Running test coverage
---------------------
Generating a report of lines that do not have unit test coverage can indicate where
to start contributing. ``pytest`` integrates with ``coverage.py``, using the ``pytest-cov``
plugin. This assumes you have already run the testsuite (see previous section)::
pip install pytest-cov
After this has been installed, you can output a report to the command line using this command::
py.test --cov=flask tests/
Generate a HTML report can be done using this command::
py.test --cov-report html --cov=flask tests/
Full docs on ``coverage.py`` are here: https://coverage.readthedocs.io
Caution
=======
pushing
-------
This repository contains several zero-padded file modes that may cause issues when pushing this repository to git hosts other than github. Fixing this is destructive to the commit history, so we suggest ignoring these warnings. If it fails to push and you're using a self-hosted git service like Gitlab, you can turn off repository checks in the admin panel.
cloning
-------
The zero-padded file modes files above can cause issues while cloning, too. If you have
::
[fetch]
fsckobjects = true
or
::
[receive]
fsckObjects = true
set in your git configuration file, cloning this repository will fail. The only solution is to set both of the above settings to false while cloning, and then setting them back to true after the cloning is finished.

row factory function is useful. It is executed for every result returned

Or even simpler::
This will make the sqlite3 module return dicts for this database connection, which are much nicer to deal with. Even more simply, we could place this in ``get_db`` instead::
db.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
This would use Row objects rather than dicts to return the results of queries. These are ``namedtuple`` s, so we can access them either by index or by key. For example, assuming we have a ``sqlite3.Row`` called ``r`` for the rows ``id``, ``FirstName``, ``LastName``, and ``MiddleInitial``::
>>> # You can get values based on the row's name
>>> r['FirstName']
John
>>> # Or, you can get them based on index
>>> r[1]
John
# Row objects are also iterable:
>>> for value in r:
... print(value)
1
John
Doe
M
Additionally, it is a good idea to provide a query function that combines
getting the cursor, executing and fetching the results::
