nose-selecttests

Simple nose plugin that enables developers to run subset of collected tests to spare some waiting time for better things.

Supports Python 2.x and 3.x, see .travis.yml for specific versions being tested.

Usage

Examples of using the plugin on the plugin package itself:

Run all tests::

$ nosetests -v

test_configure_complex (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_empty_string (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_none (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_case_insensitive (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_negative (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_unselected (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_unselected_override (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_wildcard (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_options (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_prepareTestCase_exclude (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_prepareTestCase_select (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 13 tests in 0.008s

OK

Only run tests with keyword configure::

$ nosetests -v -t configure

test_configure_complex (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_empty_string (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_none (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.006s

OK

Case insensitive::

$ nosetests -v -t CONFIGURE

test_configure_complex (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_empty_string (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_none (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.006s

OK

Only run tests with keyword configure but exclude tests with keyword complex::

$ nosetests -v -t configure -e complex

test_configure_empty_string (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_none (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 3 tests in 0.006s

OK

Multiple keywords resolve to OR operation::

$ nosetests -v -t none -t simple

test_configure_none (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_is_selected_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 3 tests in 0.018s

OK

To just exclude some tests, use -e which is provided by nose itself::

$ nosetests -v -e is_selected

test_configure_complex (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_empty_string (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_none (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_configure_simple (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_options (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_prepareTestCase_exclude (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok
test_prepareTestCase_select (noseselecttests.tests.NoseSelectPluginTest) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 7 tests in 0.005s

OK
