MultiNoseTests

Helper utility to run multiple nosetests suites. Mostly used for making makefile scripts.

This utility runs multiple nosetest suites and merges their xml reports using xunitmerge. The advantage of this utility is that it guarantees that all nosetests suites are executed even if any of them fails (exit status >0). This is especially useful if multiple nosetests need to be run in Makefile script because normally, if any of them will fail, the rest of the script wont get executed which will skew the nosetests xml report as well as coverage data which are especially useful for CI systems such as Jenkins.

Installing

You can install multinosetests using pip:

$ pip install multinosetests

Using

You can use the utility via an executable multinosetests:

$ multinosetests --help
$ multinosetests "nosetests tests/foo -sv --with-xunit --with-coverage" \
                 "nosetests tests/bar -sv --with-xunit --with-coverage"

Testing

To run the tests you need to install testing requirements first:

$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Then to run tests, you can use nosetests:

$ nosetests -sv
