Hmm, I felt strongly enough about including tests in coverage measurements that I wrote about it twice, just a year apart...

@nedbat 💯

Just yesterday, because of including tests in coverage, I spotted an assert which wasn't being run...

And it masked not one but two bugs in the assert!

https://github.com/jazzband/prettytable/commit/2f8240527ad6966bb22088c51b575edcd7400aa0 #Python #test #coverage

The fix required unindenting the line so it could be run, and removing a full stop from the expected output, and turning the exception into a string.

@nedbat And on the other hand we have Go, which (as far as I could tell) does not let you include tests in coverage measurements.

#golang

@tmr232 How does it prevent you?
