v7.2.0

Compare Source

• Added a new setting[report] exclude_also to let you add more exclusions
  without overwriting the defaults. Thanks,Alpha Chen <pull 1557_>,
  closingissue 1391.

• Added a :meth:.CoverageData.purge_files method to remove recorded data for
  a particular file. Contributed byStephan Deibel <pull 1547_>_.

• Fix: when reporting commands fail, they will no longer congratulate
  themselves with messages like "Wrote XML report to file.xml" before spewing a
  traceback about their failure.

• Fix: arguments in the public API that name file paths now accept pathlib.Path
  objects. This includes thedata_file andconfig_file arguments to
  the Coverage constructor and thebasename argument to CoverageData.
  Closesissue 1552_.

• Fix: In some embedded environments, an IndexError could occur on stop() when
  the originating thread exits before completion. This is now fixed, thanks to
  Russell Keith-Magee <pull 1543_>, closingissue 1542.

• Added apy.typed file to announce our type-hintedness. Thanks,
  KotlinIsland <pull 1550_>_.

v7.1.0

• Added: the debug output file can now be specified with[run] debug_file
  in the configuration file. Closesissue 1319_.

• Performance: fixed a slowdown with dynamic contexts that's been around since
  6.4.3. The fix closesissue 1538. Thankfully this doesn't break the
  Cython change that fixedissue 972_. Thanks to Mathieu Kniewallner for
  the deep investigative work and comprehensive issue report.

• Typing: all product and test code has type annotations.

• Fix: On Python 3.7, a file with type annotations but nofrom __future__ import annotations would be missing statements in the coverage report. This
  is now fixed, closingissue 1524_.

• Performance: an internal cache of file names was accidentally disabled,
  resulting in sometimes drastic reductions in performance. This is now fixed,
  closingissue 1527_. Thanks to Ivan Ciuvalschii for the reproducible test
  case.

v7.0.3

• Fix: when using pytest-cov or pytest-xdist, or perhaps both, the combining
  step could fail withassert row is not None using 7.0.2. This was due to
  a race condition that has always been possible and is still possible. In
  7.0.1 and before, the error was silently swallowed by the combining code.
  Now it will produce a message "Couldn't combine data file" and ignore the
  data file as it used to do before 7.0.2. Closesissue 1522_.

v7.0.2

Compare Source

• Fix: when using the[run] relative_files = True setting, a relative
  [paths] pattern was still being made absolute. This is now fixed,
  closingissue 1519_.

• Fix: if Python doesn't provide tomllib, then TOML configuration files can
  only be read if coverage.py is installed with the[toml] extra.
  Coverage.py will raise an error if TOML support is not installed when it sees
  your settings are in a .toml file. But it didn't understand that
  [tools.coverage] was a valid section header, so the error wasn't reported
  if you used that header, and settings were silently ignored. This is now
  fixed, closingissue 1516_.

• Fix: adjusted how decorators are traced on PyPy 7.3.10, fixingissue 1515_.

• Fix: thecoverage lcov report did not properly implement the
  --fail-under=MIN option. This has been fixed.

• Refactor: added many type annotations, including a number of refactorings.
  This should not affect outward behavior, but they were a bit invasive in some
  places, so keep your eyes peeled for oddities.

• Refactor: removed the vestigial and long untested support for Jython and
  IronPython.

v7.0.1

• When checking if a file mapping resolved to a file that exists, we weren't
  considering files in .whl files. This is now fixed, closingissue 1511_.

• File pattern rules were too strict, forbidding plus signs and curly braces in
  directory and file names. This is now fixed, closingissue 1513_.

• Unusual Unicode or control characters in source files could prevent
  reporting. This is now fixed, closingissue 1512_.

• The PyPy wheel now installs on PyPy 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9, closingissue 1510_.
