Using nosetests with distutils2

I am trying to use nosetests as part of my building/publishing chain, which is based on distutils2 (using the setup.cfg file instead of the "legacy" setup.py script).

Unluckily, when I issue:

pysetup run test

I get:

running test
running build
running build_py

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

OK

...yet, if I issue nosetests from the same location I can see all my tests being executed. My directory structure looks like:

|-- docs
|-- my_package
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- foobar.py
|   `-- tests
|       `-- foobar_test.py
|-- README.md
|-- requirements.txt
`-- setup.cfg

and the relevant part of my setup.cfg file contains:

[test]
runner = nosetests

What am I doing wrong? The official documentation is less than perfect on this point...

Have you tried with:

pysetup run test --runner=nosetests

I have the same problem and it seems to me that distutils2 doesn't care too much of what I type in [test] section (I can write anything, it never raises an error).

Anyway it won't run either, becouse both --runner and --suite options expect a module.

The only way I was able to run tests was with a "run_tests.py like" module that I put inside a package and than I call with:

pysetup run test --suite=package_were_tests_runner_is.run_tests
