Update
This code has been integrated into the main tree.
I decided it would be good to have a coverage report of our Python code,
with nice visualization like Clover.
So I took Ron Smith’s PyAntTasks, and added py-cover
task to them. This will run coverage for every test, and a cumulative one. In other words, you can see what code a particular test exercises, and what code all the tests in your tree exercise.
This also modifies py-test
task to include packagedtests
attribute – see below.
The newly added py-cover
task runs Ned Batchelder’s coverage.py (download it separately), and is specified as follows in your build.xml
:
Here, is a FileSet specifying tests to run, is a FileSet
specifying source code to cover.
The attributes are:
reportsDir
– where the coverage reports gopackagedtests
– this idiosyncrasy is prompted by our tree setup. If this attribute istrue
it means that the test files reside in Python packages,false
otherwise. (In our case, they do not; they are in the tree but are not packages. Note that the originalpy-test
task assumed they are in packages, I have changed this too).coverage
– path tocoverage.py
on your system (which you downloaded separately, right?)
P.S. I know about the colorize.py thingie, but I rolled my own (uglier, of course) for this one.
