How to get unit test coverage results in Eclipse + Pydev?

Question

I know Eclipse + PyDev has an option Run As => 3 Python Coverage. But all it reports is:

Ran 6 tests in 0.001s

OK

And it says nothing about code coverage. How to get a code coverage report in Pydev?

Answer 1

See if this helps http://www.machine-envy.com/blog/2006/07/29/automated-python-testing-with-nose-and-eclipse/

It uses nosetests with the –with-coverage option.

Answer 2

• Run a file with "Python Coverage"
• Window > Show View > Code Coverage Results View
• Select the directory in which the executed file is
• Double-click on the executed file in the file list
• Statistics are now at the right, not executed lines are marked red in the code view

Actually this is a really nice feature, didn't know about it before :)
