Duvet
=====
Duvet is a GUI tool for visualizing code coverage results produced by
`coverage.py`_.
Why the name Duvet? Because a duvet doesn't just provide coverage - it keeps you
warm and cozy.
.. _coverage.py: http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/
Quickstart
----------
In your virtualenv, install Duvet, generate some coverage data, and then run ``duvet``::
$ pip install duvet
$ coverage run myscript.py arg1 arg2
$ duvet
This will pop up a GUI window, displaying all source code in your current working
directory. Any source file mentioned in the coverage data will be highlighted in the
source file tree, with a color indicating how good the coverage is (red for bad
coverage, green for perfect coverage). If you select a filename in the tree, the
contents of that file will be displayed, with the missed lines highlighted.
Problems under Ubuntu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ubuntu's packaging of Python omits the ``idlelib`` library from it's
base packge. If you're using Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 13.04, you can install
``idlelib`` by running::
$ sudo apt-get install idle-python2.7
For other versions of Python and Ubuntu, you'll need to adjust this as
appropriate.
Problems under Windows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're running Duvet in a virtualenv, you'll need to set an
environment variable so that Duvet can find the TCL graphics library::
$ set TCL_LIBRARY=c:\Python27\tcl\tcl8.5
You'll need to adjust the exact path to reflect your local Python install.
You may find it helpful to put this line in the ``activate.bat`` script
for your virtual environment so that it is automatically set whenever the
virtualenv is activated.
