  # glusto -c 'config.yml unittest_list.yml' -u
  

  To run PyTest tests:

  # glusto -c 'config.yml' --pytest='-v -x tests -m bvt'
  

  To run Nose tests:

  # glusto -c 'config.yml' --nosetests='-v -w tests'
  

  For more info refer the docs.

Writing tests in glusto-tests:

tests directory in glusto-tests contains testcases. One might want to create a dir with feature name as the name of test directory under tests to add new testcases.

TestCases in glusto-tests can we written using standard PyUnit, PyTest or Nose methodologies as supported by glusto framework.

One can follow the PyUnit docs to write PyUnit tests, or PyTest docs to write PyTest tests, or Nose docs to write Nose tests.

Logging:

Log file name and Log level can be passed as argument to glusto command while running the glusto-tests. For example:

# glusto -c 'config.yml' -l /tmp/glustotests_bvt.log --log-level DEBUG --pytest='-v -x tests -m bvt'

One can configure log files, log levels in the testcases as well. For details on how to use glusto framework for configuring logs in tests Refer the following docs.
