How can I compare XML reports from Python coverage?

How can I compare XML reports from Python coverage?

You can use tools like diff or specialized libraries like xmltodict to parse and compare the XML reports.

Can you show me an example of using xmltodict for this?

Sure! First, install xmltodict using pip. Then, load both XML files and convert them to dictionaries for comparison.

What if the reports have different structures?

In that case, you might need to normalize the data before comparison. You can create a function to extract relevant fields.

Are there any tools that automate this process?

Yes, tools like pytest-cov can generate coverage reports, and you can use CI/CD tools to automate the comparison.
