Changes between Version 118 and Version 119 of DeveloperGuidelinesTesting

v118	v119
87	87	Web2py imposes a severe problem on any external test runner, i.e. application code is provided a global environment by web2py, it must expect that environment. Therefore, the test runner must reproduce and provide that environment to the tests. This means that we can't use any external test runner that doesn't know about web2py.
88	88
89		To cope with web2py, a wrapper and a plugin has been written, which means that nosetests isn't run in the normal way~~, although we'll aim for that as much as possible. E~~xtra arguments are just passed on to nose by the wrapper command, so the command's argument format is the same as that of the original nosetest command.

91	91	To run the unit tests in Sahana Eden via nose, there is a nose.py command in the tests/ folder within the application. Note: This command is not installed outside of the application as it is designed for developers, who may have several versions of Sahana Eden at any one time.
