How do I integrate pytest-cov into my testing workflow?

To integrate pytest-cov, first install it using pip: pip install pytest-cov. Then, you can run your tests with coverage by using the command pytest --cov=<your_package>. This will generate a coverage report.

What options do I have for customizing the coverage report?

You can customize the coverage report using options like --cov-report html for an HTML report or --cov-report xml for an XML report. You can also specify the coverage directory with --cov-report=html:/path/to/dir.

Can I exclude certain files or directories from the coverage report?

Yes, you can exclude files or directories by using the --cov-fail-under option or by configuring a .coveragerc file to specify exclusions.

How can I view the coverage results in the terminal?

You can view the coverage results in the terminal by running pytest --cov=<your_package> --cov-report term. This will display the coverage summary directly in your terminal.
