I am unable to use nose (nosetests) in a virtualenv project - it can't seem to find the packages installed in the virtualenv environment.
The odd thing is that i can set
test_suite = 'nose.collector'
in setup.py and run the tests just fine as
python setup.py test
but when running nosetests straight, there are all sorts of import errors.
I've tried it with both a system-wide installation of nose and a virtualenv nose package and no luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
You need to have a copy of nose installed in the virtual environment. In order to force installation of nose into the virtualenv, even though it is already installed in the global site-packages, run pip install
with the -I
flag:
(env1)$ pip install nose -I
From then on you can just run nosetests
as usual.
