There's no way to specify --show-missing in the .coveragerc file

[nedbat]

I wonder why?

Is that really fixed because I am having the same problem.
Setting show_missing = True in the .coveragerc file has no effect...

I run coverage using nosetests and nose-cove:
nosetests --with-doctest --with-cov --cov-config .coveragerc

[nedbat]

@YAmikep can you show some specifics?

Here is the coveragerc file: https://bitbucket.org/YAmikep/ixml/src/33dfc323694f80e12d91fd8ec58c51fa52b1f297/.coveragerc

Running that will not provide the missing lines information::

nosetests --with-doctest --with-cov --cover-erase --cov-config .coveragerc

I need to add --cov-report term-missing from nose-cov::

nosetests --with-doctest --with-cov --cover-erase --cov-config .coveragerc  --cov-report term-missing

[nedbat]

@YAmikep Unfortunately, nose-cov provides its own value for show-missing, based on the command-line arguments, so it always overrides the value in the .coveragerc. One solution is to avoid nose-cov, and use coverage to run nosetests directly.

All right thank you.
I tried using only coverage but I could not make it work right with nosetests and I want to use nosetests. Any advice to use only nosetests and coverage?
