It wraps nose's built-in coverage plugin and outputs results to a structured XML file (coverage.xml by default) instead of or in addition to the standard text report. This format is widely recognized by CI/CD systems and code-quality dashboards for parsing and visualizing test coverage.\n\nThe plugin accepts all standard nose coverage options (like --cover-package) and adds --xcoverage-file to customize the output filename. However, the package has been abandoned since 2016 and targets only Python 2.6\u20133.3, making it unsuitable for modern projects. It is useful only for legacy codebases that remain on nose and older Python versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2016, last commit 2019) and targets unsupported Python versions (2.6\u20133.3). Modern projects should use pytest with pytest-cov or coverage.py directly, which support current Python versions and are actively maintained. Install only if you are maintaining a legacy nose-based project locked to Python 2.7 or early Python 3 and cannot migrate."},"id":"nosexcover","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nosexcover","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nosexcover.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/nosexcover/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-10-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"nosexcover","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Extends nose.plugins.cover to add Cobertura-style XML reports"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":103273,"position":12817,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.11"}
