[Fixed]-Display list of all tests in a Django project

✅

In my opinion, the more correct way is to use the actual tool for running tests. E.g. in case of nose:

./manage.py test <app> --verbosity 2 --collect-only

FYI, py.test also has --collectonly option to print tests instead of executing.

In my case, I’m running the command with Docker, but just ignore the Docker command and get the command inside the quotes.

django.test | unittest

sudo docker compose run --rm app sh -c "python manage.py test --verbosity 2 --force-color"

OK

You can pass the verbosity or just -v parameter.
The -v parameter has more 4 options to display the test in the screen.

For more information regarding the options:

usage: manage.py test [-h] [--noinput] [--failfast] [--testrunner TESTRUNNER] [-t TOP_LEVEL] [-p PATTERN] [--keepdb] [-r] [--debug-mode] [-d]
                      [--parallel [N]] [--tag TAGS] [--exclude-tag EXCLUDE_TAGS] [--pdb] [-b] [--no-faulthandler] [--timing] [-k TEST_NAME_PATTERNS]
                      [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}] [--settings SETTINGS] [--pythonpath PYTHONPATH] [--traceback] [--no-color] [--force-color]
