Root Cause

The test suite's coverage is below the threshold set by --cov-fail-under. This causes pytest to exit with a non-zero status, failing CI.

generic

中文

测试套件的覆盖率低于 --cov-fail-under 设置的阈值。这导致 pytest 以非零状态退出，使 CI 失败。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    Use coverage report to identify missing lines:
coverage report -m
Then add tests targeting those lines.
  2. 90% success 
    In .coveragerc:
[run]
omit =
    */tests/*
    */migrations/*
  3. 80% success 
    Use # pragma: no branch for branches that are impossible to test.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    This may pass CI but reduces the quality gate, allowing coverage to drop further over time.

  2. 90% fail

    This disables the coverage check entirely, eliminating the quality gate.

  3. 95% fail

    This is a form of cheating and may hide genuinely untested code.
