STINNER Victor added the comment: Ah something else: doctests are not fully supported. ./python -m test test_extcall --list-cases This command has not output, whereas Lib/test/test_extcall.py contains doctests. test_builtins works because it uses: def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):

Louie Lu added the comment: Serhiy and Victor suggest moving this option to regrtest. open a new PR 2238 addressed this. Also, because moving into regrtest, some test that used `requires` will need to pass option when using it. e.g.: $ ./python -m test test.test_curses --list-cases

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The main problem is doctests. Numerous "doctest.DocTestCase.runTest" look useless and confusing. Running tests instead of listing them is bad. It is not clear why in one cases --list-tests outputs full qualified test names, while in other cases it outputs

STINNER Victor added the comment: I used ./python -m test Lib/test/test_threading.py --list-tests. I would like to be able to use this feature in regrtest too: ./python -m test test_threading --list-tests Sadly, this option already exists and only return test files, not test methods.

Julien Palard added the comment: It works in "discover" mode, I tested: ./python -m unittest discover ./Lib/unittest/test/ --list-tests and it worked. So maybe the --list-tests should be moved to _getDiscoveryArgParser? Also spotted that tests are printed on stderr, typically when the users

Julien Palard added the comment: If it can be of any help, pytest have a "pytest --collect-only", it may make sense to use the same option name for consistency. I also though about "--dry-run" but I still prefer --list-tests or --collect-only. -- nosy: +mdk

STINNER Victor added the comment: I wrote this patch because I'm trying to find which test of test_threading leaks a reference: ./python -m test -R 3:3 test_threading Usually, I modify Lib/test/test_threading.py to remove tests one by one. I "bisect" the test manually. But this process is

STINNER Victor added the comment: Maybe the feature already exists but I failed to find it. Since I'm suprised that nobody implements that before (in unittest), I wait for a first feedback before starting to document the new feature and to write an unit test for it. support.run_unittest()
