Pyramid Unittesting my application

[Rescommues]

I am using pyramid 1.2b2 and have some unittests I'd like to run. But
I can not get past the error below.
I started my project with sqlalchemy scaffolding.
I have created a simple unit tests (starting point actually) in
tests.py which looks like this:


import unittest
from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid import testing

class testBasic( unittest.TestCase ):
def setUp( self ):
self.config = testing.setUp( )

def tearDown( self ):
testing.tearDown( )

def test_first_last( self ):
pass

In the errors it seems that something is wrong with
"paster_plugins=['pyramid']" in setup.py.
I should note that "python setup.py develop" executes successfully.


This is the result when I run the test:


(ENV2)rescommunes@snax ~/development/Shad $ python setup.py test -q

Any suggestions would be great.
Thank You.

The default test runner is easily confused and outputs very poor error
messages. You might try using the Nose testrunner instead. Do
"easy_install nose" in your virtualenv, then run "setup.py nosetests"
instead of "setup.py test". It will likely fail, but it will provide a
better error message.

Thanks, this allows me to run my tests.
