Error running nosetests

Question

I recently reinstalled nose to run tests on my code.

https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I used

sudo pip install nose

and went to my project folder. The response is

-bash: nosetests: command not found.

So, I once again I uninstalled and tried installing nose with MacPorts:

sudo port install py27-nose

In my project folder, I run

nosetests-2.7 filename.py

and I get the following error:

ERROR: Failure: ImportError (No module named nose_parameterized)

What's the problem?

EDIT: More information. nose is installed. I get Successfully installed nose-1.3.6.

looks to me like the installation was unsuccessful. did the installation itself give you an error? — abcd, Apr 28 '15 at 18:08
That's probably a path problem. Could you please check if nose is in your PYTHONPATH? — Ivan, Apr 28 '15 at 19:25
@Ivan I checked this first (sorry, I should have mentioned it). It's not a path problem, as far as I can tell. — JesseTrevve, Apr 28 '15 at 19:53
Ok. Can you create a virtualenv without system packages, install nose on it and check if it's working? — Ivan, Apr 29 '15 at 11:31

So, the way I've made it work is by specifically downloading nose-parameterized

sudo pip install nose-parameterized

Previously nose would work in the project's directory, but the trials would always be very quick. For example,

Ran 0 tests in 0.002s

I'm more confused now than previously. Why would I have to download nose-parameterized individually?

I don't have any experience with MacPorts python but I know that Homebrew installs python using a completely different site-packages setup than the OS X provided versions. From the looks of your error messages, it looks like you were mixing a matching the system pip and the ports python which could be the cause of your issue.
