[Zope3-dev] RFC: test.py -s src/zope/something

[Marius Gedminas]

A long time ago test.py -s accepted directory names.  Later it was
changed to take package names instead.  There is some
backwards-compatibility code that replaces slashes with dots, but it is
incomplete: test.py -s src/zope would try to run the tests for a
nonexistent package "src.zope".

I have expanded the backwards-compatibility/convenience code in a
branch:

  http://svn.zope.org/zope.testing/branches/filter-by-dirs/?rev=71986&view=rev

The test runner has a mapping of directory names to package names, and I
use it in reverse to get the package name from the directory name.  As a
result you can use your shell's directory name completion for the test
runner command line, and, for example, test.py -s src/zope now works.

I would appreciate it if someone could check out this branch and run its
tests on Windows.
