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__.:
