[Pydev-users] [Users] Using unittest2 with Pydev test runner

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

I've recently started using unittest2 to test my Python 2.6 project, because
I want the new testing features from Python 2.7's unittest (unittest2 is a backport).
However, it appears that Pydev's test runner ignores my "if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest2.main()" block, and runs the regular unittest.main() function instead.
This ends up breaking a bunch of the unittest2 functionality, and I'd really
like to know how to get around that.

I can make the code work by running the module as a regular "Python run" instead
of "Python unit-test", but I can't do that for more than one module at a time
(as far as I know). Since my code shop's standard pre-deploy testing procedure
is to right-click the project in the package explorer and choose "Run As > Python
unit-test", I need my code to work properly when batch executed like that.
