7.16.2

Version 7.16.2 — 2026-09-27

• Fix: on Python 3.14 and later, a for loop completing immediately before a function return could mistakenly report an uncovered branch. This is now fixed, closing issue 2168.
• Fix: on Python 3.14 and later, the else clause of a try whose body is a with statement could incorrectly be reported as covered when the with raised. This is now fixed, closing issue 2289.
• Fix: with dynamic_context = test_function, test methods written as @staticmethod or @classmethod were not given a context of their own. Now they are, on Python 3.11 and later. Closes issue 1923.

Version 7.16.1 — 2026-09-13

• Fix: when the body of an irrefutable case (like case _:) is entirely excluded, the case line is now excluded too, just as an excluded else: body removes the else: line. Previously the case line was left behind and reported as missing. Closes issue 1563_ with pull 2269_.

• Fix: using :meth:.CoverageData.update twice on an in-memory database would fail, as described in issue 2279_. This is now fixed.

Version 7.16.0 — 2026-08-28

• When combining files, now path separator slashes will automatically be converted to the local file system style. This makes it less necessary to define [paths] configuration to combine data across operating systems. Fixes issue 2266_.

• The :meth:.Coverage.switch_context method now returns the previous context.

• Fix: previously, a [paths] pattern would be replaced everywhere in a file
