Hi, I am a lead maintainer of Python packages in OpenSUSE and I can see the pattern of many packagers adding blindly
python setup.py test
to %check section of our SPEC file. The problem is that if the
package doesn't use unittest (it actually uses nose, pytest or
something), it could lead to zero found tests, which pass and
Python returns exit code 0 (success) even though nothing has been
tested. It seems from the outside that everything is all right,
package is being tested on every build, but actually it is lie.
Would it be possible to change unittest runner, so that when 0
tests pass, whole test suite would end up failing?
Thank you for considering this,
Matěj
