[TIP] How do I get coverage on the test modules themselves?

[Mcgregor, Cecil]

Thank you very much for this reply. After many tries, I finally got coverage on my test files using an almost identical process as you describe. Since this was the first time I used the coverage tool, my ignorance go to me.

I recommend you to use nose plugin.
nosetest will detect test_*.py files automatically and report coverage if option --with-coverage activated.
A small example of usage: http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2012/04/test-coverage-nose-and-coveragepy/
report to nose cover plugin documentation for more information.

I’m using coverage 3.7.1 with python 2.7.3 on Red Hat 4.1.2 linux

I’ve been attempting to get coverage on the test code themselves. So far coverage
seems to ignore these files.

It’s not obvious from the documentation how I can do this.

How do I cover the test_*.py files as part of the coverage reports?

Thanks
