Coverage not showing executed lines in virtualenv

Question

I have a project and I am trying to run nosetests with coverage. I am running in a virtualenv. When I run

$ python setup.py nosetests

The tests run fine but coverage is not showing that any code is executed (coverage is all 0%).

Answer 1

This is going to require some back and forth. How can I see your code?

And why did you come to stackoverflow for an answer rather than to the developer (that is, me)? :)

Answer 2

try...

easy_install "coverage==2.85"

I was having the same issue and this solved my problem and gave me glorious coverage reports as expected.
