Note this can be different from a strict chronological order when there are two branches in development at the same time, such as 4.5.x and 5.0. .. When updating the "Unreleased" header to a specific version, use this .. format. Don't forget the jump target: .. .. .. _changes_9-8-1: .. .. Version 9.8.1 — 2027-07-27 .. -------------------------- Unreleased ---------- - 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. Fixes `issue 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. .. _issue 1553: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1553 .. scriv-start-here .. _changes_7-2-5: Version 7.2.5 — 2023-04-30 -------------------------- - Fix: ``html_report()`` could fail with an AttributeError on ``isatty`` if run in an unusual environment where sys.stdout had been replaced. This is now fixed. .. _changes_7-2-4: Version 7.2.4 — 2023-04-28 -------------------------- 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 by `Marc Gibbons `_. - Fix: the XML report would have an incorrect ```` element when using relative files and the source option ended with a slash (`issue 1541`_). This is now fixed, thanks to `Kevin Brown-Silva `_. - 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 to `Ricardo Newbery `_. - Docs: a new :ref:`Migrating page ` with details about how to migrate between major versions of coverage.py. It currently covers the wildcard changes in 7.x. Thanks, `Brian Grohe `_. .. _issue 1523: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1523 .. _issue 1541: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1541 .. _issue 1604: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1604 .. _pull 1608: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1608 .. _pull 1609: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1609 .. _pull 1610: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1610 .. _pull 1613: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1613 .. _changes_7-2-3: Version 7.2.3 — 2023-04-06 -------------------------- - 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 to `Lewis Gaul `_, closing `issue 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 to `Oleh Krehel `_. - Development dependencies no longer use hashed pins, closing `issue 1592`_. .. _issue 1584: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1584 .. _pull 1587: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1587 .. _issue 1592: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1592 .. _issue 1599: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1599 .. _pull 1600: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1600 .. _changes_7-2-2: Version 7.2.2 — 2023-03-16 -------------------------- - 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 `_. - 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 to `Ian Moore `_. - Fix: the ``coverage xml`` command on Windows could create a .xml file with duplicate ```` elements. This is now fixed, thanks to `Benjamin Parzella `_, closing `issue 1573`_. .. _pull 1560: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1560 .. _issue 1573: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1573 .. _pull 1574: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1574 .. _pull 1583: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1583 .. _changes_7-2-1: Version 7.2.1 — 2023-02-26 -------------------------- - Fix: the PyPI page had broken links to documentation pages, but no longer does, closing `issue 1566`_. - Fix: public members of the coverage module are now properly indicated so that mypy will find them, fixing `issue 1564`_. .. _issue 1564: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1564 .. _issue 1566: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1566 .. _changes_7-2-0: Version 7.2.0 — 2023-02-22 -------------------------- - Added a new setting ``[report] exclude_also`` to let you add more exclusions without overwriting the defaults. Thanks, `Alpha Chen `_, closing `issue 1391`_. - Added a :meth:`.CoverageData.purge_files` method to remove recorded data for a particular file. Contributed by `Stephan Deibel `_. - 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`` and ``config_file`` arguments to the Coverage constructor and the ``basename`` argument to CoverageData. Closes `issue 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 `_, closing `issue 1542`_. - Added a ``py.typed`` file to announce our type-hintedness. Thanks, `KotlinIsland `_. .. _issue 1391: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1391 .. _issue 1542: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1542 .. _pull 1543: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1543 .. _pull 1547: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1547 .. _pull 1550: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1550 .. _issue 1552: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1552 .. _pull 1557: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1557 .. _changes_7-1-0: Version 7.1.0 — 2023-01-24 -------------------------- - Added: the debug output file can now be specified with ``[run] debug_file`` in the configuration file. Closes `issue 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 the `Cython change`_ that fixed `issue 972`_. Thanks to Mathieu Kniewallner for the deep investigative work and comprehensive issue report. - Typing: all product and test code has type annotations. .. _Cython change: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1347 .. _issue 972: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/972 .. _issue 1319: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1319 .. _issue 1538: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1538 .. _changes_7-0-5: Version 7.0.5 — 2023-01-10 -------------------------- - 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, closing `issue 1524`_. .. _issue 1524: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1524 .. _changes_7-0-4: Version 7.0.4 — 2023-01-07 -------------------------- - 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: Version 7.0.3 — 2023-01-03 -------------------------- - 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. Closes `issue 1522`_. .. _issue 1522: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1522 .. _changes_7-0-2: Version 7.0.2 — 2023-01-02 -------------------------- - Fix: when using the ``[run] relative_files = True`` setting, a relative ``[paths]`` pattern was still being made absolute. This is now fixed, closing `issue 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, closing `issue 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. .. _issue 1515: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1515 .. _issue 1516: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1516 .. _issue 1519: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1519 .. _changes_7-0-1: Version 7.0.1 — 2022-12-23 -------------------------- - 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`_. .. _issue 1510: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1510 .. _issue 1511: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1511 .. _issue 1512: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1512 .. _issue 1513: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1513 .. _changes_7-0-0: Version 7.0.0 — 2022-12-18 -------------------------- Nothing new beyond 7.0.0b1. .. _changes_7-0-0b1: Version 7.0.0b1 — 2022-12-03 ---------------------------- A number of changes have been made to file path handling, including pattern matching and path remapping with the ``[paths]`` setting (see :ref:`config_paths`). These changes might affect you, and require you to update your settings. (This release includes the changes from `6.6.0b1 `_, since 6.6.0 was never released.) - 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, closing `issue 1407`_. - Now ``**`` matches any number of nested directories, including none. - Improvements to combining data files when using the :ref:`config_run_relative_files` setting, which might require updating your configuration: - During ``coverage combine``, relative file paths are implicitly combined without needing a ``[paths]`` configuration setting. This also fixed `issue 991`_. - A ``[paths]`` setting like ``*/foo`` will now match ``foo/bar.py`` so that relative file paths can be combined more easily. - The :ref:`config_run_relative_files` setting is properly interpreted in more places, fixing `issue 1280`_. - When remapping file paths with ``[paths]``, a path will be remapped only if the resulting path exists. The documentation has long said the prefix had to exist, but it was never enforced. This fixes `issue 608`_, improves `issue 649`_, and closes `issue 757`_. - Reporting operations now implicitly use the ``[paths]`` setting to remap file paths within a single data file. Combining multiple files still requires the ``coverage combine`` step, but this simplifies some single-file situations. Closes `issue 1212`_ and `issue 713`_. - The ``coverage report`` command now has a ``--format=`` option. The original style is now ``--format=text``, and is the default. - Using ``--format=markdown`` will write the table in Markdown format, thanks to `Steve Oswald `_, closing `issue 1418`_. - Using ``--format=total`` will write a single total number to the output. This can be useful for making badges or writing status updates. - Combining data files with ``coverage combine`` now hashes the data files to skip files that add no new information. This can reduce the time needed. Many details affect the speed-up, but for coverage.py's own test suite, combining is about 40% faster. Closes `issue 1483`_. - When searching for completely un-executed files, coverage.py uses the presence of ``__init__.py`` files to determine which directories have source that could have been imported. However, `implicit namespace packages`_ don't require ``__init__.py``. A new setting ``[report] include_namespace_packages`` tells coverage.py to consider these directories during reporting. Thanks to `Felix Horvat `_ for the contribution. Closes `issue 1383`_ and `issue 1024`_. - Fixed environment variable expansion in pyproject.toml files. It was overly broad, causing errors outside of coverage.py settings, as described in `issue 1481`_ and `issue 1345`_. This is now fixed, but in rare cases will require changing your pyproject.toml to quote non-string values that use environment substitution. - An empty file has a coverage total of 100%, but used to fail with ``--fail-under``. This has been fixed, closing `issue 1470`_. - The text report table no longer writes out two separator lines if there are no files listed in the table. One is plenty. - Fixed a mis-measurement of a strange use of wildcard alternatives in match/case statements, closing `issue 1421`_. - Fixed internal logic that prevented coverage.py from running on implementations other than CPython or PyPy (`issue 1474`_). - The deprecated ``[run] note`` setting has been completely removed. .. _implicit namespace packages: https://peps.python.org/pep-0420/ .. _issue 608: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/608 .. _issue 649: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/649 .. _issue 713: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/713 .. _issue 757: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/757 .. _issue 991: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/991 .. _issue 1024: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1024 .. _issue 1212: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1212 .. _issue 1280: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1280 .. _issue 1345: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1345 .. _issue 1383: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1383 .. _issue 1407: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1407 .. _issue 1418: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1418 .. _issue 1421: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1421 .. _issue 1470: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1470 .. _issue 1474: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1474 .. _issue 1481: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1481 .. _issue 1483: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1483 .. _pull 1387: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1387 .. _pull 1479: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1479 .. _changes_6-6-0b1: Version 6.6.0b1 — 2022-10-31 ---------------------------- (Note: 6.6.0 final was never released. These changes are part of `7.0.0b1 `_.) - 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, closing `issue 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 fixed `issue 991`_. - A ``[paths]`` setting like ``*/foo`` will now match ``foo/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`_ and `issue 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`_). .. _issue 991: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/991 .. _issue 1280: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1280 .. _issue 1345: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1345 .. _issue 1407: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1407 .. _issue 1474: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1474 .. _issue 1481: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1481 .. _changes_6-5-0: Version 6.5.0 — 2022-09-29 -------------------------- - The JSON report now includes details of which branches were taken, and which are missing for each file. Thanks, `Christoph Blessing `_. Closes `issue 1425`_. - Starting with coverage.py 6.2, ``class`` statements were marked as a branch. This wasn't right, and has been reverted, fixing `issue 1449`_. Note this will very slightly reduce your coverage total if you are measuring branch coverage. - Packaging is now compliant with `PEP 517`_, closing `issue 1395`_. - A new debug option ``--debug=pathmap`` shows details of the remapping of paths that happens during combine due to the ``[paths]`` setting. - Fix an internal problem with caching of invalid Python parsing. Found by OSS-Fuzz, fixing their `bug 50381`_. .. _bug 50381: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=50381 .. _PEP 517: https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/ .. _issue 1395: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1395 .. _issue 1425: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1425 .. _issue 1449: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1449 .. _pull 1438: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1438 .. _changes_6-4-4: Version 6.4.4 — 2022-08-16 -------------------------- - Wheels are now provided for Python 3.11. .. _changes_6-4-3: Version 6.4.3 — 2022-08-06 -------------------------- - Fix a failure when combining data files if the file names contained glob-like patterns. Thanks, `Michael Krebs and Benjamin Schubert `_. - Fix a messaging failure when combining Windows data files on a different drive than the current directory, closing `issue 1428`_. Thanks, `Lorenzo Micò `_. - Fix path calculations when running in the root directory, as you might do in a Docker container. Thanks `Arthur Rio `_. - Filtering in the HTML report wouldn't work when reloading the index page. This is now fixed. Thanks, `Marc Legendre `_. - Fix a problem with Cython code measurement, closing `issue 972`_. Thanks, `Matus Valo `_. .. _issue 972: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/972 .. _issue 1428: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1428 .. _pull 1347: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1347 .. _pull 1403: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1403 .. _pull 1405: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1405 .. _pull 1413: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1413 .. _pull 1430: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1430 .. _changes_6-4-2: Version 6.4.2 — 2022-07-12 -------------------------- - 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. Fixes `issue 1419`_. - Internal debugging data added to sys.modules is now an actual module, to avoid confusing code that examines everything in sys.modules. Thanks, `Yilei Yang `_. .. _issue 1419: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1419 .. _pull 1399: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1399 .. _changes_6-4-1: Version 6.4.1 — 2022-06-02 -------------------------- - Greatly improved performance on PyPy, and other environments that need the pure Python trace function. Thanks, Carl Friedrich Bolz-Tereick (`pull 1381`_ and `pull 1388`_). Slightly improved performance when using the C trace function, as most environments do. Closes `issue 1339`_. - The conditions for using tomllib from the standard library have been made more precise, so that 3.11 alphas will continue to work. Closes `issue 1390`_. .. _issue 1339: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1339 .. _pull 1381: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1381 .. _pull 1388: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1388 .. _issue 1390: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1390 .. _changes_64: Version 6.4 — 2022-05-22 ------------------------ - A new setting, :ref:`config_run_sigterm`, controls whether a SIGTERM signal handler is used. In 6.3, the signal handler was always installed, to capture data at unusual process ends. Unfortunately, this introduced other problems (see `issue 1310`_). Now the signal handler is only used if you opt-in by setting ``[run] sigterm = true``. - Small changes to the HTML report: - Added links to next and previous file, and more keyboard shortcuts: ``[`` and ``]`` for next file and previous file; ``u`` for up to the index; and ``?`` to open/close the help panel. Thanks, `J. M. F. Tsang `_. - The time stamp and version are displayed at the top of the report. Thanks, `Ammar Askar `_. Closes `issue 1351`_. - A new debug option ``debug=sqldata`` adds more detail to ``debug=sql``, logging all the data being written to the database. - Previously, running ``coverage report`` (or any of the reporting commands) in an empty directory would create a .coverage data file. Now they do not, fixing `issue 1328`_. - On Python 3.11, the ``[toml]`` extra no longer installs tomli, instead using tomllib from the standard library. Thanks `Shantanu `_. - In-memory CoverageData objects now properly update(), closing `issue 1323`_. .. _issue 1310: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1310 .. _issue 1323: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1323 .. _issue 1328: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1328 .. _issue 1351: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1351 .. _pull 1354: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1354 .. _pull 1359: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1359 .. _pull 1364: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1364 .. _changes_633: Version 6.3.3 — 2022-05-12 -------------------------- - Fix: Coverage.py now builds successfully on CPython 3.11 (3.11.0b1) again. Closes `issue 1367`_. Some results for generators may have changed. .. _issue 1367: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1367 .. _changes_632: Version 6.3.2 — 2022-02-20 -------------------------- - Fix: adapt to pypy3.9's decorator tracing behavior. It now traces function decorators like CPython 3.8: both the @-line and the def-line are traced. Fixes `issue 1326`_. - Debug: added ``pybehave`` to the list of :ref:`coverage debug ` and :ref:`cmd_run_debug` options. - Fix: show an intelligible error message if ``--concurrency=multiprocessing`` is used without a configuration file. Closes `issue 1320`_. .. _issue 1320: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1320 .. _issue 1326: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1326 .. _changes_631: Version 6.3.1 — 2022-02-01 -------------------------- - 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 to `Marcelo Trylesinski `_. - Fix: releases no longer provide 3.11.0-alpha wheels. Coverage.py uses CPython internal fields which are moving during the alpha phase. Fixes `issue 1316`_. .. _issue 1310: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1310 .. _issue 1312: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1312 .. _issue 1316: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1316 .. _pull 1317: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1317 .. _changes_63: Version 6.3 — 2022-01-25 ------------------------ - Feature: Added the ``lcov`` command to generate reports in LCOV format. Thanks, `Bradley Burns `_. Closes issues `587 `_ and `626 `_. - Feature: the coverage data file can now be specified on the command line with the ``--data-file`` option in any command that reads or writes data. This is in addition to the existing ``COVERAGE_FILE`` environment variable. Closes `issue 624`_. Thanks, `Nikita Bloshchanevich `_. - Feature: coverage measurement data will now be written when a SIGTERM signal is received by the process. This includes :meth:`Process.terminate `, and other ways to terminate a process. Currently this is only on Linux and Mac; Windows is not supported. Fixes `issue 1307`_. - Dropped support for Python 3.6, which reached end-of-life on 2021-12-23. - Updated Python 3.11 support to 3.11.0a4, fixing `issue 1294`_. - Fix: the coverage data file is now created in a more robust way, to avoid problems when multiple processes are trying to write data at once. Fixes issues `1303 `_ and `883 `_. - Fix: a .gitignore file will only be written into the HTML report output directory if the directory is empty. This should prevent certain unfortunate accidents of writing the file where it is not wanted. - Releases now have MacOS arm64 wheels for Apple Silicon, fixing `issue 1288`_. .. _issue 587: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/587 .. _issue 624: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/624 .. _issue 626: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/626 .. _issue 883: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/883 .. _issue 1288: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1288 .. _issue 1294: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1294 .. _issue 1303: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1303 .. _issue 1307: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1307 .. _pull 1289: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1289 .. _pull 1304: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1304 .. _changes_62: Version 6.2 — 2021-11-26 ------------------------ - 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. .. _issue 989: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/989 .. _issue 1012: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1012 .. _issue 1082: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1082 .. _issue 1203: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1203 .. _changes_612: Version 6.1.2 — 2021-11-10 -------------------------- - 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. .. _django_coverage_plugin issue 78: https://github.com/nedbat/django_coverage_plugin/issues/78 .. _issue 1147: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1147 .. _issue 1270: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1270 .. _issue 1271: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1271 .. _issue 1273: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1273 .. _changes_611: Version 6.1.1 — 2021-10-31 -------------------------- - 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. .. _issue 888: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/888 .. _changes_61: Version 6.1 — 2021-10-30 ------------------------ - 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`_. .. _issue 553: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/553 .. _issue 840: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/840 .. _issue 1118: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1118 .. _issue 1160: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1160 .. _issue 1244: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1244 .. _pull request 1248: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1248 .. _issue 1254: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1254 .. _attrs: https://www.attrs.org/ .. _changes_602: Version 6.0.2 — 2021-10-11 -------------------------- - 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 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. - 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. .. _issue 1231: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1231 .. _issue 1232: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1232 .. _changes_601: Version 6.0.1 — 2021-10-06 -------------------------- - 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. .. _pull request 1210: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1210 .. _issue 1226: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1226 .. _issue 1228: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1228 .. _changes_60: Version 6.0 — 2021-10-03 ------------------------ - 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. .. _issue 1035: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1035 .. _issue 1105: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1105 .. _issue 1163: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1163 .. _issue 1195: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1195 .. _issue 1205: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1205 .. _pull 1220: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1220 .. _changes_60b1: Version 6.0b1 — 2021-07-18 -------------------------- - 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 :code:`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`_). .. _Django coverage plugin: https://pypi.org/project/django-coverage-plugin/ .. _issue 580: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/580 .. _issue 584: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/584 .. _issue 1150: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1150 .. _issue 1167: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1167 .. _issue 1168: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1168 .. _issue 1189: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1189 .. _tomli: https://pypi.org/project/tomli/ .. _changes_56b1: Version 5.6b1 — 2021-04-13 -------------------------- Note: 5.6 final was never released. These changes are part of 6.0. - Third-party packages are now ignored in coverage reporting. This solves a few problems: - Coverage will no longer report about other people's code (`issue 876`_). This is true even when using ``--source=.`` with a venv in the current directory. - Coverage will no longer generate "Already imported a file that will be measured" warnings about coverage itself (`issue 905`_). - The HTML report uses j/k to move up and down among the highlighted chunks of code. They used to highlight the current chunk, but 5.0 broke that behavior. Now the highlighting is working again. - The JSON report now includes ``percent_covered_display``, a string with the total percentage, rounded to the same number of decimal places as the other reports' totals. .. _issue 876: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/876 .. _issue 905: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/905 .. _changes_55: Version 5.5 — 2021-02-28 ------------------------ - ``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 in `issue 1108`_ and implemented in `pull 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 both `issue 1065`_ and `issue 955`_. - 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 `issue 1124`_. - Improved the error message when combining line and branch data, so that users will be more likely to understand what's happening, closing `issue 803`_. .. _issue 803: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/803 .. _issue 955: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/955 .. _issue 1065: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1065 .. _issue 1108: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1108 .. _pull request 1110: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1110 .. _issue 1123: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1123 .. _issue 1124: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1124 .. _changes_54: Version 5.4 — 2021-01-24 ------------------------ - The text report produced by ``coverage report`` now always outputs a TOTAL line, even if only one Python file is reported. This makes regex parsing of the output easier. Thanks, Judson Neer. This had been requested a number of times (`issue 1086`_, `issue 922`_, `issue 732`_). - The ``skip_covered`` and ``skip_empty`` settings in the configuration file can now be specified in the ``[html]`` section, so that text reports and HTML reports can use separate settings. The HTML report will still use the ``[report]`` settings if there isn't a value in the ``[html]`` section. Closes `issue 1090`_. - Combining files on Windows across drives now works properly, fixing `issue 577`_. Thanks, `Valentin Lab `_. - Fix an obscure warning from deep in the _decimal module, as reported in `issue 1084`_. - Update to support Python 3.10 alphas in progress, including `PEP 626: Precise line numbers for debugging and other tools `_. .. _issue 577: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/577 .. _issue 732: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/732 .. _issue 922: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/922 .. _issue 1084: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1084 .. _issue 1086: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1086 .. _issue 1090: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1090 .. _pr1080: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1080 .. _pep626: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0626/ .. _changes_531: Version 5.3.1 — 2020-12-19 -------------------------- - When using ``--source`` on a large source tree, v5.x was slower than previous versions. This performance regression is now fixed, closing `issue 1037`_. - Mysterious SQLite errors can happen on PyPy, as reported in `issue 1010`_. An immediate retry seems to fix the problem, although it is an unsatisfying solution. - The HTML report now saves the sort order in a more widely supported way, fixing `issue 986`_. Thanks, Sebastián Ramírez (`pull request 1066`_). - The HTML report pages now have a :ref:`Sleepy Snake ` favicon. - Wheels are now provided for manylinux2010, and for PyPy3 (pp36 and pp37). - Continuous integration has moved from Travis and AppVeyor to GitHub Actions. .. _issue 986: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/986 .. _issue 1037: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1037 .. _issue 1010: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1010 .. _pull request 1066: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1066 .. _changes_53: Version 5.3 — 2020-09-13 ------------------------ - The ``source`` setting has always been interpreted as either a file path or a module, depending on which existed. If both interpretations were valid, it was assumed to be a file path. The new ``source_pkgs`` setting can be used to name a package to disambiguate this case. Thanks, Thomas Grainger. Fixes `issue 268`_. - If a plugin was disabled due to an exception, we used to still try to record its information, causing an exception, as reported in `issue 1011`_. This is now fixed. .. _issue 268: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/268 .. _issue 1011: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1011 .. scriv-end-here Older changes ------------- The complete history is available in the `coverage.py docs`__. __ https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html
