Description
In the documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/testing/overview/, running a testcase is given as ./manage.py test animals.AnimalTestCase which is inaccurate. Running a testcase class is possible "./manage.py test animals:AnimalTestCase" or ./manage.py test animals.AnimalTestCase.test_animals_can_speak.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The documentation you have referenced is for Django 1.5, which used "old style" test discovery; if you're using Django 1.5, the syntax described is completely accurate. The syntax changed in Django 1.6, and the 1.6 docs reflect that change.
The "colon" syntax is not accurate for any version, AFAIK - to the best of my knowledge, that's a Nose extension, and has nothing to do with Django's test suite.
