7.4.4

Version 7.4.4 — 2024-03-14

• Fix: in some cases, even with [run] relative_files=True, a data file could be created with absolute path names. When combined with other relative data files, it was random whether the absolute file names would be made relative or not. If they weren’t, then a file would be listed twice in reports, as detailed in issue 1752. This is now fixed: absolute file names are always made relative when combining. Thanks to Bruno Rodrigues dos Santos for support.
• Fix: the last case of a match/case statement had an incorrect message if the branch was missed. It said the pattern never matched, when actually the branch is missed if the last case always matched.
• Fix: clicking a line number in the HTML report now positions more accurately.
• Fix: the report:format setting was defined as a boolean, but should be a string. Thanks, Tanaydin Sirin. It is also now documented on the configuration page.

7.4.3

Version 7.4.3 — 2024-02-23

• Fix: in some cases, coverage could fail with a RuntimeError: “Set changed size during iteration.” This is now fixed, closing issue 1733.

7.4.2

Version 7.4.2 — 2024-02-20

• Fix: setting COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon no longer errors on 3.11 and lower, thanks Hugo van Kemenade. It now issues a warning that sys.monitoring is not available and falls back to the default core instead.

7.4.1

Version 7.4.1 — 2024-01-26

• Python 3.13.0a3 is supported.
• Fix: the JSON report now includes an explicit format version number, closing issue 1732.

7.4.0

Version 7.4.0 — 2023-12-27

• In Python 3.12 and above, you can try an experimental core based on the new https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.monitoring.html#module-sys.monitoring module by defining a COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon environment variable. This should be faster for line coverage, but not for branch coverage, and plugins and dynamic contexts are not yet supported with it. I am very interested to hear how it works (or doesn’t!) for you.

7.3.4

Version 7.3.4 — 2023-12-20

• Fix: the change for multi-line signature exclusions in 7.3.3 broke other forms of nested clauses being excluded properly. This is now fixed, closing issue 1713.
• Fix: in the HTML report, selecting code for copying won’t select the line numbers also. Thanks, Robert Harris.

7.3.3

Version 7.3.3 — 2023-12-14

• Fix: function definitions with multi-line signatures can now be excluded by matching any of the lines, closing issue 684. Thanks, Jan Rusak, Maciej Kowalczyk and Joanna Ejzel.
• Fix: XML reports could fail with a TypeError if files had numeric components that were duplicates except for leading zeroes, like file1.py and file001.py. Fixes issue 1709.
• The coverage annotate command used to announce that it would be removed in a future version. Enough people got in touch to say that they use it, so it will stay. Don’t expect it to keep up with other new features though.
• Added new debug options:
  • pytest writes the pytest test name into the debug output.
  • dataop2 writes the full data being added to CoverageData objects.

7.3.2

Version 7.3.2 — 2023-10-02

• The coverage lcov command ignored the [report] exclude_lines and [report] exclude_also settings (issue 1684). This is now fixed, thanks Jacqueline Lee.
• Sometimes SQLite will create journal files alongside the coverage.py database files. These are ephemeral, but could be mistakenly included when combining data files. Now they are always ignored, fixing issue 1605. Thanks to Brad Smith for suggesting fixes and providing detailed debugging.
• On Python 3.12+, we now disable SQLite writing journal files, which should be a little faster.
• The new 3.12 soft keyword type is properly bolded in HTML reports.
• Removed the “fullcoverage” feature used by CPython to measure the coverage of early-imported standard library modules. CPython stopped using it in 2021, and it stopped working completely in Python 3.13.

7.3.1

Version 7.3.1 — 2023-09-06

• The semantics of stars in file patterns has been clarified in the docs. A leading or trailing star matches any number of path components, like a double star would. This is different than the behavior of a star in the middle of a pattern. This discrepancy was identified by Sviatoslav Sydorenko, who provided patient detailed diagnosis and graciously agreed to a pragmatic resolution.
• The API docs were missing from the last version. They are now restored.

7.3.0

Version 7.3.0 — 2023-08-12

• Added a Coverage.collect() context manager to start and stop coverage data collection.
• Dropped support for Python 3.7.
• Fix: in unusual circumstances, SQLite cannot be set to asynchronous mode. Coverage.py would fail with the error Safety level may not be changed inside a transaction. This is now avoided, closing issue 1646. Thanks to Michael Bell for the detailed bug report.
• Docs: examples of configuration files now include separate examples for the different syntaxes: .coveragerc, pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, and tox.ini.
• Fix: added nosemgrep comments to our JavaScript code so that semgrep-based SAST security checks won’t raise false alarms about security problems that aren’t problems.
• Added a CITATION.cff file, thanks to Ken Schackart.
