JavaScript vs. Pine Script vs. Python vs. pytest-cov Comparison Chart

Pine Script® is TradingView’s programming language. It allows traders to create their own trading tools and run them on our servers. We designed Pine Script® as a lightweight, yet powerful, language for developing indicators and strategies that you can then backtest. Most of TradingView’s built-in indicators are written in Pine Script®, and our thriving community of Pine Script® programmers has published more than 100,000 community scripts. It’s our explicit goal to keep Pine Script® accessible and easy to understand for the broadest possible audience. Pine Script® is cloud-based and therefore different from client-side programming languages. While we likely won’t develop Pine Script® into a full-fledged language, we do constantly improve it and are always happy to consider requests for new features. Because each script uses computational resources in the cloud, we must impose limits in order to share these resources fairly among our users.

This plugin produces coverage reports. Compared to just using coverage run this plugin does some extras. Subprocess support, so you can fork or run stuff in a subprocess and will get covered without any fuss. Xdist support, so you can use all of pytest-xdist’s features and still get coverage. Consistent pytest behavior. All features offered by the coverage package should work, either through pytest-cov’s command line options or through coverage’s config file. Under certain scenarios, a stray .pth file may be left around in site packages. The data file is erased at the beginning of testing to ensure clean data for each test run. If you need to combine the coverage of several test runs you can use the --cov-append option to append this coverage data to coverage data from previous test runs. The data file is left at the end of testing so that it is possible to use normal coverage tools to examine it.
