|
| +Coverage works well, and I want it to properly measure any Python program, but
|
| +there are some situations it can't cope with. This page details some known
|
| +problems, with possible courses of action, and links to coverage.py bug reports
|
| +with more information.
|
| +
|
| +I would love to :ref:`hear from you <contact>` if you have information about any of
|
| +these problems, even just to explain to me why you want them to start working
|
| +properly.
|
| +
|
| +If your problem isn't discussed here, you can of course search the `coverage.py
|
| +bug tracker`_ directly to see if there is some mention of it.

|
| +Things that don't work
|
| +----------------------
|
| +
|
| +There are a number of popular modules, packages, and libraries that prevent
|
| +coverage.py from working properly:
|
| +
|
| +* `execv`_, or one of its variants. These end the current program and replace
|
| + it with a new one. This doesn't save the collected coverage data, so your
|
| + program that calls execv will not be fully measured. A patch for coverage.py
|
| + is in `issue 43`_.
|
| +
|
| +* `multiprocessing`_ launches processes to provide parallelism. These
|
| + processes don't get measured by coverage.py. Some possible fixes are
|
| + discussed or linked to in `issue 117`_.
|
| +
|
| +* `gevent`_, which is based on `greenlet`_, and is similar to `eventlet`_. All
|
| + of these manipulate the C stack, and therefore confuse coverage.py.
|
| + `Issue 149`_ has some pointers to more information.
|
| +
|
| +* `sys.settrace`_ is the Python feature that coverage.py uses to see what's
|
| + happening in your program. If another part of your program is using
|
| + sys.settrace, then it will conflict with coverage.py, and it won't be
|
| + measured properly.

| +
|
| +Things that require --timid
|
| +---------------------------
|
| +
|
| +Some packages interfere with coverage measurement, but you might be able to
|
| +make it work by using the ``--timid`` command-line switch, or the ``[run]
|
| +timid=True`` configuration option.
|
| +
|
| +* `DecoratorTools`_, or any package which uses it, notably `TurboGears`_.
|
| + DecoratorTools fiddles with the trace function. You will need to use
|
| + ``--timid``.

|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Really obscure things
|
| +---------------------
|
| +
|
| +* Python 2.5 had a bug (`1569356`_) that could make your program behave
|
| + differently when being measured with coverage. This is diagnosed in `issue 51`_.

|
| +Still having trouble?
|
| +---------------------
|
| +
|
| +If your problem isn't mentioned here, and isn't already reported in the `coverage.py bug tracker`_,
|
| +please :ref:`get in touch with me <contact>`, we'll figure out a solution.
