We will use nose2 to make it easier to discover and run unit tests. We will measure test coverage, and therefore, we will install the necessary package to allow us to run coverage with nose2. First, we will install the nose2 and cov-core packages in our virtual environment. The cov-core package will allow us to measure test coverage with nose2. Then, we will create a new PostgreSQL database that we will use for testing. Finally, we will create the configuration file for the testing environment.
Make sure you quit the Flask's development server. Remember that you just need to press
Ctrl
+
C
in the terminal or the Command Prompt window in which it is running. We just need to run the following command to install the nose2 package:
pip install nose2
The last lines of the output will indicate that the django-nose package has been successfully installed.
