When [hooking up Hudson and Django][hudson-django], I needed a way to get XML coverage reports.
At the time I [forked nose][heisel-nose] itself, but I wasn’t happy with the solution. Folks rightly wouldn’t want to use my fork; I don’t want to commit to keeping up with nose’s development; and [duh, they have a plugin architecture][nose-plugins].
So I’m happy to announce [nose-xcover][nose-xcover]. Install it and it’ll add the –with-xcoverage option which you can use alongside the built-in plugin like so:
#nosetests –with-coverage {{ coverage options }} –with-xcoverage
nosetests –with-coverage –cover-package=myapp –cover-tests –with-xcoverage
I updated my [Django and Hudson guide][hudson-django] to use this instead of the fork.
I hope you find it useful!
