My project has 160 or so test functions spread across 29 test modules. The layout is something like this:

project_root/ <project>/ <module>.py <module>.py ... tests/ <test_module>.py <test_module>.py ... unit_tests.py

Running tests one-by-one ("trial tests.<test_module>") works perfectly. However, I want to test them all in one go, and can't find a "proper" way to do it.

Currently to test it, I have a module, tests.unit_tests, which imports all the tests from all other modules in the tests namespace via:

from tests.<test_module_1> import * from tests.<test_module_2> import * ...

However, this is less than ideal, since if someone makes a unit test class with the same name as one in another module, they overlap and one ends up untested. (We just got blindsided by this to some degree, hence the e-mail.)

I'll probably end up just attaching the test module's name as a prefix to each test class, but I wanted to ask, is there a better, "proper" way of doing this?

Thanks.
