Fix example regex for pytest-cov
Fix the documentation example for a regex for pytest-cov
coverage reporting to avoid an unnecessary case-insensitivity qualifier which causes the regex to fail to compile in most languages/engines.
This improves the ability of downstream validators to validate typical (per the docs) .gitlab-ci.yaml
files as containing well-formed regexes in this location, e.g., the validation under the gitlab-ci
JSON Schema with a "format"
-respecting JSON Schema validator.
Resolves #441181 (closed)
Upon review, I found that there was no true reason to apply case-insensitivity to this string.
coverage
has effectively always output all-caps TOTAL
, and there's no reason to expect this to change after a very long history with fairly consistent string formats.
For reference, I did some git-blame
hunting and found the first commit on GitHub in which coverage
provided TOTAL
in its output, 16 years ago.
https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/commit/0cc8fd18714cb214327a0a58b704401a9efdf8dc
Therefore, in a deviation from the original issue report, I have not made the regex use [Tt][Oo][Tt][Aa][Ll]
, but TOTAL
instead. This reads better for the typical user, and should have no negative impact.
