Hi,
I start my pet project using Python Nose as test runner. At the start, Twisted not used at all. Later I discovered Twisted and start using it... but testing Twisted requires trial.
I resist migrating to Trial and ended up with a custom code for running Twisted tests together with Nose:
https://github.com/chevah/chevah-rhinoplasty
I though I can share this code on the list, in case there is someone else wrestling with deferres testing outside of Trial.
Any feedback or comments is much appreciated.
The implementation is somewhat saddening in its use of Twisted internals (which makes it fragile and subject to easy breakage by new Twisted releases) and limited platform support (it won't work on Windows, afaik). You may also find problems with direct use of `reactor.iterate`, since use of this API is highly discouraged due to re-entrancy issues and its implementation is not all that well tested by Twisted's own test suite. If it works for you, great, but I would hesitate to recommend it to new projects as a testing tool. As Itamar suggests, nose should be able to run xUnit-style tests. Jean-Paul
