How to generate coverage from setup.py

Question

I have a setup.py that runs tests via the common test_suite: "tests" setting. What is the best way to generate coverage from here? I figured that by running setup.py via the coverage tool, it would include setup.py in its coverage reports?

I have a load_tests hook in my tests/init.py, which I thought would be a nice place to enable coverage, but even that is too early, since it would start coverage before tests. Then there is the setUpClass function, but that would involve modifying every single test to include another module to start and stop coverage from here. It all seems rather clunky.

Won't that generate coverage for setup.py and the setuptools modules? — Craig

Nope, it should generate the results for all the files it uses, have you tried it so far? — Nafiul Islam

It generated coverage for everything. i.e. httplib and such. — Craig

Maybe being able to setup inclusion/exclusions like with Bullseye would help. — Craig

This will report coverage just for the module you want, assuming that you have a Python module "my_module" with all your .py files and other modules in it:

coverage run --source=my_module/ setup.py test

Just need to apply the filter at report generation time instead of at run-time like Bullseye does:

coverage run ./setup.py test
coverage html --include=libgsync/\*
