nose: Minimal plugin

Plugins work as long as they implement the minimal interface required by nose.plugins.base . They do not have to derive from nose.plugins.Plugin .

>>> class NullPlugin(object):
...
...     enabled = True
...     name = "null"
...     score = 100
...
...     def options(self, parser, env):
...         pass
...
...     def configure(self, options, conf):
...         pass

>>> import unittest
>>> from nose.plugins.plugintest import run_buffered as run

>>> run(suite=unittest.TestSuite(tests=[]),
...     plugins=[NullPlugin()]) # doctest: +REPORT_NDIFF

Plugins can derive from nose.plugins.base and do nothing except set a name.

>>> import os
>>> from nose.plugins import Plugin

>>> class DerivedNullPlugin(Plugin):
...
...     name = "derived-null"

Enabled plugin that's otherwise empty

>>> class EnabledDerivedNullPlugin(Plugin):
...
...     enabled = True
...     name = "enabled-derived-null"
...
...     def options(self, parser, env=os.environ):
...         pass
...
...     def configure(self, options, conf):
...         if not self.can_configure:
...             return
...         self.conf = conf

>>> run(suite=unittest.TestSuite(tests=[]),
...     plugins=[DerivedNullPlugin(), EnabledDerivedNullPlugin()])
...     # doctest: +REPORT_NDIFF
