You don't specify class name. This saves some time you need to navigate and copy/paste name of container class. It will save more time if masks are used by default. To illustrate this let's introduce '-l' key that lists all found tests to test test discovery (no errors in this sentence). > regrtest -l *des* test_file.FancyRenameTests.test_no_*des*t_exists test_file.FancyRenameTests.test_*des*t_exists test_file.FancyRenameTests.test_*des*t_opened test_file.GitFile*des*tTests.test_invalid test_file.GitFile*des*tTests.test_readonly test_*des*t.SomeClass.some_test .... *stars* in results highlight matched substring. Rationale: The most common operation when looking for tests to run is grep. You don't need to remember option name to specify mask - just use mask - it will run discovery and execute only tests found. '-l' key in test runner can be used to quickly grep available tests to find the exact name and run only it. ---------- status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8332> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
