django-nose: Fails to see custom user model with --failed

Question

I'm running tests with nose and would like to take advantage of the --failed flag. But as soon as I add it I get errors like these for user related models:

./manage.py test  # works
./manage.py test --failed # fails

CommandError: One or more models did not validate:
vod.video: 'user' has a relation with model accounts.CustomUser, which has either not been installed or is abstract.

Packages:

Django==1.6.7
django-nose==1.3
nose==1.3.4

What am I doing wrong?

Update: I don't see the issue on my master branch. In the new branch I'm started to use the TenantTestCase class from django-tenant-schemas. May be the cause of the problem.

The traceback I get:

./manage.py test --failed --traceback
nosetests --failed --verbosity=1
Creating test database for alias 'default'...

Could be test logic-specific. Have you noticed if the problem persists if different tests are failing? Thanks. — alecxe, Jan 21 '15 at 07:00
@alecxe, I'm progressing through broken test cases but the problem persists so far. — djangonaut, Jan 22 '15 at 00:11
Thanks. My point is that I doubt `--failed` is really a culprit of the problem. It is just a failing test, or may be an order in which tests are executed. Could you show the complete error traceback? — alecxe, Jan 22 '15 at 02:24
@alecxe Thanks a lot for your help, I also don't think it's a problem with nose but have a hard time finding the issue. I added the traceback. — djangonaut, Jan 22 '15 at 03:54

I think it has to do with the custom user model. Check this out https://github.com/bernardopires/django-tenant-schemas/issues/237
