This plugin produces coverage reports. Compared to just using coverage run this plugin does some extras:
coverage run -m pytest you will have slightly different sys.path (CWD will be
in it, unlike when running pytest).All features offered by the coverage package should work, either through pytest-cov's command line options or through coverage's config file.
Install with pip::
pip install pytest-cov
For distributed testing support install pytest-xdist::
pip install pytest-xdist
pytest-cov 2.0 is using a new .pth file (pytest-cov.pth). You may want to manually remove the older
init_cov_core.pth from site-packages as it's not automatically removed.
Uninstall with pip::
pip uninstall pytest-cov
Under certain scenarios a stray .pth file may be left around in site-packages.
pytest-cov 2.0 may leave a pytest-cov.pth if you installed without wheels
(easy_install, setup.py install etc).pytest-cov 1.8 or older will leave a init_cov_core.pth.::
pytest --cov=myproj tests/
Would produce a report like::
-------------------- coverage: ... ---------------------
Name Stmts Miss Cover
----------------------------------------
myproj/__init__ 2 0 100%
myproj/myproj 257 13 94%
myproj/feature4286 94 7 92%
----------------------------------------
TOTAL 353 20 94%
https://pytest-cov.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
The data file is erased at the beginning of testing to ensure clean data for each test run. If you
need to combine the coverage of several test runs you can use the --cov-append option to append
this coverage data to coverage data from previous test runs.
The data file is left at the end of testing so that it is possible to use normal coverage tools to examine it.
For distributed testing the workers must have the pytest-cov package installed. This is needed since the plugin must be registered through setuptools for pytest to start the plugin on the worker.
For subprocess measurement environment variables must make it from the main process to the
subprocess. The python used by the subprocess must have pytest-cov installed. The subprocess must
do normal site initialisation so that the environment variables can be detected and coverage
started. See the subprocess support docs <https://pytest-cov.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subprocess-support.html>_
for more details of how this works.
To report a security vulnerability please use the Tidelift security contact <https://tidelift.com/security>_.
Tidelift will coordinate the fix and disclosure.
Whilst this plugin has been built fresh from the ground up it has been influenced by the work done on pytest-coverage (Ross Lawley, James Mills, Holger Krekel) and nose-cover (Jason Pellerin) which are other coverage plugins.
Ned Batchelder for coverage and its ability to combine the coverage results of parallel runs.
Holger Krekel for pytest with its distributed testing support.
Jason Pellerin for nose.
Michael Foord for unittest2.
No doubt others have contributed to these tools as well.

Contributed by Zac Hatfield-Dodds in #511 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/pull/511>_.
Dropped support for multiprocessing (mostly because issue 82408 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/82408>_). This feature was
mostly working but very broken in certain scenarios and made the test suite very flaky and slow.
There is builtin multiprocessing support in coverage and you can migrate to that. All you need is this in your
.coveragerc::
[run] concurrency = multiprocessing parallel = true sigterm = true
