Thanks for the PR, but -1 from me. We can't and shouldn't add every small detail to the devguide. The all supported features of the test runner can already be seen by using the -h option and there is no need to document every unsupported feature.

Agree with Berker. I don't understand why you emphasize the output. And it's obvious that you can redirect the output to store it.

I for one expected the result to be stored somewhere. Patrik Den 24 dec 2016 13:46 skrev "Xiang Zhang" <notifications@github.com>:

Other new developers might be helped by this as well. Patrik Den 24 dec 2016 16:41 skrev "mrx" <patrik.mrx@gmail.com>:

@berkerpeksag , i'm not saying everything should be repeated. Just this one.

It's still a fairly weird thing to mention since most, if not all unit testing programs I've encountered simply print out their results to stdout and set the appropriate error code when they return. I guess it helps if you've never encountered unit testing in other projects before.

Some examples:

• tox
• unittest module
• rake (for ruby)
• mocha (for js)
• CUnit

Thanks for the PR, @iselind , but the consensus is that this isn't necessary, so I'm closing this.

I don't know if it's just me but i think that dev docs should cover enough so that as many as possible can start to help out and not assume a certain level of experience with this or that. Patrik Iselind

We're not trying to make Python contribution work for any person in the world who may want to help out (e.g. we are not here to teach people how to program). There is a certain level of prior knowledge necessary and we are saying that being able to read the documentation of test to know it doesn't save test results or to simply realize it doesn't like nearly all other test runners is a prerequisite to helping out with code.
