Code Coverage Multiprocessing Issues

[John-P]

It appears that pytest-cov cannot detect code coverage for any function run in a subprocess using the decorator function in multiproc.py. I am not clear if this is a multiprocessing issue of a decorator issue. This needs to be resolved to get anything near accurate code coverage.

There is some information on pytest-cov subprocesses here: https://pytest-cov.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subprocess-support.html.

It is likely due to pathos not being compatible with code coverage tools 😞

We could also look into using the coverage module instead of pytest-cov. This is also defined in the Makefile which we should tidy up too.

We could also consider trying the coverage module. This is what is currently set up in the Makefile (see #8) but we are using pytext-cov on Travis currently.

Marking as closed due to removal of multiprocessing for the time being.
