:mod:`sphinx.ext.coverage` -- Collect doc coverage stats
========================================================
.. module:: sphinx.ext.coverage
:synopsis: Check Python modules and C API for coverage in the documentation.
.. role:: code-py(code)
:language: Python
This extension features one additional builder, the :class:`CoverageBuilder`.
.. todo:: Write this section.
.. note::
The :doc:`sphinx-apidoc </man/sphinx-apidoc>` command can be used to
automatically generate API documentation for all code in a project,
avoiding the need to manually author these documents and keep them up-to-date.
.. warning::
:mod:`~sphinx.ext.coverage` **imports** the modules to be documented.
If any modules have side effects on import,
these will be executed by the coverage builder when ``sphinx-build`` is run.
If you document scripts (as opposed to library modules),
make sure their main routine is protected by a
``if __name__ == '__main__'`` condition.
.. note::
For Sphinx (actually, the Python interpreter that executes Sphinx)
to find your module, it must be importable.
That means that the module or the package must be in
one of the directories on :data:`sys.path` -- adapt your :data:`sys.path`
in the configuration file accordingly.
To use this builder, activate the coverage extension in your configuration file
and run ``sphinx-build -M coverage`` on the command line.
Builder
-------
.. py:class:: CoverageBuilder
Configuration
-------------
Several configuration values can be used to specify
what the builder should check:
.. confval:: coverage_modules
:type: :code-py:`Sequence[str]`
:default: :code-py:`()`
List of Python packages or modules to test coverage for.
When this is provided, Sphinx will introspect each package
or module provided in this list as well
as all sub-packages and sub-modules found in each.
When this is not provided, Sphinx will only provide coverage
for Python packages and modules that it is aware of:
that is, any modules documented using the :rst:dir:`py:module` directive
provided in the :doc:`Python domain </usage/domains/python>`
or the :rst:dir:`automodule` directive provided by the
:mod:`~sphinx.ext.autodoc` extension.
.. versionadded:: 7.4
.. confval:: coverage_ignore_modules
coverage_ignore_functions
coverage_ignore_classes
coverage_ignore_pyobjects
:type: :code-py:`Sequence[str]`
:default: :code-py:`()`
List of `Python regular expressions`_.
If any of these regular expressions matches any part of the full import path
of a Python object, that Python object is excluded from the documentation
coverage report.
.. _Python regular expressions: https://docs.python.org/library/re
.. versionadded:: 2.1
.. confval:: coverage_c_path
:type: :code-py:`Sequence[str]`
:default: :code-py:`()`
.. confval:: coverage_c_regexes
:type: :code-py:`dict[str, str]`
:default: :code-py:`{}`
.. confval:: coverage_ignore_c_items
:type: :code-py:`dict[str, Sequence[str]]`
:default: :code-py:`{}`
.. confval:: coverage_write_headline
:type: :code-py:`bool`
:default: :code-py:`True`
Set to ``False`` to not write headlines.
.. versionadded:: 1.1
.. confval:: coverage_skip_undoc_in_source
:type: :code-py:`bool`
:default: :code-py:`False`
Skip objects that are not documented in the source with a docstring.
.. versionadded:: 1.1
.. confval:: coverage_show_missing_items
:type: :code-py:`bool`
:default: :code-py:`False`
Print objects that are missing to standard output also.
.. versionadded:: 3.1
.. confval:: coverage_statistics_to_report
:type: :code-py:`bool`
:default: :code-py:`True`
Print a tabular report of the coverage statistics to the coverage report.
Example output:
.. code-block:: text
+-----------------------+----------+--------------+
| Module | Coverage | Undocumented |
+=======================+==========+==============+
| package.foo_module | 100.00% | 0 |

.. versionadded:: 7.2
.. confval:: coverage_statistics_to_stdout
:type: :code-py:`bool`
:default: :code-py:`False`
Print a tabular report of the coverage statistics to standard output.
Example output:
.. code-block:: text
+-----------------------+----------+--------------+
| Module | Coverage | Undocumented |
+=======================+==========+==============+
| package.foo_module | 100.00% | 0 |
