Coverage.py Badge

A small script to generate coverage badges using Coverage.py. Example of a generated badge:

The badge template has been taken from shields.io, therefore it should look mostly good. (The spec is a bit stricter on the margins, but I can't easily do text width calculations in Python so the margins might not always be 4px.)

➡️ Note: If you need a script with a few more features (e.g. test badges, flake8 reports, etc), check out genbadge.

Installation

Run:

pip install coverage-badge

Usage

First, run Coverage.py to generate the necessary coverage data. Then you can either return the badge SVG to stdout:

$ coverage-badge

...or write it to a file:

$ coverage-badge -o coverage.svg

It's important that you run coverage-badge from the directory where the .coverage data file is located.

Different colors for cover ranges:
