New submission from blokeley <bloke...@gmail.com>: `python -m unittest discover` caught me out.
I had a test module called `test-foo.py` and no test was loaded. When I renamed to `test_foo.py` it worked. The documentation says "For a project’s tests to be compatible with test discovery they must all be importable". I didn't realise that test-foo would not be importable. Could the documentation say "For a project’s tests to be compatible with test discovery they must all be importable, so ensure that the module names are valid Python identifiers."
