Context Reporting Plugin

Currently testing on N in a builtin fashion.:

plugins=/data1/env/local/dyb/external/nose/0.11.4_python2.7/i686-slc5-gcc41-dbg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nose/plugins
cp ctx.py $plugins/
vi $plugins/builtin.py

Enable the builtin via the builtins list:

('nose.plugins.collect', 'CollectOnly'),
#('nose.plugins.ctx', 'Ctx'),
)

enabling plugin

Can be enabled in ~/.noserc but getting users to do something like that is non-trivial

nosetests is a very simple script:

[blyth@belle7 ~]$ cat  /data1/env/local/dyb/external/nose/0.11.4_python2.7/i686-slc5-gcc41-dbg/bin/nosetests
#!/data1/env/local/dyb/external/Python/2.7/i686-slc5-gcc41-dbg/bin/python

from nose import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Registering a plugin without setuptools

Setuptools is always painful, programatic registration via custom nose runner looks attractive:

import nose
from yourplugin import YourPlugin

if __name__ == '__main__':
    nose.main(addplugins=[YourPlugin()])
