POnose runs test on function in setUp when no suite specified
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a tests file in one of my Pyramid projects. It has <em>one</em> suite with <em>six</em> tests in it:</p> <pre><code>... from .scripts import populate_test_data class FunctionalTests(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): settings = appconfig('config:testing.ini', 'main', relative_to='../..') app = main({}, **settings) self.testapp = TestApp(app) self.config = testing.setUp() engine = engine_from_config(settings) DBSession.configure(bind=engine) populate_test_data(engine) def tearDown(self): DBSession.remove() tearDown() def test_index(self): ... def test_login_form(self): ... def test_read_recipe(self): ... def test_tag(self): ... def test_dish(self): ... def test_dashboard_forbidden(self): ... </code></pre> <p>Now, when I run <code>nosetests templates.py</code> (where <code>templates.py</code> is the mentioned file) I get the following output:</p> <pre><code>......E ====================================================================== ERROR: templates.populate_test_data ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/yentsun/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nose-1.1.2-py2.7.egg/nose/case.py", line 197, in runTest self.test(*self.arg) File "/home/yentsun/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nose-1.1.2-py2.7.egg/nose/util.py", line 622, in newfunc return func(*arg, **kw) TypeError: populate_test_data() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 7 tests in 1.985s FAILED (errors=1) </code></pre> <p>When I run the tests with test suite specified <code>nosetests templates.py:FunctionalTests</code>, the output is, as expected, ok:</p> <pre><code>...... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 6 tests in 1.980s OK </code></pre> <p>Why do I have different output and why is an extra (7th) test run?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE.</strong> Its a bit frustrating, but I when removed the word <em>test</em> from the name <code>populate_test_data</code> (it became <code>populate_dummy_data</code>), everything worked fine.</p> <p>The problem is solved for now, but maybe somebody knows what went wrong here - why a function from <code>setUp</code> had been tested?</p>
