PyDev, PyUnit Usage Questions

In the PyUnit view in Pydev...

Suppose the view currently shows 5 tests, 1 of which fails.

When I right click on the failed test, and then run it (with either Run or Debug), all the other tests disappear from the view. How do I stop it from removing all the other tests?

Next question.....

Also, Pydev then creates a run configuration for the test that I just ran. Which means that if I right click on the test module in the PyDev Package Explorer, and then try to "Run As" "Python Unit Test", I then have to select which run configuration. How do I stop it creating a new run configuration?

Even though it is possibly not the exact approach you may expect, one option is to start the Unittest from the command line and attach the debugger by RemoteDebugServer via 'pydevd.py'.

This is now a fully automated option of ePyUnit which includes the automation of remote debugging with PyDev and Eclipse by 'pydevd.py'. This works seamlessly for the 'subprocess' call as well as independently started command line processes.

See:

Also enhanced unittest integration into PyUnit.

Comments and fixes are welcome.

Have fun..

When you right-click a failed test and run it, you did a new run configuration that just ran it alone (so, you get the results just showing that one).

What is implemented is that you have a 'pin' icon in the pyunit view. You can click it to 'bookmark' the run, so, when you press the 'reload', which is the icon in the right of the pin, it'll reload those results (or you can manually choose the results from any run from the test run history dropdown).

As for running, there's no way to stop it from creating a new run configuration, but what you can do is just re-run the last one with Ctrl+F11 (provided you configured it properly as explained in http://pydev.org/manual_101_run.html).

You can also access old runs with Alt+R, T > number from 1 to 9 an old configuration you want to run.
