I'd appreciate help fixing a problem running `nosetests` on the nose tests in a
file within the current emacs buffer. I'm new to nose and fairly new to python,
but have been coding awhile and using emacs forever, but don't know enough
elisp to debug the code in question. I'm starting a nose tutorial
http://ivory.idyll.org/articles/nose-intro.html
Here's the simplest nose test you can write:
def test_b():
assert 'b' == 'b'
Put this in a file called test_me.py, and then run nosetests.
on an ubuntu box with python 2.6.5, GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1, and
me@it:~$ sudo easy_install nose
me@it:~$ pushd ~/code/python/nose/
me@it:~/code/python/nose$ ls -al
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 36 2011-07-28 18:47 test_me.py
me@it:~/code/python/nose$ nosetests -v
test_stuff.test_b ... ok
--
Ran 1 test in 0.015s
OK
But I wanna run from inside emacs, so I
1 downloaded nose.el from
https://bitbucket.org/jpellerin/nosemacs/src
2 hooked it into my init.el via
me@it:~/.emacs.d$ diff -u tlrPython.el~ tlrPython.el
...
+;;; nose support (for testing)
+(require 'nose)
+(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
+ (lambda ()
+(local-set-key \C-ca 'nosetests-all)
+(local-set-key \C-cm 'nosetests-module)
+(local-set-key \C-c. 'nosetests-one)
+(local-set-key \C-cpa 'nosetests-pdb-all)
+(local-set-key \C-cpm 'nosetests-pdb-module)
+(local-set-key \C-cp. 'nosetests-pdb-one)))
+
3 byte-compiled everything
4 restarted emacs
But when I open ~/code/python/nose/test_me.py in a buffer and do any of the key
sequences
C-c m
C-c .
C-c a
I get buffer=*nosetests* like the following

The only difference in the *nosetests* buffer is the `nosetests` line, which is
variously
C-c m - nosetests -v -w nil -c nilsetup.cfg
/home/me/code/python/nose/test_me.py
C-c . - nosetests -v -w nil -c nilsetup.cfg
/home/me/code/python/nose/test_me.py:test_b
C-c a - nosetests -v -w nil -c nilsetup.cfg
but I note, when running from bash, I get
me@it:~/code/python/nose$ nosetests -v -w nil -c nilsetup.cfg
/home/me/code/python/nose/test_me.py
... same error as above ...
