How to get travis to fail if tests do not have enough coverage for python

Question

Is it possible to have travis fail if my test don't have enough coverage, say < 90% for example?

Normally I run my tests with the following travis config entry.

script:
 - coverage run --source="mytestmodule" setup.py test
 

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

if you add the --fail-under switch to the coverage report command, it will exit with a non-zero exit code (which travis will see as a failure) if the code coverage is below the given percentage.

That would make the script section of your .travis.yml file look like:

script
 - coverage run --source="mytestmodule" setup.py test
 - coverage report --fail-under=80
Of course you could replace 80 with whatever percentage you'd like.
