>
_ that helped Cython, but also increased the size of data files when using dynamic contexts, as described in the now-fixedissue 1586
*. The problem is now avoided due to a recent change (issue 1538
*). Thanks toAnders Kaseorg <pull 1629_>
_ and David Szotten for persisting with problem reports and detailed diagnoses. -
Wheels are now provided for CPython 3.12.

v7.2.6
-
Fix: the
lcov
command could raise an IndexError exception if a file is translated to Python but then executed under its own name. Jinja2 does this when rendering templates. Fixesissue 1553
_. -
Python 3.12 beta 1 now inlines comprehensions. Previously they were compiled as invisible functions and coverage.py would warn you if they weren't completely executed. This no longer happens under Python 3.12.
-
Fix: the
coverage debug sys
command includes some environment variables in its output. This could have included sensitive data. Those values are now hidden with asterisks, closingissue 1628
_.

v7.2.5
- Fix:
html_report()
could fail with an AttributeError onisatty
if run in an unusual environment where sys.stdout had been replaced. This is now fixed.
.. _changes_7-2-4:
v7.2.4
PyCon 2023 sprint fixes!
-
Fix: with
relative_files = true
, specifying a specific file to include or omit wouldn't work correctly (issue 1604
*). This is now fixed, with testing help byMarc Gibbons <pull 1608_>
*. -
Fix: the XML report would have an incorrect
<source>
element when using relative files and the source option ended with a slash (issue 1541
*). This is now fixed, thanks toKevin Brown-Silva <pull 1608_>
*. -
When the HTML report location is printed to the terminal, it's now a terminal-compatible URL, so that you can click the location to open the HTML file in your browser. Finishes
issue 1523
_ thanks toRicardo Newbery <pull 1613_>
_. -
Docs: a new :ref:
Migrating page <migrating>
with details about how to migrate between major versions of coverage.py. It currently covers the wildcard changes in 7.x. Thanks,Brian Grohe <pull 1610_>

v7.2.3
-
Fix: the :ref:
config_run_sigterm
setting was meant to capture data if a process was terminated with a SIGTERM signal, but it didn't always. This was fixed thanks toLewis Gaul <pull 1600_>
*, closingissue 1599
*. -
Performance: HTML reports with context information are now much more compact. File sizes are typically as small as one-third the previous size, but can be dramatically smaller. This closes
issue 1584
_ thanks toOleh Krehel <pull 1587_>
_. -
Development dependencies no longer use hashed pins, closing

.. _changes_7-2-2:
v7.2.2
-
Fix: if a virtualenv was created inside a source directory, and a sourced package was installed inside the virtualenv, then all of the third-party packages inside the virtualenv would be measured. This was incorrect, but has now been fixed: only the specified packages will be measured, thanks to
Manuel Jacob <pull 1560_>
_. -
Fix: the
coverage lcov
command could create a .lcov file with incorrect LF (lines found) and LH (lines hit) totals. This is now fixed, thanks toIan Moore <pull 1583_>
_. -
Fix: the
coverage xml
command on Windows could create a .xml file with duplicate<package>
elements. This is now fixed, thanks toBenjamin Parzella <pull 1574_>
*, closingissue 1573

v7.2.0
-
Added a new setting
[report] exclude_also
to let you add more exclusions without overwriting the defaults. Thanks,Alpha Chen <pull 1557_>
*, closingissue 1391
*. -
Added a :meth:
.CoverageData.purge_files
method to remove recorded data for a particular file. Contributed byStephan Deibel <pull 1547_>
_. -
Fix: when reporting commands fail, they will no longer congratulate themselves with messages like "Wrote XML report to file.xml" before spewing a traceback about their failure.
-
Fix: arguments in the public API that name file paths now accept pathlib.Path objects. This includes the
data_file
andconfig_file
arguments to the Coverage constructor and thebasename
argument to CoverageData. Closesissue 1552
_. -
Fix: In some embedded environments, an IndexError could occur on stop() when the originating thread exits before completion. This is now fixed, thanks to
Russell Keith-Magee <pull 1543_>
*, closingissue 1542
*. -
Added a
py.typed
file to announce our type-hintedness. Thanks,KotlinIsland <pull 1550_>

v7.1.0
-
Added: the debug output file can now be specified with
[run] debug_file
in the configuration file. Closesissue 1319
_. -
Performance: fixed a slowdown with dynamic contexts that's been around since 6.4.3. The fix closes
issue 1538
*. Thankfully this doesn't break theCython change
* that fixedissue 972
_. Thanks to Mathieu Kniewallner for the deep investigative work and comprehensive issue report. -
Typing: all product and test code has type annotations.

.. _changes_7-0-5:
v7.0.5
- Fix: On Python 3.7, a file with type annotations but no
from __future__ import annotations
would be missing statements in the coverage report. This is now fixed, closingissue 1524
_.
.. _issue 1524: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1524
.. _changes_7-0-4:
v7.0.4
- Performance: an internal cache of file names was accidentally disabled,
resulting in sometimes drastic reductions in performance. This is now fixed,
closing
issue 1527
_. Thanks to Ivan Ciuvalschii for the reproducible test case.
.. _issue 1527: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1527
.. _changes_7-0-3:
v7.0.3
- Fix: when using pytest-cov or pytest-xdist, or perhaps both, the combining
step could fail with
assert row is not None
using 7.0.2. This was due to a race condition that has always been possible and is still possible. In 7.0.1 and before, the error was silently swallowed by the combining code. Now it will produce a message "Couldn't combine data file" and ignore the data file as it used to do before 7.0.2. Closesissue 1522
_.
.. _issue 1522: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1522
.. _changes_7-0-2:
v7.0.2
-
Fix: when using the
[run] relative_files = True
setting, a relative[paths]
pattern was still being made absolute. This is now fixed, closingissue 1519
_. -
Fix: if Python doesn't provide tomllib, then TOML configuration files can only be read if coverage.py is installed with the
[toml]
extra. Coverage.py will raise an error if TOML support is not installed when it sees your settings are in a .toml file. But it didn't understand that[tools.coverage]
was a valid section header, so the error wasn't reported if you used that header, and settings were silently ignored. This is now fixed, closingissue 1516
_. -
Fix: adjusted how decorators are traced on PyPy 7.3.10, fixing
issue 1515
_. -
Fix: the
coverage lcov
report did not properly implement the--fail-under=MIN
option. This has been fixed. -
Refactor: added many type annotations, including a number of refactorings. This should not affect outward behavior, but they were a bit invasive in some places, so keep your eyes peeled for oddities.
-
Refactor: removed the vestigial and long untested support for Jython and IronPython.

.. _changes_7-0-1:
v7.0.1
-
When checking if a file mapping resolved to a file that exists, we weren't considering files in .whl files. This is now fixed, closing
issue 1511
_. -
File pattern rules were too strict, forbidding plus signs and curly braces in directory and file names. This is now fixed, closing
issue 1513
_. -
Unusual Unicode or control characters in source files could prevent reporting. This is now fixed, closing
issue 1512
_. -
The PyPy wheel now installs on PyPy 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9, closing
issue 1510

The JSON report now includes details of which branches were taken, and which are missing for each file. Thanks,
Christoph Blessing <pull 1438_>
*. Closesissue 1425
*. -
Starting with coverage.py 6.2,
class
statements were marked as a branch. This wasn't right, and has been reverted, fixingissue 1449
_. Note this will very slightly reduce your coverage total if you are measuring branch coverage. -
Packaging is now compliant with
PEP 517
*, closingissue 1395
*. -
A new debug option
--debug=pathmap
shows details of the remapping of paths that happens during combine due to the[paths]
setting. -

v6.4.2
-
Updated for a small change in Python 3.11.0 beta 4: modules now start with a line with line number 0, which is ignored. This line cannot be executed, so coverage totals were thrown off. This line is now ignored by coverage.py, but this also means that truly empty modules (like
__init__.py
) have no lines in them, rather than one phantom line. Fixesissue 1419
_. -
Internal debugging data added to sys.modules is now an actual module, to avoid confusing code that examines everything in sys.modules. Thanks,

Debug: added
pybehave

Fix: deadlocks could occur when terminating processes. Some of these deadlocks (described in
issue 1310
_) are now fixed. -
Fix: a signal handler was being set from multiple threads, causing an error: "ValueError: signal only works in main thread". This is now fixed, closing
issue 1312
_. -
Fix:
--precision
on the command-line was being ignored while considering--fail-under
. This is now fixed, thanks toMarcelo Trylesinski <pull 1317_>

Feature: Now the
--concurrency
setting can now have a list of values, so that threads and another lightweight threading package can be measured together, such as--concurrency=gevent,thread
. Closesissue 1012
_ andissue 1082
_. -
Fix: A module specified as the
source
setting is imported during startup, before the user program imports it. This could cause problems if the rest of the program isn't ready yet. For example,issue 1203
_ describes a Django setting that is accessed before settings have been configured. Now the early import is wrapped in a try/except so errors then don't stop execution. -
Fix: A colon in a decorator expression would cause an exclusion to end too early, preventing the exclusion of the decorated function. This is now fixed.
-
Fix: The HTML report now will not overwrite a .gitignore file that already exists in the HTML output directory (follow-on for
issue 1244
_). -
API: The exceptions raised by Coverage.py have been specialized, to provide finer-grained catching of exceptions by third-party code.
-
API: Using
suffix=False
when constructing a Coverage object with multiprocessing wouldn't suppress the data file suffix (issue 989
_). This is now fixed. -
Debug: The
coverage debug data
command will now sniff out combinable data files, and report on all of them. -
Debug: The
coverage debug
command used to accept a number of topics at a time, and show all of them, though this was never documented. This no longer works, to allow for command-line options in the future.

Fix: Complex conditionals over excluded lines could have incorrectly reported a missing branch (

Fix: Removed another vestige of jQuery from the source tarball (

Namespace packages being measured weren't properly handled by the new code that ignores third-party packages. If the namespace package was installed, it was ignored as a third-party package. That problem (
issue 1231
_) is now fixed. -
Packages named as "source packages" (with
source
, orsource_pkgs
, or pytest-cov's--cov
) might have been only partially measured. Their top-level statements could be marked as un-executed, because they were imported by coverage.py before measurement began (issue 1232
_). This is now fixed, but the package will be imported twice, once by coverage.py, then again by your test suite. This could cause problems if importing the package has side effects. -

method was documented to return a dict, but was returning a defaultdict. Now it returns a plain dict. It also no longer returns negative numbered keys.

v6.0.1
-
In 6.0, the coverage.py exceptions moved from coverage.misc to coverage.exceptions. These exceptions are not part of the public supported API, CoverageException is. But a number of other third-party packages were importing the exceptions from coverage.misc, so they are now available from there again (
issue 1226
_). -
Changed an internal detail of how tomli is imported, so that tomli can use coverage.py for their own test suite (
issue 1228
_). -
Defend against an obscure possibility under code obfuscation, where a function can have an argument called "self", but no local named "self" (

Changes to file pattern matching, which might require updating your configuration:
-
Previously,
*
would incorrectly match directory separators, making precise matching difficult. This is now fixed, closingissue 1407
_. -
Now
**
matches any number of nested directories, including none.
-
-
Improvements to combining data files when using the :ref:
config_run_relative_files
setting:-
During
coverage combine
, relative file paths are implicitly combined without needing a[paths]
configuration setting. This also fixedissue 991
_. -
A
[paths]
setting like*/foo
will now matchfoo/bar.py
so that relative file paths can be combined more easily. -
The setting is properly interpreted in more places, fixing
issue 1280
_.
-
-
Fixed environment variable expansion in pyproject.toml files. It was overly broad, causing errors outside of coverage.py settings, as described in
issue 1481
_ andissue 1345
_. This is now fixed, but in rare cases will require changing your pyproject.toml to quote non-string values that use environment substitution. -
Fixed internal logic that prevented coverage.py from running on implementations other than CPython or PyPy (
issue 1474
_).

v5.5
-
coverage combine
has a new option,--keep
to keep the original data files after combining them. The default is still to delete the files after they have been combined. This was requested inissue 1108
_ and implemented inpull request 1110
_. Thanks, Éric Larivière. -
When reporting missing branches in
coverage report
, branches aren't reported that jump to missing lines. This adds to the long-standing behavior of not reporting branches from missing lines. Now branches are only reported if both the source and destination lines are executed. Closes bothissue 1065

Minor improvements to the HTML report:
-
The state of the line visibility selector buttons is saved in local storage so you don't have to fiddle with them so often, fixing
issue 1123
_. -
It has a little more room for line numbers so that 4-digit numbers work well, fixing

The text report produced by
coverage report

*,issue 922
*,issue 732
_). -
The
skip_covered
andskip_empty
settings in the configuration file can now be specified in the[html]

v5.2.1
- The dark mode HTML report still used light colors for the context listing, making them unreadable (issue 1009). This is now fixed.
- The time stamp on the HTML report now includes the time zone. Thanks, Xie Yanbo (pull request 960).
v5.2
- The HTML report has been redesigned by Vince Salvino. There is now a dark mode, the code text is larger, and system sans serif fonts are used, in addition to other small changes (issue 858 and pull request 931).
- The
coverage report
andcoverage html
commands now accept a--precision
option to control the number of decimal points displayed. Thanks, Teake Nutma (pull request 982). - The
coverage report
andcoverage html
commands now accept a--no-skip-covered
option to negate--skip-covered
. Thanks, Anthony Sottile (issue 779 and pull request 932). - The
--skip-empty
option is now available for the XML report, closing issue 976. - The
coverage report
command now accepts a--sort
option to specify how to sort the results. Thanks, Jerin Peter George (pull request 1005). - If coverage fails due to the coverage total not reaching the
--fail-under
value, it will now print a message making the condition clear. Thanks, Naveen Yadav (pull request 977). - TOML configuration files with non-ASCII characters would cause errors on Windows (issue 990). This is now fixed.
- The output of
--debug=trace
now includes information about how the--source
option is being interpreted, and the module names being considered.
v5.1
- The JSON report now includes counts of covered and missing branches. Thanks, Salvatore Zagaria.
- On Python 3.8, try-finally-return reported wrong branch coverage with decorated async functions (issue 964). This is now fixed. Thanks, Kjell Braden.
- The get_option() and set_option() methods can now manipulate the
[paths]
configuration setting. Thanks to Bernát Gábor for the fix for issue 967.
v5.0.4
- If using the
[run] relative_files
setting, the XML report will use relative files in the<source>
elements indicating the location of source code. Closes issue 948. - The textual summary report could report missing lines with negative line numbers on PyPy3 7.1 (issue 943). This is now fixed.
- Windows wheels for Python 3.8 were incorrectly built, but are now fixed. (issue 949)
- Updated Python 3.9 support to 3.9a4.
- HTML reports couldn’t be sorted if localStorage wasn’t available. This is now fixed: sorting works even though the sorting setting isn’t retained. (issue 944 and pull request 945). Thanks, Abdeali Kothari.
v5.0.3
- A performance improvement in 5.0.2 didn’t work for test suites that changed directory before combining data, causing “Couldn’t use data file: no such table: meta” errors (issue 916). This is now fixed.
- Coverage could fail to run your program with some form of “ModuleNotFound” or “ImportError” trying to import from the current directory. This would happen if coverage had been packaged into a zip file (for example, on Windows), or was found indirectly (for example, by pyenv-virtualenv). A number of different scenarios were described in issue 862 which is now fixed. Huge thanks to Agbonze O. Jeremiah for reporting it, and Alexander Waters and George-Cristian Bîrzan for protracted debugging sessions.
- Added the “premain” debug option.
- Added SQLite compile-time options to the “debug sys” output.
v5.0.2
- Programs that used multiprocessing and changed directories would fail under coverage. This is now fixed (issue 890). A side effect is that debug information about the config files read now shows absolute paths to the files.
- When running programs as modules (
coverage run -m
) with--source
, some measured modules were imported before coverage starts. This resulted in unwanted warnings (“Already imported a file that will be measured”) and a reduction in coverage totals (issue 909). This is now fixed. - If no data was collected, an exception about “No data to report” could happen instead of a 0% report being created (issue 884). This is now fixed.
- The handling of source files with non-encodable file names has changed. Previously, if a file name could not be encoded as UTF-8, an error occurred, as described in issue 891. Now, those files will not be measured, since their data would not be recordable.
- A new warning (“dynamic-conflict”) is issued if two mechanisms are trying to change the dynamic context. Closes issue 901.
-
coverage run --debug=sys
would fail with an AttributeError. This is now fixed (issue 907).
v5.0.1
- If a 4.x data file is the cause of a “file is not a database” error, then use a more specific error message, “Looks like a coverage 4.x data file, are you mixing versions of coverage?” Helps diagnose the problems described in issue 886.
- Measurement contexts and relative file names didn’t work together, as reported in issue 899 and issue 900. This is now fixed, thanks to David Szotten.
- When using
coverage run --concurrency=multiprocessing
, all data files should be named with parallel-ready suffixes. 5.0 mistakenly named the main process’ file with no suffix when using--append
. This is now fixed, closing issue 880. - Fixed a problem on Windows when the current directory is changed to a different drive (issue 895). Thanks, Olivier Grisel.
- Updated Python 3.9 support to 3.9a2.
v5.0
-
The JSON report now includes details of which branches were taken, and which are missing for each file. Thanks,
Christoph Blessing <pull 1438_>
*. Closesissue 1425
*. -
Starting with coverage.py 6.2,
class
statements were marked as a branch. This wasn't right, and has been reverted, fixingissue 1449
_. Note this will very slightly reduce your coverage total if you are measuring branch coverage. -
Packaging is now compliant with
PEP 517
*, closingissue 1395
*. -
A new debug option
--debug=pathmap
shows details of the remapping of paths that happens during combine due to the[paths]
setting. -

v4.5.4
- Multiprocessing support in Python 3.8 was broken, but is now fixed. Closes issue 828.
python3 -m pip install coverage==4.5.4
v4.5.3
- Only packaging metadata changes.
v4.5.2
- Namespace packages are supported on Python 3.7, where they used to cause TypeErrors about path being None. Fixes issue 700.
- Python 3.8 (as of today!) passes all tests. Fixes issue 707 and issue 714.
- Development moved from Bitbucket to GitHub.
v4.5.1
- Now that 4.5 properly separated the
[run] omit
and[report] omit
settings, an old bug has become apparent. If you specified a package name for[run] source
, then omit patterns weren’t matched inside that package. This bug (issue 638) is now fixed. - On Python 3.7, reporting about a decorated function with no body other than a docstring would crash coverage.py with an IndexError (issue 640). This is now fixed.
- Configurer plugins are now reported in the output of
--debug=sys
.
v4.5
- A new kind of plugin is supported: configurers are invoked at start-up to allow more complex configuration than the .coveragerc file can easily do. See Plug-in classes for details. This solves the complex configuration problem described in issue 563.
- The
fail_under
option can now be a float. Note that you must specify the[report] precision
configuration option for the fractional part to be used. Thanks to Lars Hupfeldt Nielsen for help with the implementation. Fixes issue 631. - The
include
andomit
options can be specified for both the[run]
and[report]
phases of execution. 4.4.2 introduced some incorrect interactions between those phases, where the options for one were confused for the other. This is now corrected, fixing issue 621 and issue 622. Thanks to Daniel Hahler for seeing more clearly than I could. - The
coverage combine
command used to always overwrite the data file, even when no data had been read from apparently combinable files. Now, an error is raised if we thought there were files to combine, but in fact none of them could be used. Fixes issue 629. - The
coverage combine
command could get confused about path separators when combining data collected on Windows with data collected on Linux, as described in issue 618. This is now fixed: the result path always uses the path separator specified in the[paths]
result. - On Windows, the HTML report could fail when source trees are deeply nested, due to attempting to create HTML filenames longer than the 250-character maximum. Now filenames will never get much larger than 200 characters, fixing issue 627. Thanks to Alex Sandro for helping with the fix.
v4.4.2
- Support for Python 3.7. In some cases, class and module docstrings are no longer counted in statement totals, which could slightly change your total results.
- Specifying both
--source
and--include
no longer silently ignores the include setting, instead it displays a warning. Thanks, Loïc Dachary. Closes issue 265 and issue 101. - Fixed a race condition when saving data and multiple threads are tracing (issue 581). It could produce a “dictionary changed size during iteration” RuntimeError. I believe this mostly but not entirely fixes the race condition. A true fix would likely be too expensive. Thanks, Peter Baughman for the debugging, and Olivier Grisel for the fix with tests.
- Configuration values which are file paths will now apply tilde-expansion, closing issue 589.
- Now secondary config files like tox.ini and setup.cfg can be specified explicitly, and prefixed sections like [coverage:run] will be read. Fixes issue 588.
- Be more flexible about the command name displayed by help, fixing issue 600. Thanks, Ben Finney.
v4.4.1
- No code changes: just corrected packaging for Python 2.7 Linux wheels.
v4.4
- Wheels are now provided for Python 3.11.
.. _changes_6-4-3:
v4.3.4
- Fixing 2.6 in version 4.3.3 broke other things, because the too-tricky exception wasn’t properly derived from Exception, described in issue 556. A newb mistake; it hasn’t been a good few days.
v4.3.3
- Python 2.6 support was broken due to a testing exception imported for the benefit of the coverage.py test suite. Properly conditionalizing it fixed issue 554 so that Python 2.6 works again.
v4.3.2
- Using the
--skip-covered
option on an HTML report with 100% coverage would cause a “No data to report” error, as reported in issue 549. This is now fixed; thanks, Loïc Dachary. - If-statements can be optimized away during compilation, for example, if 0: or if __debug__:. Coverage.py had problems properly understanding these statements which existed in the source, but not in the compiled bytecode. This problem, reported in issue 522, is now fixed.
- If you specified
--source
as a directory, then coverage.py would look for importable Python files in that directory, and could identify ones that had never been executed at all. But if you specified it as a package name, that detection wasn’t performed. Now it is, closing issue 426. Thanks to Loïc Dachary for the fix. - If you started and stopped coverage measurement thousands of times in your process, you could crash Python with a “Fatal Python error: deallocating None” error. This is now fixed. Thanks to Alex Groce for the bug report.
- On PyPy, measuring coverage in subprocesses could produce a warning: “Trace function changed, measurement is likely wrong: None”. This was spurious, and has been suppressed.
- Previously, coverage.py couldn’t start on Jython, due to that implementation missing the multiprocessing module (issue 551). This problem has now been fixed. Also, issue 322 about not being able to invoke coverage conveniently, seems much better:
jython -m coverage run myprog.py
works properly. - Let’s say you ran the HTML report over and over again in the same output directory, with
--skip-covered
. And imagine due to your heroic test-writing efforts, a file just achieved the goal of 100% coverage. With coverage.py 4.3, the old HTML file with the less-than-100% coverage would be left behind. This file is now properly deleted.
v4.3.1
- Some environments couldn’t install 4.3, as described in issue 540. This is now fixed.
- The check for conflicting
--source
and--include
was too simple in a few different ways, breaking a few perfectly reasonable use cases, described in issue 541. The check has been reverted while we re-think the fix for issue 265.

Updated for a small change in Python 3.11.0 beta 4: modules now start with a line with line number 0, which is ignored. This line cannot be executed, so coverage totals were thrown off. This line is now ignored by coverage.py, but this also means that truly empty modules (like
__init__.py
) have no lines in them, rather than one phantom line. Fixesissue 1419

v4.0.3
- Fixed a mysterious problem that manifested in different ways: sometimes hanging the process (issue 420), sometimes making database connections fail (issue 445).
- The XML report now has correct
<source>
elements when using a--source=
option somewhere besides the current directory. This fixes issue 439. Thanks, Arcadiy Ivanov. - Fixed an unusual edge case of detecting source encodings, described in issue 443.
- Help messages that mention the command to use now properly use the actual command name, which might be different than “coverage”. Thanks to Ben Finney, this closes issue 438.
v4.0.2
- More work on supporting unusually encoded source. Fixed issue 431.
- Files or directories with non-ASCII characters are now handled properly, fixing issue 432.
- Setting a trace function with sys.settrace was broken by a change in 4.0.1, as reported in issue 436. This is now fixed.
- Officially support PyPy 4.0, which required no changes, just updates to the docs.
v4.0.1
- When combining data files, unreadable files will now generate a warning instead of failing the command. This is more in line with the older coverage.py v3.7.1 behavior, which silently ignored unreadable files. Prompted by issue 418.
- The –skip-covered option would skip reporting on 100% covered files, but also skipped them when calculating total coverage. This was wrong, it should only remove lines from the report, not change the final answer. This is now fixed, closing issue 423.
- In 4.0, the data file recorded a summary of the system on which it was run. Combined data files would keep all of those summaries. This could lead to enormous data files consisting of mostly repetitive useless information. That summary is now gone, fixing issue 415. If you want summary information, get in touch, and we’ll figure out a better way to do it.
- Test suites that mocked os.path.exists would experience strange failures, due to coverage.py using their mock inadvertently. This is now fixed, closing issue 416.
- Importing a
__init__
module explicitly would lead to an error:AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__path__'
, as reported in issue 410. This is now fixed. - Code that uses
sys.settrace(sys.gettrace())
used to incur a more than 2x speed penalty. Now there’s no penalty at all. Fixes issue 397. - Pyexpat C code will no longer be recorded as a source file, fixing issue 419.
- The source kit now contains all of the files needed to have a complete source tree, re-fixing issue 137 and closing issue 281.
