| python coverage report error | no source for code: PATH + '/_remote_module_non_scriptable.py'

Question

When I run coverage run -m pytest tests/ followed by coverage report in the terminal

I get the following error:

No source for code: '/private/var/.../_remote_module_non_scriptable.py'.

It seems like a similar issue has been resolved already, however I do not understand the solution.

Can a friendly soul help me understand what might be the cause of the problem?

There are several simple and concrete suggestions in that post. (1) Delete all the .pyc files, (2) Do nosetests --with-coverage --cover-erase to accomplish the same thing. (3) Do coverage xml -i. Have you done any of those? — Tim Roberts

Hi @TimRoberts ,coverage xml -i worked for me. Generally, the -i just skipped the files it failed on (in my case the _remote_module_non_scriptable.py), so the prettier output coverage report -i also worked. Thanks. — mckris

coverage xml -i doesn't work for me.

I found out that the <tmpdir>/_remote_module_non_scriptable.py is generated by pytorch.

Solution: add to pyproject.toml

[tool.coverage.run]
omit = [
    # omit pytorch-generated files in /tmp
    "/tmp/*",
]

For me, the temp file was in the /private/var/folders/ temp directory, which I omitted in pyproject.toml.
