createcoverage 1.1

Single command to create coverage reports (assumes a bin/test)

Createcoverage

This package installs one command: createcoverage that runs your tests with coverage.py and opens the coverage reports in your browser. All with just one single handy command.

Assumption: you’re using buildout. Or rather, the assumption is that you have a bin/test command that runs all your tests.

No options are passed to coverage.py, so any extra options you want to give to coverage must be put in a .coveragerc in your buildout’s root. This is a good idea in any case :-) An example .coveragerc that omits code you normally don’t want to include in a coverage report:

[report]
omit =
    /home/*/.buildout/eggs/*
    /usr/*
    parts/*
    eggs/*
    */test*

Installing createcoverage in a zc.recipe.egg section is enough. Createcoverage itself depends on coverage.py and makes sure bin/coverage is created:

[console_scripts]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = createcoverage

Code, bugs, ideas

The code is hosted at bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/reinout/createcoverage .

You can also report issues and bugs and ideas there.

Development installation

The first time, you’ll have to run the “bootstrap” script to set up setuptools and buildout:

$> python bootstrap.py

And then run buildout to set everything up:

$> bin/buildout

(On windows it is called bin\buildout.exe).

You’ll have to re-run buildout when you or someone else made a change in setup.py or buildout.cfg.

The current package is installed as a “development package”, so changes in .py files are automatically available (just like with python setup.py develop).

Tests can always be run with bin/test or bin\test.exe.

TODO

• Probably a whole lot of things.

Changelog of createcoverage

1.1 (2011-04-19)

• Making the path to the coverage index.html file absolute before opening it in the webbrowser. This prevents OSX from complaining that it isn’t a URL.

1.0 (2010-12-20)

• Added option (“-d”) for specifying an output directory. Specifying it also makes sure the results aren’t opened in a webbrowser (as the option is intended for offline operation for automatic documentation generation purposes).

0.4 (2010-10-05)

• Falling back to global ‘coverage’ binary if there isn’t one in bin/coverage.

0.3 (2010-09-20)

• Added missing MANIFEST.in file so that the distribution on pypi is complete now.

0.2 (2010-09-20)

• Documentation update: pointing at bitbucket for code, issues, ideas.

0.1 (2010-09-20)

• First working version.

• Copied some code from the “createzopecoverage” package.

• Initial library skeleton created by nensskel. [reinout]
