I'm using nosetests and the coverage extension to measure the coverage of my unit tests.
I've recently moved to including the six module with my package to make it easier for users.
The problem is that having six locally seems to mess up the coverage report.
I run my tests like this:
nosetests --cover-erase --with-coverage --cover-html --cover-package seaborn
The report ends up including references to files that aren't in my directory tree:
Name Stmts Miss Cover Missing
-----------------------------------------------------
ConfigParser 391 391 0% 90-753
HTMLParser 306 306 0% 11-472
Queue 125 125 0% 3-244
copy_reg 105 105 0% 7-188
htmlentitydefs 9 9 0% 4-273
httplib 704 704 0% 69-1342
repr 103 103 0% 3-132
seaborn 9 0 100%
<...>
The reason I think six is causing the problem is that when I search for those names, they only appear in six.py:
$ git grep ConfigParser
seaborn/external/six.py: MovedModule("configparser", "ConfigParser"),
$ git grep copy_reg
seaborn/external/six.py: MovedModule("copyreg", "copy_reg"),
At no point in my code do I import * from six, all of my imports are specific, like from .external.six.moves import range
How can I exclude these objects/files from the coverage report?
I've tried adding omit = seaborn/external to my .coveragerc (under [run]), and that excludes the files in seaborn/external from the report, but not the names that six seems to be defining.
Put this into your .coveragerc instead.
[run]
include = seaborn/*
