That would be the proposed --list-tests option, wouldn't it? Or do you want a list of modules that have at least one test remaining after all the filtering (including --layer, --level and --test) is done? > OTOH, being "not very > accurate" would make the feature as implemented a bit of an attractive > nuisance. I phrased it badly. s/It is not very accurate/It may not match user expectations/. As implemented in that branch, --list-modules is the list of test modules that will be imported. That is accurate. My doubts lie in whether this is what the user wants. A long time ago, the Zope 3 test runner would only import unit or functional test modules if it saw the corresponding option on the command line. I was used to that. I think that is why I thought seeing unit tests in 'test.py -f --list-modules' might be confusing. Marius Gedminas -- What goes up, must come down. Ask any system administrator.
