Loading .coverage files from coverage.py into IntelliJ IDEA/PyCharm's coverage view

Question

I have .coverage files indicating code coverage of my Django project produced by coverage.py:

coverage run --branch --source='.' manage.py test style

I can produce nice HTML reports with coverage html, but I'd really prefer to take advantage of IDEA's coverage view to indicate coverage in my project while I work on it.

I can't use IntelliJ's "Run with Coverage" command to generate the coverage data in the standard way. (Please take this for granted; I may ask a second question later about my reasons why.)

Is there any way I can import the .coverage files produces by coverage.py into IntelliJ IDEA?

Answer 1

This is possible, at least as long as you run coverage in the root directory of your project.

First you need convert the .coverage file to coverage.xml by running coverage xml. Then it's just a matter of going to the Analyze menu, selecting "Show Code Coverage Data" and adding the XML file.

Thanks, and now with pycharm 2.7 you should go to Tools -> Show Code Coverage Data and add new File
