When you run tests or applications that spawn child processes, coverage.py normally only tracks the parent process. This package installs a .pth file into your Python environment that activates coverage.py's process_startup feature automatically, enabling coverage collection in subprocesses without requiring explicit code changes.\n\nThe package is designed for test suites that spawn multiple processes in parallel or that change directories during execution. You configure it by setting the COVERAGE_PROCESS_START environment variable to point to a .coveragerc file, and then any Python process started in that environment will automatically have coverage tracking enabled. The package depends only on coverage being installed.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2016, last commit 2018) with no indication of compatibility with modern Python or coverage versions. The problem it solves\u2014subprocess coverage tracking\u2014may now be better addressed by current coverage.py features or alternative approaches. Only install if you are locked to a legacy Python version and coverage version where this package is known to work."},"id":"coverage-enable-subprocess","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/coverage-enable-subprocess","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/coverage-enable-subprocess.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/coverage-enable-subprocess/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-05-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"coverage_enable_subprocess","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"enable python coverage for subprocesses"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":223678,"position":9242,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0"}
