PyCharm run with coverage is not showing

Question

My Python project in PyCharm is not showing the run with coverage option. I am using the community edition.

I am using a workaround with some commands like

coverage run --source=./src/processor -m unittest discover -s src/ && coverage report

This gives me the code coverage report but it does not show which line is not covered by the test case.

I want to know if this is a known issue or it is a paid feature. Is there a way to view the uncovered lines?

Answer 1

Running coverage integrated in the PyCharm IDE is a feature exclusive to the Professional edition. It's stated at the top of the documentation Running with coverage and can also be verified in the edition comparison matrix.

However, you can still generate coverage HTML reports from the terminal and see the results. Although less convenient since you don't get the integrated run button and the red/green lines in the editor window sidebar, it's still possible to have the coverage functionalities.
