Issue 11178: Running tests inside a package by module name fails (original) (raw)

Reported by a user and verified by me with both Python 2.7 and 3.2.

Trying to run tests by module or package name seems to fail.

directory structure:

project root: C:\Users\hpierson\Projects\pytest
    \test
        __init__.py (empty)
        testfoo.py (sample test file

running test package by name - no tests discovered

C:\Users\hpierson\Projects\pytest PS» cpy C:\Python31\Scripts\unit2.py test

Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

running test module by name - can't find module
