- Update to version 6.2
* 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. Closes issue 1012 and issue 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.
- Release notes for 6.1.2
* Python 3.11 is supported (tested with 3.11.0a2). One still-open
issue has to do with exits through with-statements.
* Fix: When remapping file paths through the [paths] setting
while combining, the [run] relative_files setting was ignored,
resulting in absolute paths for remapped file names (issue
1147). This is now fixed.
* Fix: Complex conditionals over excluded lines could have
incorrectly reported a missing branch (issue 1271). This is now
fixed.
* Fix: More exceptions are now handled when trying to parse
source files for reporting. Problems that used to terminate
coverage.py can now be handled with [report] ignore_errors.
This helps with plugins failing to read files
(django_coverage_plugin issue 78).
* Fix: Removed another vestige of jQuery from the source tarball
(issue 840).
* Fix: Added a default value for a new-to-6.x argument of an
internal class. This unsupported class is being used by
coveralls (issue 1273). Although I'd rather not "fix"
unsupported interfaces, it's actually nicer with a default
value.
- Release notes for 6.1.1
* Fix: The sticky header on the HTML report didn't work unless
you had branch coverage enabled. This is now fixed: the sticky
header works for everyone. (Do people still use coverage
without branch measurement!? j/k)
* Fix: When using explicitly declared namespace packages, the
"already imported a file that will be measured" warning would
be issued (issue 888). This is now fixed.
- Release notes for 6.1
* Deprecated: The annotate command and the Coverage.annotate
function will be removed in a future version, unless people let
me know that they are using it. Instead, the html command gives
better-looking (and more accurate) output, and the report -m
command will tell you line numbers of missing lines. Please get
in touch if you have a reason to use annotate over those better
options: ned@nedbatchelder.com.
* Feature: Coverage now sets an environment variable,
COVERAGE_RUN when running your code with the coverage run
command. The value is not important, and may change in the
future. Closes issue 553.
* Feature: The HTML report pages for Python source files now have
a sticky header so the file name and controls are always
visible.
* Feature: The xml and json commands now describe what they wrote
where.
* Feature: The html, combine, xml, and json commands all accept a
-q/--quiet option to suppress the messages they write to stdout
about what they are doing (issue 1254).
* Feature: The html command writes a .gitignore file into the
HTML output directory, to prevent the report from being
committed to git. If you want to commit it, you will need to
delete that file. Closes issue 1244.
* Feature: Added support for PyPy 3.8.
* Fix: More generated code is now excluded from measurement. Code
such as attrs boilerplate, or doctest code, was being measured
though the synthetic line numbers meant they were never
reported. Once Cython was involved though, the generated .so
files were parsed as Python, raising syntax errors, as reported
in issue 1160. This is now fixed.
* Fix: When sorting human-readable names, numeric components are
sorted correctly: file10.py will appear after file9.py. This
applies to file names, module names, environment variables, and
test contexts.
* Performance: Branch coverage measurement is faster, though you
might only notice on code that is executed many times, such as
long-running loops.
* Build: jQuery is no longer used or vendored (issue 840 and
issue 1118). Huge thanks to Nils Kattenbeck (septatrix) for the
conversion to vanilla JavaScript in pull request 1248.
- Release notes for 6.0.2
* 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, or
source_pkgs, or pytest-cov's --cov) might have been only
partially measured. Their top-level statements could be marked
as unexecuted, 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.
* The :meth:`.CoverageData.contexts_by_lineno` 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.
- Release notes for 6.0.1
* 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" (pull request 1210). Thanks, Ben Carlsson.
- Release notes for 6.0
* The coverage html command now prints a message indicating where
the HTML report was written. Fixes issue 1195.
* The coverage combine command now prints messages indicating
each data file being combined. Fixes issue 1105.
* The HTML report now includes a sentence about skipped files due
to skip_covered or skip_empty settings. Fixes issue 1163.
* Unrecognized options in the configuration file are no longer
errors. They are now warnings, to ease the use of coverage
across versions. Fixes issue 1035.
* Fix handling of exceptions through context managers in Python
3.10. A missing exception is no longer considered a missing
branch from the with statement. Fixes issue 1205.
* Fix another rarer instance of "Error binding parameter 0 -
probably unsupported type." (issue 1010).
* Creating a directory for the coverage data file now is safer
against conflicts when two coverage runs happen simultaneously
(pull 1220). Thanks, Clément Pit-Claudel.
- Release notes for Version 6.0b1
* Dropped support for Python 2.7, PyPy 2, and Python 3.5.
* Added support for the Python 3.10 match/case syntax.
* Data collection is now thread-safe. There may have been rare
instances of exceptions raised in multi-threaded programs.
* Plugins (like the Django coverage plugin) were generating
"Already imported a file that will be measured" warnings about
Django itself. These have been fixed, closing issue 1150.
* Warnings generated by coverage.py are now real Python warnings.
* Using --fail-under=100 with coverage near 100% could result in
the self-contradictory message total of 100 is less than
fail-under=100. This bug (issue 1168) is now fixed.
* The COVERAGE_DEBUG_FILE environment variable now accepts stdout
and stderr to write to those destinations.
* TOML parsing now uses the tomli library.
* Some minor changes to usually invisible details of the HTML
report:
* Use a modern hash algorithm when fingerprinting, for
high-security environments (issue 1189). When generating the
HTML report, we save the hash of the data, to avoid
regenerating an unchanged HTML page. We used to use MD5 to
generate the hash, and now use SHA-3-256. This was never a
security concern, but security scanners would notice the MD5
algorithm and raise a false alarm.
* Change how report file names are generated, to avoid leading
underscores (issue 1167), to avoid rare file name collisions
(issue 584), and to avoid file names becoming too long (issue
580).
