Python Coverage - Analyze only project files

Question

I'm using coverage module in python to check the code coverage. However, while running 'coverage report', the module is analyzing unwanted files shown below other than the project files.

How can I remove unwanted files from executing in coverage report?

Answer 1

The simplest way is to use --source=. so that it will only consider files in the current directory.

Answer 2

You should use --omit flag to exclude the unwanted files. The RegEx is allowed to use. Eg.: coverage run --omit "*/app/*,*__init__*,*_ut.py" You can see more details: https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/v4.5.x/source.html
