I would like to use nose2 with coverage plugin to get the coverage of a Python package but I'm have a hard time configuring it to cover only the package I'm working on. The package is called vimhdl and the coverage section of my unittest.cfg looks like this:
[coverage]
coverage = vimhdl
With nose2, the result doesn't include all files from the package (maybe because of Coverage.py warning: Module vimhdl was previously imported, but not measured. message, but I don't know how to fix it).
Also, when opening the HTML report for a given file, statements such as import logging and modules' doc strings are marked as not covered.
$ nose2 --with-coverage -vvv
...

On the other hand, with nosetests, the result include all files as expected.

How do I configure nose2 coverage plugin to cover only a given module?
The source code is on github at https://github.com/suoto/vim-hdl/tree/unstable if it helps.
coverage.pyAPI directly as show on coverage.py docs. The problem is that it seems to work for only one file; repeating it on a different test source file does not generate a report with combined results. – Thirteen
