Empty lines count towards coverage

[bpasero]

Testing #24156

I had this test:

import pytest
import time


@pytest.mark.parametrize("num", range(1, 10))
# this is unclear





def test_num(num):
    time.sleep(0.3)
    assert True
    # nd even more

And the coverage without empty lines is at 85.71% but now at 66.67%:

gave this a try and am not seeing this- what version of python are you on? Are any of those empty lines actually containing spaces?

@eleanorjboyd I am using 3.12.5

Find the file with new lines attached:

huh even with the right python version I am not seeing the comments impact code coverage. Did you have any pytest arguments during this run? I think I can just close this since the decision on the code coverage percentage / numbers are dictated by coverage.py and communicated the extension so in the end we don't have control over the numbers as long as they are getting there correctly. You could always try running it in the terminal python -m pytest --cov=. to see if you get a similar result because our goal is to always mirror the tool behavior.

Because we have not heard back with the information we requested, we are closing this issue for now. If you are able to provide the info later on, then we will be happy to re-open this issue to pick up where we left off.

Happy Coding!
