Can I restrict nose coverage output to directory (rather than package)?

Question

My SUT looks like:

foo.py
bar.py
tests/__init__.py [empty]
tests/foo_tests.py
tests/bar_tests.py
tests/integration/__init__.py [empty]
tests/integration/foo_test         


        

Answer 1

You can use it like this:

--cover-package=foo --cover-package=bar

I had a quick look at nose source code to confirm: This is the line

    if options.cover_packages:
        for pkgs in [tolist(x) for x in options.cover_packages]:

Answer 2

You can use:

--cover-package=.

or even set environment variable

NOSE_COVER_PACKAGE=.
