Hi everyone,

I noticed because of the way we run the py34 tests in tox.ini, I'm not able to 
specify a filter regex the way I normally do as a positional arg, for example: 
'tox -epy34 nova.tests.unit.network' doesn't filter and it runs everything. 
('tox -epy27 nova.tests.unit.network' will only run tests that match 
nova.tests.unit.network).

I couldn't figure out how we could add something to tox.ini to make it work -- 
we're calling ostestr with the --blacklist_file option. I'm not completely 
clear on what 'ostestr --blacklist_file <file> --regex <regex>' does but I 
couldn't get it to do what I want. From the documentation [1], it adds --regex 
to the regex created from the --blacklist_file. The regex from the blacklist 
file looks something like this '^((?!blacklistedstuff).)*$' and if I can only 
append to it, the best I could do was a positive lookbehind but that can't 
match at the beginning of a line. (For example, I tried "ostestr 
--blacklist_file tests-py3.txt --regex '(?<=network)'" and it matched all the 
non-blacklisted tests that ended with the word "network"). It seems like what I 
would need is for --regex to do another re.search() and match the line only if 
the previous regex from the blacklist also matched.

As a workaround to run only network tests, I did:

source .tox/py34/bin/activate
OS_TEST_PATH=./nova/tests/unit/network ostestr --blacklist_file tests-py3.txt

Does anyone know a better way?

Thanks,
-melanie
