Nose doesn't find Django tests

I am trying to use Django-nose in my current project, but I can't figure out how to get nose to run my tests. So I started a simple Django 1.4.1 project to get to know nose. But not even on this simple test project I could get it running.

Before I go on: I know there are a ton of similar questions on Stackoverflow, like for instance this one:

How do I tell Django-nose where my tests are?

But after Googling around, reading blog posts and StackOverflow answers I still couldn't get it running.

How I set up my test project

1. Create virtual environment.
2. pip install django django-nose nose.
3. Create project with django-admin.py startproject djangonosetest.
4. Create an app manage.py startapp testapp

5. Edit settings.py:

   • Set ENGINE to django.db.backends.sqlite3
   • Added django_nose, testapp to INSTALLED_APPS
   • Added TEST_RUNNER = 'django_nose.NoseTestSuiteRunner'.

6. Run manage.py test

But all I got was this output:

nosetests --verbosity 1
Creating test database for alias 'default'...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

OK
Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

But at least the default test case should have been run.

When I run python manage.py test djangonosetest.testapp.tests:SimpleTest it'll run the test. But that seems a bit overkill if I had to do it for every test file I have. But it proves that the tests can be run.

When I ran manage.py test -v 3 (high verbosity level) this showed up:

nose.selector: INFO: /Users/Jens/Pro
