How to properly perform code coverage of every python file in a repo?

Question

I'm using this library https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/v4.5.x/cmd.html

There are bunch of files and directories in a repo

I'm running bash script to interate through every python file and perform coverage run a.py

Is there any way to run a summarized result? Maybe create a big XML file as a summary?

Answer 1

You can run coverage with a '-a' option to add the results for successive executables.

coverage run A.py
coverage run -a B.py
coverage run -a C.py
...
coverage html -d coverage-report
