nosetests resuls xml ends up in wrong directory

Question

I'm running python unit tests using nosetests, and generating an xml report for use by something (Jenkins in this case).

Nosetests didn't appear to be publishing XML results, but after some investigating I realized it was just putting the file in the wrong directory.

Running

nosetests --with-xunit --where foo/bar

With nosetests 1.1.2, this produces the file nosetests.xml in the current directory. However when using nosetests 1.3.0, the file ends up in foo/bar/nosetests.xml.

I figured out this problem just as I was getting ready to ask SO, so I figured I'd answer it for self-reference and anyone else that has a similar issue. — Felix, Mar 20 '14 at 19:58

For some reason removing the --where did the trick for me:

nosetests --with-xunit foo/bar

This generates nosetests.xml in the expected (current) directory.
