Currently, there doesn't seem to be a nice way to have Django pass custom
kwargs to the underlying unittest test runner when running tests.
This is because Django hard-codes the kwargs it passes (see
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/013ee21cf8e1a4b05589c161039f244e356272ba/django/test/runner.py#L505
here] for a direct link to the code):
{{{#!python
def run_suite(self, suite, **kwargs):
resultclass = self.get_resultclass()
return self.test_runner(
verbosity=self.verbosity,
failfast=self.failfast,
resultclass=resultclass,
).run(suite)
}}}
Django's default test runner is `unittest.TextTestRunner`, and here are
all of the kwargs that the runner currently supports (from the function
signature in Python 3.5.2):
{{{#!python
class TextTestRunner(object):
def __init__(self, stream=None, descriptions=True, verbosity=1,
failfast=False, buffer=False, resultclass=None,
warnings=None,
*, tb_locals=False):
}}}
One approach to this ticket might involve having `run_suite()` pass its
kwargs along to the test runner function (instead of "swallowing" them),
and making whatever other code changes are needed to support this (e.g.
modifying `run_tests()` to pass kwargs along to `run_suite()`). More
focused approaches are also possible.
