Comment:
So I've spent a bit of time working on this. The attached patch implements
full support for the `--exclude` option both for the `test` and `runtests`
commands. To do so I've had to refactor the `DjangoTestSuiteRunner` quite
heavily following an approach that one may not find appropriate, so I'd
welcome some feedback.
In a nutshell, the suggested approach is to generate a one-level-deep
dictionary: label->test, where label is a full string reference to a test
(of the form app.TestClass.test_method) and test is either a test case or
a doctest instance. For example:
{{{#!python
{
'auth.AnonymousUserBackendTest.test_get_all_permissions':
<django.contrib.auth.tests.auth_backends.AnonymousUserBackendTest
testMethod=test_get_all_permissions>,
'auth.AnonymousUserBackendTest.test_has_module_perms':
<django.contrib.auth.tests.auth_backends.AnonymousUserBackendTest
testMethod=test_has_module_perms>,
...
}
}}}
This then makes it trivial to exclude some given tests before running the
test suite by removing the dictionary items corresponding to the excluded
tests' labels. However, there is a concern: using this flat structure
means that some information may get lost in the process (e.g. the nesting
of the various sub-suite instances) which may potentially introduce some
annoying limitations in the future.
By the way, about 13 tests out of 4065 don't seem to be run after this
patch. I need to narrow down the cause of this. Another note: it seems
bizarre that, even in trunk, both `unittest.TestLoader` and
`unittest.defaultTestLoader` are used in `simple.py`.
