Claudiu.Popa added the comment: Yes, it iterates over every member of the namespace path. The new attached patch fixes this behaviour, by checking that each loader path starts with top_level_dir when set_implicit_top is False (if set_implicit_top is True, top_level_dir is irrelevant, start_dir will be the package name).
Also, with the original patch there were other issues: 1. if no tests were found for the namespace package, the same failure as before would have occurred at the lines: + if not tests: + tests = list(self._find_tests(start_dir, pattern)) 2. it iterated every subfolder, by dropping the check for __init__.py. To fix this, I added a new keyword argument to _find_tests, `namespace` which defaults to False. If it is True, then we are checking a namespace package and subfolders will be checked even if they don't have a __init__.py file. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29556/unittest-17457.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17457> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
