How to run specific test in Nose2

问题

In previous version of Nose testing framework, there were several ways to specify only a subset of all tests:

nosetests test.module
nosetests another.test:TestCase.test_method
nosetests a.test:TestCase
nosetests /path/to/test/file.py:test_function

http://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html#selecting-tests

However, I can't find any information about similar test selection in Nose2. There's a mention in docs about different test discovery, but that doesn't seem to be related.

Is there a way to select a specific test or test case in nose2 or (more generally) in unittest2?

回答1:

I have some tests in dev/tests, for example:

dev/tests/test_file.py

I am able to run this with:

nose2 -s dev tests.test_file

Additionally, I'm able to run a specific test method in a test case as follows:

nose2 -s dev tests.test_file.TestCase.test_method

Does that accomplish what you want?

回答2:

You'd have to use a config file:

nose2 -c nose2.cfg

_nose2.cfg:

[unittest]
start-dir=test/module

You'd probably want to just run all tests if you're considering writing a script that will modify that config file and re-run your nose tests. Unit tests should be pretty quick...but if you're just focusing on a specific section of tests, it's worth it to jump into this file and change that line during development.
