This package contains a ``.pth`` file that calls ``coverage.process_startup()``.

.. contents::

Usage
-----

Install it with Pip::

$ pip install coverage-p

Then run your tests like::

$ COVERAGE_PROCESS_START="$PWD/.coveragerc" coverage run -p -m unittest ...

Each Python processes your tests spawn will generate a ``.coverage`` file.
Merge these by running ``coverage combine``.

See the Coverage.py document `Measuring sub-processes `__ for more information.

.. note::

``coverage.process_startup()`` is a no-op unless the ``COVERAGE_PROCESS_START`` environment variable is set.
The ``coverage run`` command does *not* set this variable!

Why not ``coverage_pth``?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The `coverage_pth package `__ attempts to do the same thing,
but the wheels it provides only work on Python 3.6.
It also `appears unmaintained `__.

Compatiblity Policy
-------------------

Any version of CPython `supported upstream `_ and by Coverage.py is considered supported and should be tested in CI.
Additionally, CI covers supported 3.x releases of `PyPy `_, subject to availability in GitHub Actions.

coverage-p is tested against the current version of Coverage.py.
The API coverage-p invokes has been stable for many years, so compatibility issues are not expected.
