[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on coverage to permit the latest version.

Changelog

Sourced from coverage's changelog.

Version 7.8.0 — 2025-03-30

• Added a new source_dirs setting for symmetry with the existing source_pkgs setting. It's preferable to the existing source setting, because you'll get a clear error when directories don't exist. Fixes issue 1942. Thanks, Jeremy Fleischman <pull 1943_>.

• Fix: the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment variable new in Python 3.11 is properly supported, closing issue 1696. Thanks, Philipp A. <pull 1700_>. This works properly except for a detail when using the coverage command on Windows. There you can use python -m coverage instead if you need exact emulation.

Version 7.7.1 — 2025-03-21

• A few small tweaks to the sys.monitoring support for Python 3.14. Please test!

.. _changes_7-7-0:

Version 7.7.0 — 2025-03-16

• The Coverage object has a new method, :meth:.Coverage.branch_stats for getting simple branch information for a module. Closes issue 1888_.

• The :class:Coverage constructor<.Coverage> now has a plugins parameter for passing in plugin objects directly, thanks to Alex Gaynor <pull 1919_>_.

• Many constant tests in if statements are now recognized as being optimized away. For example, previously if 13: would have been considered a branch with one path not taken. Now it is understood as always true and no coverage is missing.

• The experimental sys.monitoring support now works for branch coverage if you are using Python 3.14.0 alpha 6 or newer. This should reduce the overhead coverage.py imposes on your test suite. Set the environment variable COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon to try it out.
