Using for Python code and coverage.py

See original GitHub issue

I was just looking into this for use in the GitHub actions beta, and covering my Python code, but it looks like the coverage tooling for Python doesn’t support lcov output (ie running coverage.py via pytest-cov on pytest unittests).

I know that the coveralls Python library can interface with the coveralls.io API, so I’m curious what the suggested solution might be.

Any ideas?

Just to keep this ticket up-to-date I gave up with this action, and just used the coveralls Python package. Workflow for reference.

Hi @aodj, could you try the steps described here:

https://github.com/coveralls-clients/coveralls-python/blob/master/docs/usage/multilang.rst

e.g.:

coveralls --output=coverage.json
coveralls-lcov -v -n coverage.info > coverage.json

Then use “./coverage.json” as the path-to-lcov input for the Coveralls Action.

Let me know how it goes, thanks!
