Test failure on specific label

[Berislav Lopac]

In Django 1.3, running a test or test case using a full label (e.g. manage.py test appname.TestCaseClass.test_name as opposed to just manage.py test appname ) fails with the message: ValueError: Test label 'appname.TestCaseClass.test_name' does not refer to a test.

The exact same test code runs fine when run as part of a full suite ( manage.py text appname ), as well as on Django 1.2.

I can't reproduce this - it works fine for me on Django 1.3 and trunk. You'll need to provide more information to show this is a bug in Django and not in your code. However, I think this may well be #15638 you are describing, which is fixed in trunk.

This issue shows up if the tests are defined in the application using the suite(). The django.test.simple.build_suite() function has support for such arrangement (which is why testing the whole app works), but django.test.simple.build_test() does not which is why running a single test class or test case fails with the above error. The fix would be to call build_suite in build_test and then iterate over the TestSuite, just like it is done in the Doctest code in the same function.

@aigarius, considering that build_test() method did not change from Django 1.2 to 1.3 (or 1.4 even), the issue you are describing doesn't match description of this one. Please create a new issue describing your problem. Thanks.
