Do we have anyone willing to spend some time looking at the incompatibilities Ned mentions below to ensure that we have a smooth transition when 4.0 moves out of alpha?
Doug --- Begin forwarded message from Ned Batchelder --- From: Ned Batchelder <[email protected]> To: testing-in-python <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2015 07:22:30 -0400 Subject: [TIP] Coverage.py 4.0 beta 1 Hi all, After more than 18 months of development, the first beta of Coverage.py 4.0 is available: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/coverage/4.0b1 There are a number of very significant changes since v3.7.1, including backward-incompatibilities. I'd really appreciate getting some testing from people using third-party coverage integrations, or using unusual configurations. Bug reports heartily welcomed: https://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy A quick list of the biggest changes are below, more at http://coverage.readthedocs.org/en/coverage-4.0b1/changes.html Thanks, --Ned. Backward incompatibilities: - CPython versions supported are now Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5b4. PyPy2 2.4, 2.6, and PyPy3 2.4 are also supported. - The original command line switches (`-x` to run a program, etc) are no longer supported. - The ``COVERAGE_OPTIONS`` environment variable is no longer supported. It was a hack for ``--timid`` before configuration files were available. - The original module-level function interface to coverage.py is no longer supported. You must now create a ``coverage.Coverage`` object, and use methods on it. - The ``Coverage.use_cache`` method is no longer supported. - The private method ``Coverage._harvest_data`` is now called ``Coverage.get_data``, and returns the ``CoverageData`` containing the collected data. - Coverage.py is now licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. See NOTICE.txt for details. Major new features: - Plugins: third parties can write plugins to add file support for non-Python files, such as web application templating engines, or languages that compile down to Python. A plugin for measuring Django template coverage is available: `django_coverage_plugin`_ - The data storage has been re-written, using JSON instead of pickle. The :class:`CoverageData` class is a new supported API to the contents of the data file. - Gevent, eventlet, and greenlet are now supported, closing `issue 149`_. The ``concurrency`` setting, or the ``--concurrency`` command line switch, specifies the concurrency library in use. Huge thanks to Peter Portante for initial implementation, and to Joe Jevnik for the final insight that completed the work. - Wildly experimental: support for measuring processes started by the multiprocessing module. To use, set ``--concurrency=multiprocessing``, either on the command line or in the .coveragerc file (`issue 117`_). Thanks, Eduardo Schettino. Currently, this does not work on Windows. New features: - Options are now also read from a setup.cfg file, if any. Sections are prefixed with "coverage:", so the ``[run]`` options will be read from the ``[coverage:run]`` section of setup.cfg. Finishes `issue 304`_. - A new option: `coverage report --skip-covered` (or ``[report] skip_covered``) will reduce the number of files reported by skipping files with 100% coverage. Thanks, Krystian Kichewko. This means that empty `__init__.py` files will be skipped, since they are 100% covered, closing `issue 315`_. - You can now specify the ``--fail-under`` option in the ``.coveragerc`` file as the ``[report] fail_under`` options. This closes `issue 314`_. - The ``report`` command can now show missing branches when reporting on branch coverage. Thanks, Steve Leonard. Closes `issue 230`_. - The ``coverage combine`` command now accepts any number of directories or files as arguments, and will combine all the data from them. This means you don't have to copy the files to one directory before combining. Thanks, Christine Lytwynec. Finishes `issue 354`_. - A new configuration option for the XML report: ``[xml] package_depth`` controls which directories are identified as packages in the report. Directories deeper than this depth are not reported as packages. The default is that all directories are reported as packages. Thanks, Lex Berezhny. - A new configuration option, ``[run] note``, lets you set a note that will be stored in the `runs` section of the data file. You can use this to annotate the data file with any information you like. - The COVERAGE_DEBUG environment variable can be used to set the ``[run] debug`` configuration option to control what internal operations are logged. --- End forwarded message --- __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
