Nose unable to find tests in ubuntu

Question

Is there any reason why Nose wouldn\'t be able to find tests in Ubuntu 9.04?

I\'m using nose 0.11.1 with python 2.5.4.
I can run tests only if I explicitly spec

Answer 1

I had the same problem. My tests ran just fine in Windows, but not in Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu, if you run:

nosetests -vv --collect-only

You'll probably see that it's skipping your test file because it's an executable: _Tools/LintControlFiles/test_HgLint.py is executable; skipped

In order to get nose to consider executables, run it like this:

nosetests --exe
