Release Notes

nedbat/coveragepy

v6.3.1

Compare Source

  • 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 <pull 1317_>_.

  • 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_.

v6.3

Compare Source

  • Feature: Added the lcov command to generate reports in LCOV format. Thanks, Bradley Burns <pull 1289_>. Closes issues 587 <issue 587_> and 626 <issue 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 <pull 1304_>.

  • Feature: coverage measurement data will now be written when a SIGTERM signal is received by the process. This includes :meth:Process.terminate <python:multiprocessing.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 <issue 1303_>_ and 883 <issue 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_.

v6.2

Compare Source

  • 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.

v6.1.2

Compare Source

  • Python 3.11 is supported (tested with 3.11.0a2). One still-open issue has to do with exits through with-statements <issue 1270_>_.

  • 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.

v6.1.1

Compare Source

  • 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.

v6.0.2

Compare Source

  • 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.

v6.0.1

Compare Source

  • 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.
