Changelog
### 6.3
```
------------------------
- 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`_.

### 6.2
```
------------------------
- 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.

```
### 6.1.2
```
--------------------------
- 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.

```
### 6.1.1
```
--------------------------
- 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:
```
### 6.1
```
------------------------
- 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: nednedbatchelder.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`_.

```
### 6.0.2
```
--------------------------
- 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.
.. _issue 1231: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1231
.. _issue 1232: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1232
.. _changes_601:
```
### 6.0.1
```
--------------------------
- 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.

```
### 6.0
```
------------------------
- 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.

### 6.0b1
```
--------------------------
- 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`_).

### 5.6b1
```
--------------------------
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.

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: ``` ### 6.0b1 ``` -------------------------- - 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: ``` ### 5.6b1 ``` -------------------------- 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: ```Links
