Sometimes you have code you want to exclude from the test coverage report, because it doesn't really make sense to test it.
For example, maybe you want to exclude:
if __name__ == "__main__": main() The old advice was to add something like this to .coveragerc:
[report] # Regexes for lines to exclude from consideration exclude_lines = # Have to re-enable the standard pragma: pragma: no cover # Don't complain if non-runnable code isn't run: if __name__ == .__main__.: But since coverage.py 7.2.0 (2023-02-22) you can use exclude_also instead and skip that pragma:
[report] # Regexes for lines to exclude from consideration exclude_also = # Don't complain if non-runnable code isn't run: if __name__ == .__main__.: Which is:
[report] # Regexes for lines to exclude from consideration -exclude_lines = - # Have to re-enable the standard pragma: - pragma: no cover - +exclude_also = # Don't complain if non-runnable code isn't run: if __name__ == .__main__.: Thanks
