wantFile plugin method works only with directory as path parameter #1016

Closed ykvch closed 8 years ago

ykvch commented 8 years ago

Steps:

  1. Create plugin with wantFile method and tests inside files matching test*.py pattern
  2. Call nose runner with that plugin and test*.py as parameter

Actual:

  1. Tests are run. Plugin method wantFile is not called

Expected:

  1. wantFile called for every file matching test*.py

Note: wantFile works if path parameter is a directory

Two things: 1) I'm not sure this is a bug. If you explicitly name a file, it seems reasonable to test it. 2) Nose is unmaintained these days. You'd do better to look at Nose2.

Yeah, thought about this too (and then actually saw that in the code). While it was a little surprising to see plugin "not working" (at a first glance) while trying to run a subset of my tests from directory by a wildcard. Thanks.
