tests - use wildcards in labels

[אורי]

I want to add wildcards to test labels. For example, if I have tests at speedy.core.accounts.tests.test_views, and also speedy.net.accounts.tests.test_views and speedy.match.accounts.tests.test_views, I want to specify all of them with a wildcard - something like speedy.*.accounts.tests.test_views. Or even *.test_views which will include all the test_views files in my project. And also *.test_v* which will be all the files that start with test_v. This should be similar to wildcards in bash and in operating systems. Is it possible to add such a feature?

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion though 2 things:

• feature requests must be submitted to the Django Forum first; and
• check out pytest (with pytest-django plugin) because it has the ability to specify file paths & run specifc tests by keyword. Perhaps this suits your needs?

I'll also note that it's already possible to pass wildcards to the -k option: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/django-admin/#cmdoption-test-k (see also Python's official doc ​https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#cmdoption-unittest-k)

Thank you, I was not aware of the -k option!
