Figured I should chime in on this. I'm one of the co-creators of the Windmill project and I thought I should clarify the different levels of support Windmill has for django and nose.
Windmill tests have a fairly integrated test framework of their own. Many months back we added a feature that allowed django projects to define a unittest class that bootstrapped the windmill framework to run tests inside django's testing framework. This solution was somewhat hacky as it meant that a single pass or fail was returned to django's testing framework. This support also overrides some django TestCase internals to do what (http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/ 2879) adds. During the PyCon sprints I wrote the management command, which starts up the django test server and starts windmill directly. This meant that the tests showed pass/fail for every test and showed tracebacks for failed tests and returned sys.exit(1) on any failures and all that good stuff. This solution discovers your windmill tests in your django applications and doesn't override any of the django TestCase internals and is the most elegant solution for running django windmill tests thus far. http://trac.getwindmill.com/wiki/WindmillAndDjango#Usingmanage.pytest_windmill If you are moving to nose you should also know that windmill has a great nose plugin. In fact the nose plugin doesn't have to start up windmill's testing framework at all as nose's format for setup/ teardown of modules is compatible with windmill's. http://trac.getwindmill.com/wiki/BookChapter-5-RunningTests#RunningTestsfromNose If you have any questions or concerns we are very attentive to our dev list (http://groups.google.com/group/windmill-dev) and we are also very active on IRC (#windmill or irc.freenode.net) -Mikeal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
