nose2-kflag 1.0

nose2 plugin to only run tests which match a given substring

Overview

This package provides a nose2 plugin implementing the -k flag known from unittest discover. The plugin allows to select tests by specifying on or more substring patterns.

Patterns

Matching is performed against the full dotted name of each test. If a pattern is prefixed with ‘!’ its meaning is inverted, and only tests not matching the pattern will be selected. Multiple -K flags (plugin rules mandate uppercase) may be given. A test is selected if any of the given positive patterns and all of the given negative patterns apply. Patterns are case sensitive.

Examples

Run one test:

nose2 -K test_foo

Run one test of a specific test class:

nose2 -K FooTestCase.test_bar

Run all tests of a test class:

nose2 -K FooTestCase

Run all foo and bar tests except those in the functional directory:

nose2 -K foo -K bar -K '!functional'

Installation

pip install nose2-kflag

Then add the plugin to your nose2.cfg:

[unittest]
plugins = nose2_kflag
