Loader: Test discovery
Discovery-based test loader.
This plugin implements nose2’s automatic test module discovery. It
looks for test modules in packages and directories whose names start
with test
, then fires the loadTestsFromModule()
hook for each
one to allow other plugins to load the actual tests.
It also fires handleFile()
for every file that it sees, and
matchPath()
for every Python module, to allow other plugins to
load tests from other kinds of files and to influence which modules
are examined for tests.
