Question

I am trying to run all pyunit tests in a directory using nosetests. The problem is that I have 4 tests in this directory and nosetests is only running one of them. If I run the other three tests individually like:

nosetests -v thistestwillrunnow.py

then the tests will run. But I thought just saying:

nosetests

would run all tests in the directory without having to run them one at a time.

How does nosetests find tests to run?

Answer 1

“If it looks like a test, it’s a test” !

This is extracted from nose documentation.

Personnaly I store my tests files in test sub-directories right in my module’s directories like this :

src/module1/test
src/module2/test
src/module2/sub_module/test

And it works very well 🙂
