I have a python script which takes a config file on command line and gives an output.
I am trying to see how I can use nosetests to run all these files.
I read through the nosetests info on google but i could not follow how to run them with the config file.
Any ideas on where I could get started?
Something like this should work:
import sys
import nose
def test_me():
assert True
if __name__ == '__main__':
module_name = sys.modules[__name__].__file__
config_name = 'nose.cfg'
result = nose.run(
argv=[sys.argv[0],
module_name,
'--config=' + config_name]
)
You can also pass your config instance, as described in the docs for nose.run() arguments here.
I didnt have to do any of those. Just nosetests by themselves execute any test beginning with "test_....py" and make sure you use "--exe" if they are executable if not you can skip that option. The nosetests help page on wiki really helps.
