#1497: Make nose --detailed-errors optional
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Reporter:  jseabold                  |       Owner:  somebody   
     Type:  enhancement               |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal                    |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  numpy.testing             |     Version:  devel      
 Keywords:  nose numpy.testing tests  |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Right now the use of the --detailed-errors flag for nose tests is not
 optional.  I have attached a patch to make it optional.  The default
 behavior of using --detailed-errors is not changed (though maybe it should
 be?), as it is useful for the build bots.  I find it to be extra noise
 while debugging tests though.

 Consider a failure with detailed errors flag in scipy r6447:
 scipy.test()

 {{{
 ======================================================================
 FAIL: test_mio.test_mat4_3d(<type 'exceptions.DeprecationWarning'>,
 <functools.partial object at 0x479a418>, <StringIO.StringIO instance at
 0x753c6c8>, {'a': array([[[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/testing/utils.py",

     return nose.tools.assert_raises(*args,**kwargs)

     if hasattr(excClass,'__name__'): 'DeprecationWarning' =
 excClass.'unittest'
     else: 'DeprecationWarning' = str(excClass)
 >>  raise self.failureException, "%s not raised" % 'DeprecationWarning'
 }}}

 The same one without the flag:
 scipy.test(extra_argv=[])
 {{{
