How do I set up pytest-cov for my project?

To set up 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_name.

What if I want to see a coverage report after running the tests?

You can generate a coverage report by adding the --cov-report option. For example, use pytest --cov=your_package_name --cov-report=html to create an HTML report.

Can I configure it to ignore certain files or directories?

Yes, you can ignore files by adding a .coveragerc file in your project root and specifying the omit option. For example:

[run]
omit = 
    tests/*
    */migrations/*

Is there a way to integrate it with CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely! You can add the pytest-cov command to your CI/CD configuration file, ensuring that coverage reports are generated with each build.
