PyCharm, Django: zero code coverage

Question

PyCharm has a \"Run with Coverage\" action for Django test targets. This runs the tests, but shows zero test coverage (0% files, not covered in the project pane, and all red in

Answer 1

I had a similar issue. I ended up generating xml data using nosetests --cover-xml, but you can also generate an xml from a previous coverage.py run with coverage xml

Then that report can be conveniently loaded in PyCharm/IDEA from the Analyze -> Show Coverage Data… -> + button and selecting the xml file.
