| ## coverage\_enabled |
| |
| ``` |
| bool configuration.coverage_enabled |
| ``` |
| |
| A boolean that tells whether code coverage is enabled for this run. Note that this does not compute whether a specific rule should be instrumented for code coverage data collection. For that, see the [`ctx.coverage_instrumented`](/versions/8.4.2/rules/lib/builtins/ctx#coverage_instrumented) function. |
| |
| ## default\_shell\_env |
| |
| ``` |
| dict configuration.default_shell_env |
| ``` |
| |
| A dictionary representing the static local shell environment. It maps variables to their values (strings). |
| |
| ## host\_path\_separator |
| |
| ``` |
| string configuration.host_path_separator |
| ``` |
| |
| Returns the separator for PATH environment variable, which is ':' on Unix. |
| |
| ## test\_env |
| |
| ``` |
| dict configuration.test_env |
| ``` |
| |
| A dictionary containing user-specified test environment variables and their values, as set by the --test\_env options. DO NOT USE! This is not the complete environment! |
