In various situations (especially on OS X), pytest segfaults on exit probably
due to Qt/PyQt bugs.
We now have a wrapper script which ignores those segfaults if pytest did run
successfully.
While this makes things a little more complicated and means we'll need to use
`-r` to recreate tox environments, it has several advantages:
- Full support from requires.io (including PRs)
- Workaround for https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/332/ so we can update
virtualenv/pip
Version 4.1 --- 2016-05-21
- The internal attribute Reporter.file_reporters was removed in 4.1b3.
It should have come has no surprise that there were third-party tools
out there using that attribute. It has been restored, but with a
deprecation warning.
Version 4.1b3 --- 2016-05-10
- When running your program, execution can jump from an except X: line
to some other line when an exception other than X happens. This jump
is no longer considered a branch when measuring branch coverage.
- When measuring branch coverage, yield statements that were never
resumed were incorrectly marked as missing. This is now fixed.
- During branch coverage of single-line callables like lambdas and
generator expressions, coverage.py can now distinguish between them
never being called, or being called but not completed.
- The HTML report now has a map of the file along the rightmost edge of
the page, giving an overview of where the missed lines are. Thanks,
Dmitry Shishov.
- The HTML report now uses different monospaced fonts, favoring Consolas
over Courier. Along the way not properly handling one-space indents
was fixed. The index page also has slightly different styling, to try
to make the clickable detail pages more apparent.
- Missing branches reported with coverage report -m will now say ->exit
for missed branches to the exit of a function, rather than a negative
number.
- coverage --help and coverage --version now mention which tracer is
installed, to help diagnose problems. The docs mention which features
need the C extension.
- Officially support PyPy 5.1, which required no changes, just updates
to the docs.
- The Coverage.report function had two parameters with non-None
defaults, which have been changed. show_missing used to default to
True, but now defaults to None. If you had been calling
Coverage.report without specifying show_missing, you'll need to
explicitly set it to True to keep the same behavior. skip_covered used
to default to False. It is now None, which doesn't change the
behavior.
- It's never been possible to pass a namespace module to one of the
analysis functions, but now at least we raise a more specific error
message, rather than getting confused.
- The coverage.process_startup function now returns the Coverage
instance it creates.
- Make a small tweak to how we compare threads, to avoid buggy custom
comparison code in thread classes.
Version 4.1b2 --- 2016-01-23
- Problems with the new branch measurement in 4.1 beta 1 were fixed:
- Class docstrings were considered executable. Now they no longer are.
- yield from and await were considered returns from functions, since
they could tranfer control to the caller. This produced unhelpful
"missing branch" reports in a number of circumstances. Now they no
longer are considered returns.
- In unusual situations, a missing branch to a negative number was
reported.
- The XML report now produces correct package names for modules found in
directories specified with source=.
- coverage report won't produce trailing whitespace.
Version 4.1b1 --- 2016-01-10
- Branch analysis has been rewritten: it used to be based on bytecode,
but now uses AST analysis. This has changed a number of things:
- More code paths are now considered runnable, especially in
try/except structures. This may mean that coverage.py will identify
more code paths as uncovered. This could either raise or lower your
overall coverage number.
- Python 3.5's async and await keywords are properly supported
- Some long-standing branch coverage bugs were fixed:
- functions with only a docstring for a body would incorrectly
report a missing branch on the def line.
- code in an except block could be incorrectly marked as a missing
branch.
- context managers (with statements) in a loop or try block could
confuse the branch measurement, reporting incorrect partial
branches.
- In Python 3.5, an actual partial branch could be marked as
complete.
- Pragmas to disable coverage measurement can now be used on decorator
lines, and they will apply to the entire function or class being
decorated.
- Multiprocessing support is now available on Windows.
- Files with two encoding declarations are properly supported.
- Non-ascii characters in regexes in the configuration file worked in
3.7, but stopped working in 4.0. Now they work again.
- Form-feed characters would prevent accurate determination of the
beginning of statements in the rest of the file. This is now fixed.
This means:
- An annotation like (int, str) is now typing.Union[int, str].
- utils.typing got expanded so it acts like the real typing.py, with
issubclass() working properly with typing.Union and __union_params__
being set.
- A literal string doesn't exist anymore as annotation, instead
@cmdutils.argument now has a 'choices' argument which can be used like
@cmdutils.argument('arg', choices=['val1', 'val2']).
- Argument validating/converting is now entirely handled by
argparser.type_conv instead of relying on python's argparse, i.e.
type/choices is now not passed to argparse anymore.
Change the unit tests to expect the new tabular format.
Also generally clean up the tests -- refactor from a class to
module-level functions as there was no need for a class here.
This way we can update pip independently before installing the rest, and
avoid installing codecov (and thus coverage which attempts to build C
extension) where it's not needed.
