v7.6.8

Compare Source

• Fix: the LCOV report code assumed that a branch line that took no branches
  meant that the entire line was unexecuted. This isn't true in a few cases:
  the line might always raise an exception, or might have been optimized away.
  Fixes issue 1896_.

• Fix: similarly, the HTML report will now explain that a line that jumps to
  none of its expected destinations must have always raised an exception.
  Previously, it would say something nonsensical like, "line 4 didn't jump to
  line 5 because line 4 was never true, and it didn't jump to line 7 because
  line 4 was always true." This was also shown in issue 1896_.

v7.6.7

• fix: ugh, the other assert from 7.6.5 can also be encountered in the wild,
  so it's been restored to a conditional. Sorry for the churn.

v7.6.6

Compare Source

• One of the new asserts from 7.6.5 caused problems in real projects, as
  reported in issue 1891_. The assert has been removed.

v7.6.5

Compare Source

• fix: fine-tuned the exact Python version (3.12.6) when exiting from with
  statements changed how they traced. This affected whether people saw the
  fix for issue 1880_.

• fix: isolate our code more from mocking in the os module that in rare cases
  can cause bizarre behavior <pytest-cov-666_>_.

• refactor: some code unreachable code paths in parser.py were changed to
  asserts. If you encounter any of these, please let me know!

v7.6.4

Compare Source

• fix: multi-line with statements could cause contained branches to be
  incorrectly marked as missing (issue 1880_). This is now fixed.

v7.6.3

Compare Source

• Fix: nested context managers could incorrectly be analyzed to flag a missing
  branch on the last context manager, as described in issue 1876_. This is
  now fixed.

• Fix: the missing branch message about not exiting a module had an extra
  "didn't," as described in issue 1873_. This is now fixed.

v7.6.2

Compare Source

• Dropped support for Python 3.8 and PyPy 3.8.

• Fix: a final wildcard match/case clause assigning to a name (case _ as value) was incorrectly marked as a missing branch. This is now fixed,
  closing issue 1860_.

• Fewer things are considered branches now. Lambdas, comprehensions, and
  generator expressions are no longer marked as missing branches if they don't
  complete execution. Closes issue 1852_.

• Fix: the HTML report didn't properly show multi-line f-strings that end with
  a backslash continuation. This is now fixed, closing issue 1836, thanks
  to LiuYinCarl and Marco Ricci <pull 1838_>.

• Fix: the LCOV report now has correct line numbers (fixing issue 1846) and
  better branch descriptions for BRDA records (fixing issue 1850). There
  are other changes to lcov also, including a new configuration option
  :ref:line_checksums <config_lcov_line_checksums> to control whether line
  checksums are included in the lcov report. The default is false. To keep
  checksums set it to true. All this work is thanks to Zack Weinberg
  (pull 1849_ and pull 1851_).

• Fixed the docs for multi-line regex exclusions, closing issue 1863_.

• Fixed a potential crash in the C tracer, closing issue 1835, thanks to
  Jan Kühle <pull 1843_>.
