sources not displaying in the coverage.xml file

[etaylork]

Describe the bug
In the generated coverage.xml report the tag is not populating the sources path.

To Reproduce

What version of Python are you using?
python = 3.11
pytest = 4.0.0
coverage.py >= 7.0.0

.coveragerc file

[run]
source = app
omit =
    # Ignore tests directory in coverage calculation
    app/app/tests/*
    app/tests/*
    *__init__*
branch = True
relative_files = True

[report]
# Regexes for lines to exclude from consideration
exclude_lines =
    pragma: no cover
    def __repr__
    if self\.debug
    raise AssertionError
    raise NotImplementedError
    if __name__ == .__main__.:

ignore_errors = True

[html]
directory = coverage_html_report

Running with command

pytest --cov=app --cov-config=.coveragerc --cov-report=term-missing

Additional context
This issue is only happening for all coverage.py versions >= 7.0.0 where I cannot get the sources path to display in the coverage.xml file. The tests are running in docker containers.

Hello has there been any update on this issue?

[nedbat]

@etaylork Can you provide us with a way to reproduce the issue?

[etaylork]

@nedbat I provide the details in the description section of my post is there some more information that you require?

[nedbat]

Ideally, you would have a repo with the exact code that demonstrates the failure.

I'm fairly certain the instructions to reproduce are invalid, given the following:

• The config indicates that the source is app while having two exclusions covering it (app and app/app), it's unclear what the overall project structure is as a result.
• The pytest-cov command given overrides the src to be app (via --cov=app) but also disables the XML reporter in favor of the term-missing reporter, so no XML report would be generated
• The expected coverage.xml snippet includes an absolute <source> which is not possible when relative_files=True. Additionally the config itself mentions modules not implied by the config that was given.

If I had to read in between the lines, the given source actually includes a trailing slash and is fixed by the "possibly unreported bug" in #1608.
