pycobertura 0.10.1

About

pycobertura is a generic Cobertura report parser. It was also designed to help prevent code coverage from decreasing with the pycobertura diff command: any line changed should be tested and uncovered changes should be clearly visible without letting legacy uncovered code get in the way so developers can focus solely on their changes.

Features:

• show coverage summary of a cobertura file

• output in plain text or HTML

• compare two cobertura files and show changes in coverage

• colorized diff output

• diff exit status of non-zero if coverage worsened or if any changes were left uncovered

• fail based on uncovered lines rather than on decrease of coverage rate (see why)

NOTE: The API is unstable any may be subject to changes until it reaches 1.0.

Install

$ pip install pycobertura

Unreleased

0.10.1 (2017-12-30)

• Drop support for Python 2.6

• Fix a IndexError: list index out of range error by being less specific about where to find class elements in the Cobertura report.

0.10.0 (2016-09-27)

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: when a source file is not found in disk pycobertura will now raise a pycobertura.filesystem.FileSystem.FileNotFound exception instead of an IOError.

• possibility to pass a zip archive containing the source code instead of a directory

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Rename keyword argument Cobertura(base_path=None) > Cobertura(source=None)

• Introduce new keyword argument Cobertura(source_prefix=None)

• Fix an IOError / FileNotFound error which happens when the same coverage report is provided twice to pycobertura diff (diff in degraded mode) but the first code base (--source1) is missing a file mentioned in the coverage report.

• Fix a rare bug when diffing coverage xml where one file goes from zero lines to non-zero lines.

0.9.0 (2016-01-29)

• The coverage report now displays the class’s filename instead of the class’s name, the latter being more subject to different interpretations by coverage tools. This change was done to support coverage.py versions 3.x and 4.x.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: removed CoberturaDiff.filename()

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: removed the term “class” from the API which make it more difficult to reason about. Now preferring “filename”:

  • Cobertura.line_rate(class_name=None) > Cobertura.line_rate(filename=None)

  • Cobertura.branch_rate(class_name=None) > Cobertura.branch_rate(filename=None)

  • Cobertura.missed_statements(class_name) > Cobertura.missed_statements(filename)

  • Cobertura.hit_statements(class_name) > Cobertura.hit_statements(filename)

  • Cobertura.line_statuses(class_name) > Cobertura.line_statuses(filename)

  • Cobertura.missed_lines(class_name) > Cobertura.missed_lines(filename)

  • Cobertura.class_source(class_name) > Cobertura.file_source(filename)

  • Cobertura.total_misses(class_name=None) > Cobertura.total_misses(filename=None)

  • Cobertura.total_hits(class_name=None) > Cobertura.total_hits(filename=None)

  • Cobertura.total_statements(class_name=None) > Cobertura.total_statements(filename=None)

  • Cobertura.filepath(class_name) > Cobertura.filepath(filename)

  • Cobertura.classes() > Cobertura.files()

  • Cobertura.has_classfile(class_name) > Cobertura.has_file(filename)

  • Cobertura.class_lines(class_name) > Cobertura.source_lines(filename)

  • CoberturaDiff.diff_total_statements(class_name=None) > CoberturaDiff.diff_total_statements(filename=None)

  • CoberturaDiff.diff_total_misses(class_name=None) > CoberturaDiff.diff_total_misses(filename=None)

  • CoberturaDiff.diff_total_hits(class_name=None) > CoberturaDiff.diff_total_hits(filename=None)

  • CoberturaDiff.diff_line_rate(class_name=None) > CoberturaDiff.diff_line_rate(filename=None)

  • CoberturaDiff.diff_missed_lines(class_name) > CoberturaDiff.diff_missed_lines(filename)

  • CoberturaDiff.classes() > CoberturaDiff.files()

  • CoberturaDiff.class_source(class_name) > CoberturaDiff.file_source(filename)

  • CoberturaDiff.class_source_hunks(class_name) > CoberturaDiff.file_source_hunks(filename)

  • Reporter.get_source(class_name) > Reporter.get_source(filename)

  • HtmlReporter.get_class_row(class_name) > HtmlReporter.get_class_row(filename)

  • DeltaReporter.get_class_row(class_name) > DeltaReporter.get_file_row(filename)

0.8.0 (2015-09-28)

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: return different exit codes depending on diff status. Thanks Marc Abramowitz.

0.7.3 (2015-07-23)

• a non-zero exit code will be returned if not all changes have been covered. If --no-source is provided then it will only check if coverage has worsened, which is less strict.

0.7.2 (2015-05-29)

• memoize expensive methods of Cobertura (lxml/disk)

• assume source code is UTF-8

0.7.1 (2015-04-20)

• prevent misalignment of source code and line numbers, this would happen when the source is too long causing it to wrap around.

0.7.0 (2015-04-17)

• pycobertura diff now renders colors in terminal with Python 2.x (worked for Python 3.x). For this to work we need to require Click 4.0 so that the color auto-detection of Click can be overridden (not possible in Click 3.0)

• Introduce Line namedtuple object which represents a line of source code and coverage status.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: List of tuples generated or handled by various function now return Line objects (namedtuple) for each line.

• add plus sign (+) in front of lines that were added/modified on HTML diff report

• upgrade to Skeleton 2.0.4 (88f03612b05f093e3f235ced77cf89d3a8fcf846)

• add legend to HTML diff report

0.6.0 (2015-02-03)

• expose CoberturaDiff under the pycobertura namespace

• pycobertura diff no longer reports unchanged classes

0.5.2 (2015-01-13)

• fix incorrect “TOTAL” row counts of the diff command when classes were added or removed from the second report.

0.5.1 (2015-01-08)

• Options of pycobertura diff --missed and --no-missed have been renamed to --source and --no-source which will not show the source code nor display missing lines since they cannot be accurately computed without the source.

• Optimized xpath syntax for faster class name lookup (~3x)

• Colorize total missed statements

• pycobertura diff exit code will be non-zero until all changes are covered

0.5.0 (2015-01-07)

• pycobertura diff HTML output now only includes hunks of lines that have coverage changes and skips unchanged classes

• handle asymmetric presence of classes in the reports (regression introduced in 0.4.0)

• introduce CoberturaDiff.diff_missed_lines()

• introduce CoberturaDiff.classes()

• introduce CoberturaDiff.filename()

• introduce Cobertura.filepath() which will return the system path to the file. It uses base_path to resolve the path.

• the summary table of pycobertura diff no longer shows classes that are no longer present

• Cobertura.filename() now only returns the filename of the class as found in the Cobertura report, any base_path computation is omitted.

• Argument xml_source of Cobertura.__init__() is renamed to xml_path and only accepts an XML path because much of the logic involved in source code path resolution is based on the path provided which cannot work with file objects or XML strings.

• Rename Cobertura.source -> Cobertura.xml_path

• pycobertura diff now takes options --missed (default) or --no-missed to show missed line numbers. If --missed is given, the paths to the source code must be accessible.

0.4.1 (2015-01-05)

• return non-zero exit code if uncovered lines rises (previously based on line rate)

0.4.0 (2015-01-04)

• rename Cobertura.total_lines() -> Cobertura.total_statements()

• rename Cobertura.line_hits() -> Cobertura.hit_statements()

• introduce Cobertura.missed_statements()

• introduce Cobertura.line_statuses() which returns line numbers for a given class name with hit/miss statuses

• introduce Cobertura.class_source() which returns the source code for a given class along with hit/miss status

• pycobertura show now includes HTML source

• pycobertura show now accepts --source which indicates where the source code directory is located

• Cobertura() now takes an optional base_path argument which will be used to resolve the path to the source code by joining the base_path value to the path found in the Cobertura report.

• an error is now raised if Cobertura is passed a non-existent XML file path

• pycobertura diff now includes HTML source

• pycobertura diff now accepts --source1 and --source2 which indicates where the source code directory of each of the Cobertura reports are located

• introduce CoberturaDiff used to diff Cobertura objects

• argument class_name for Cobertura.total_statements is now optional

• argument class_name for Cobertura.total_misses is now optional

• argument class_name for Cobertura.total_hits is now optional

0.3.0 (2014-12-23)

• update description of pycobertura

• pep8-ify

• add pep8 tasks for tox and travis

• diff command returns non-zero exit code if coverage worsened

• Cobertura.branch_rate is now a method that can take an optional class_name argument

• refactor internals for improved readability

• show classes that contain no lines, e.g. __init__.py

• add Cobertura.filename(class_name) to retrieve the filename of a class

• fix erroneous reporting of missing lines which was equal to the number of missed statements (wrong because of multiline statements)

0.2.1 (2014-12-10)

• fix py26 compatibility by switching the XML parser to lxml which has a more predictible behavior when used across all Python versions.

• add Travis CI

0.2.0 (2014-12-10)

• apply Skeleton 2.0 theme to html output

• add -o / --output option to write reports to a file.

• known issue: diffing 2 files with options --format text, --color and --output does not render color under PY2.

0.1.0 (2014-12-03)

• add --color and --no-color options to pycobertura diff.

• add option -f and --format with output of text (default) and html.

• change class naming from report to reporter

0.0.2 (2014-11-27)

• MIT license

• use pypandoc to convert the long_description in setup.py from Markdown to reStructuredText so pypi can digest and format the pycobertura page properly.

0.0.1 (2014-11-24)

• Initial version
