nosetests does not consider setup.cfg file in higher directory #338

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a setup.cfg in the root of your project
2. go to a subdirectory with tests in it
3. execute nosetests

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect nosetests to pick up the arguments from the setup.cfg file in the 
higher directory. It 
doesn't have to be perfect but should work in the most common 99% of usecases.

What I see instead is that the setup.cfg file is just ignored - leading to much 
puzzling why that 
may be.

% nosetests --version
nosetests version 0.11.1
