Plug-ins

.. :history: 20150124T143000, new page.
.. :history: 20150802T174600, updated for 4.0b1
.. :history: 20171228T213800, updated for configurer plugins
Coverage.py's behavior can be extended with third-party plug-ins. A plug-in is
a separately installed Python class that you register in your .coveragerc.
Plugins can alter a number of aspects of coverage.py's behavior, including
implementing coverage measurement for non-Python files.
Information about using plug-ins is on this page. To write a plug-in, see
:ref:`api_plugin`.
.. versionadded:: 4.0
Using plug-ins
--------------
To use a coverage.py plug-in, you install it and configure it. For this
example, let's say there's a Python package called ``something`` that provides
a coverage.py plug-in called ``something.plugin``.
#. Install the plug-in's package as you would any other Python package::
pip install something
#. Configure coverage.py to use the plug-in. You do this by editing (or
creating) your .coveragerc file, as described in :ref:`config`. The
``plugins`` setting indicates your plug-in. It's a list of importable
module names of plug-ins::
[run]
plugins =
something.plugin
#. If the plug-in needs its own configuration, you can add those settings in
the .coveragerc file in a section named for the plug-in::
[something.plugin]
option1 = True
option2 = abc.foo
Check the documentation for the plug-in for details on the options it takes.
#. Run your tests with coverage.py as you usually would. If you get a message
like "Plugin file tracers (something.plugin) aren't supported with
PyTracer," then you don't have the :ref:`C extension <install_extension>`
installed. The C extension is needed for certain plug-ins.
Available plug-ins
------------------
Some coverage.py plug-ins you might find useful:
* `Django template coverage.py plug-in`__: for measuring coverage in Django
templates.
.. __: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django_coverage_plugin
* `Mako template coverage plug-in`__: for measuring coverage in Mako templates.
Doesn't work yet, probably needs some changes in Mako itself.
