> Django-discover-runner is basically just a smarter version of Django's default test runner.

personally I use nose wrapped in django-jenkins and so far happy with it

my test conf is

    TEST_RUNNER = 'django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner'
    JENKINS_TEST_RUNNER = 'django_jenkins.nose_runner.CINoseTestSuiteRunner'
    JENKINS_TASKS = (
    'django_jenkins.tasks.run_pep8',
    'django_jenkins.tasks.run_pylint',
    'django_jenkins.tasks.with_coverage',
    'django_jenkins.tasks.django_tests',
    'django_jenkins.tasks.run_sloccount',
    )
    NOSE_ARGS = ['--with-fixture-bundling', ]

and run it

    ./manage.py jenkins --pep8-ignore=E501,W602 --pylint-rcfile=.pylint --coverage-html-report=reports/html

the pep8-ignore is because it somehow doesn't respect the .pep8

fixture-bundling is a nice feature that speeds up the process

Yeah, that'll work. django-discover-runner is less invasive, IMO, though, and works really nicely with standard Django testing setups or more-package-oriented ones.

sure. discover-runner is still more convenient than the default one. from what I read on django-dev, 1.6 will probably switch to unittest2 which has a better discovery, not sure about the details though since I switched to nose.

Thanks for making these, Ken. I just did the first one yesterday, and it's been great so far. I especially appreciate the full transcript / notes for the videos.
