Download and install

From sources:

Download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fullcoverage
Install (in a virtualenv, if you do not want to mess with your distribution installation system):
python3 setup.py install



From pip:
pip install fullcoverage

Quick and dirty Debian (and Ubuntu?) package
This requires stdeb to be installed:
python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/fullcoverage-<VERSION>_all.deb




How-to
Let’s say you want to get you module foobar thoroughly covered.

Install fullcoverage:
pip install fullcoverage

Enable this plugin. That is, in the .coveragerc file of foobar, have the lines:
[run]
plugins = fullcoverage.plugin

Optionnaly, if you want to restrict the test report to your module, you can add, in the same .coveragerc file:
[fullcoverage.plugin]
source = foobar

If you already have tests that import all of foobar submodules, that’s it. Otherwise, somewhere in your tests, have the following lines import everything in your module:
import foobar
import fullcoverage

fullcoverage.import_all(foobar)

That’s it! You can now run your tests:
coverage run --source foobar -m unittest
coverage report --fail-under=100




Bugs and Limitations

This does not work with doctest. Please feel free to send a patch.
This only works with python 3.5. Please feel free to send a patch.
Even though tests cover 100 % of your module, it may still contain bugs.



FAQ

Isn’t it dangerous? Are you running every line of a module to get 100 % test coverage? What if you run a line shutil.rmtree('/') ?

This plugins does not run random line of codes. It imports every plugin that is to be covered, but it cheats coverage into thinking they were thoroughly tested, without testing anything. If your module is safe to import, it is safe to use fullcoverage. If your module is not safe to import, fix your module.

If your plugin is so great, why aren’t you showing off with one of those 100 % coverage badges?

Well, fullcoverage is hosted on a Gitlab instance, which does not provide those badges yet. But this plugin is implemented to test itself, and it is thoroughly covered by tests.
