How do I run a single test with Nose in Pylons

Question

I have a Pylons 1.0 app with a bunch of tests in the test/functional directory. I\'m getting weird test results and I want to just run a single test. The nose documentation say

Answer 1

I wrote this small script, based on the previous answers:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# 
# Usage:
# 
#     ./noseTest  
# 
# e.g.:
# 
#     ./noseTest test/MainTest.py mergeAll
#     
# It is assumed that the file and the test class have the _same name_ 
# (e.g. the test class `MainTest` is defined in the file `MainTest.py`).
# If you don't follow this convention, this script won't work for you.
#

testFile="$1"
testMethod="$2"

testClass="$(basename "$testFile" .py)"

nosetests "$testFile:$testClass.test_$testMethod"
