Python nosetests with coverage no longer shows missing lines
I've been using the following command to run tests and evaluate code coverage for a Python project for over a year now.
nosetests -v --with-coverage --cover-package=genhub genhub/*.py
The coverage report used to include a column on the far right showing the lines missing coverage.

However, the Missing column no longer shows up for me (nose version 1.3.7, coverage.py version 4.1).
I'm aware nose is no longer being supported. Is this change related to that, or something in coverage.py, or both?
Answer
In coverage.py 4.1, I fixed a problem with the coverage.py API defaulting two parameters to non-None values. One of them was show_missing.
The best way to fix this in your project is to set show_missing in your .coveragerc file:
# .coveragerc
[report]
show_missing = True
