Support for detailed coverage contexts (add --cov-context=test to have the full test name including parametrization as the context). Xdist support: you can use all of pytest-xdist’s features including remote interpreters and still get coverage.

February 15, 2024Which tool to use for pytest coverage reports: pytest-cov or coverage.py ?
pytest-cov is a tiny wrapper around coverage.py. There's really no reason to use coverage.py directly. More on reddit.com

Specifying source files — Coverage.py 7.13.5 documentation
You can further fine-tune coverage.py’s attention with the --include and --omit switches (or [run] include and [run] omit configuration values). --include is a list of file name patterns. If specified, only files matching those patterns will be measured. --omit is also a list of file name patterns, specifying files not to measure.

Best Code Coverage Tools for pytest
Code coverage tools are software utilities designed to analyze the source code of an application and report on the level of code that is tested by automated tests. They usually measure the percentage of lines, blocks, or branches of code that have been executed in a test suite.

Pytest Coverage - How To Use Code Coverage In Python With PyTest - Code With C
September 8, 2022 - Pytest is a fantastic library for writing unit tests. Pytest comes with a built-in feature called code coverage which measures how much code in your project is being tested by your tests.

In these instances the module will appear to not have any coverage of global statements but will have proper coverage of local statements (for example, function definitions will not be traced, but the function bodies will).

Configuration - pytest-cov 7.1.0 documentation
In practical terms this means that if you have multiple configuration files around (tox.ini, pyproject.toml or setup.cfg) you might need to use --cov-config to make coverage use the correct configuration file. Also, if you change the working directory and also use subprocesses in a test you might also need to use --cov-config to make pytest-cov use the expected configuration file in the subprocess.

Instead of using the pytest-cov plugin, use coverage to run pytest:
coverage run -m pytest ....
That way, coverage will be started before pytest.

You can achieve what you want without pytest-cov.
❯ coverage run --source=<package> --module pytest --verbose <test-files-dirs> && coverage report --show-missing
OR SHORTER
❯ coverage run --source=<package> -m pytest -v <test-files-dirs> && coverage report -m
Example: (for your directory structure)
❯ coverage run --source=plugin_module -m pytest -v tests && coverage report -m

The docs for --source say “A list of directories or importable names of code to measure.” How do you import utils? Use that format with the argument. You can examine what coverage is doing by adding --debug=trace, which will log decisions being made about what to trace and what not to trace and w…
