Welcome to the django-nose wiki!

The goal of this project is to make using the Nose test runner as easy as possible within the Django Web Framework.

The high-level goals:

• Integration should be as easy as:
  • easy_install django-nose (which installs the nose module automatically)
  • Change the TEST_RUNNER to ‘djangonose.testrunner’ (This module name will likely change)
• All the command-line options for nose be available by running ./manage.py test -h
• All the normal things that Django’s simple test runner does are also performed by django-nose.
  • Includes database setup, teardown
  • Any other mechanisms that are performed (I suspect there is a bit more to this)

Potential add-ons beyond simple nose integration

—smartfailed (name could change)

This was originally described by Javier Guerra on the django-developers thread here.

Here is the basics of what he described:

• if there’s no ‘failure record’ run all
• if there’s some record, first test those that have failed the last time
• if they still fail, stop there
• if there’s no further failures, rerun the whole set
