Tal, this is an existing issue about documenting how to run IDLE coverage. It was left open to add something about the *nix equivalent of my Windows instructions. I would like to finish this, with updates elsewhere in the text. I'm dubious about Louie's patch (PR 2733) for multiple reasons: it starts with venv's, which I consider a separate issue; it gives the commands that might go in a script, but does not comprise a script itself; I cannot tell if it uses an IDLE specific .coverage. Louie ceased IDLE involvement in Sept 2017, so I am closing his patch in favor of whatever you might contribute. The .coveragerc copied into the README is missing some additions, and I plan to add some annotations to the original. Do you think it better to have a copy in README.txt, or a separate .coveragerc file in idle_test? Same question for cover.bat. "5. Test Coverage" begins with "Install the coverage package into your Python 3.6 site-packages directory." That should be '3.x' or 'the most recent installed Python possible', so it is most likely to be compatible with current master branch python. I should also mention that we only need coverage on master, and have other revisions in mind. Cheryl mentioned above instructions for coverage of all IDLE tests. I have the command, commented out, in my original cover.bat. After retesting, I could add it, commented out, to the copy. ---------- nosy: +taleinat -wohlganger versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 -Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue30934> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
