Discrepancy in the number of tests runs

[Lars Butler]

There appears to be a discrepancy in the number of tests run, depending on how you run the tests.

Tested with this commit: https://github.com/gem/openquake/commit/d85f06bae4b22bea99633a85dbe53c1d1aa63903

python run_tests.py: 371
nosetests db_tests/*_unittest.py: 56
total: 427

python run_tests.py --all_tests: 412
total: 412

Can anyone else confirm this?

[Mattia Barbon (mattia.barbon)]

I suppose it's because all_tests runs tests/*_unittest.py (which misses tests/risk_tests.py; bad me! no cookie!) and plain run_tests.py does not run hazard_classical_unittest (and maybe some others).

[Lars Butler (lars-butler)]

That's okay, I don't have any cookies anyway. =) No, it's not your fault. I think we've just been using nosetests in an unintended fashion. For instance, we're using 'nosetests db_tests/*_unittest.py' to try and run all the unit tests in this dir. What we _should_ be doing is running 'nosetests --where=db_tests/'. This requires, however, that the db_tests/__init__.py properly imports all of the test modules.
