Nosetests: command not found

Python
#1

Hi,

When I run ‘nosetests’ I keep getting the message ‘command not found’ - I have actually installed nose2, is this why?

#2

Shouldn’t matter which one you install, but to help you we’ll need more information. What operating system are you on? Python Version?

#3

I’m using a Mac and Python 3.6

I got nosetests to run - I wasn’t in the vitualenv

#5

Score, perfect. Can you help out the next person and describe your solution and problem more? Thanks.

I am using a Mac and Python 3.6.

When I typed the command ‘nosetests’ in the Terminal:

skeleton $ nosetests

I got the following error message:

-bash: nosetests: command not found

Then I realised I was not in the virtual environment that we created, so I entered the command:

lpthw $. ~/.venvs/lpthw/bin/activate

and my prompt changed to the virtual environment prompt:

(lpthw) $

I then went into the skeleton project folder and entered ‘nosetests’:

(lpthw) skeleton $ nosetests

The test was then carried out.
