Python Nosetesting

In your folder, when you have multiple test_files.py, running the following command picks them all up and runs them

nosetests -vv --exe --with-coverage --cover-erase --cover-html-dir=./tests/python/cover  --cover-html --cover-inclusive --cover-package=app

— exe flag is needed as otherwise the files get skipped

— cover-package = to restrict the folder otherwise it runs through all dependencies

— cover-html = generate cover report to see missing lines

I had started a python shell to query the MySQL database through SQL Alchemy and that had locked up the tables. As a result, my nose tests were hanging — not running/exiting.

I killed the python processes which were locking up the tables and Nose was back up sniffing
