Here my steps:
0.Start with this simple template and save it to youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py
1.Add an import in youtube_dl/extractor/extractors.py
2.Run python test/test_download.py TestDownload.test_YourExtractor
3.

What's the content of youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py?

[vojd11]

Just trying with default

# coding: utf-8
from __future__ import unicode_literals

from .common import InfoExtractor


class YourExtractorIE(InfoExtractor):
    _VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?yourextractor\.com/watch/(?P<id>[0-9]+)'
    _TEST = {
        'url': 'http://yourextractor.com/watch/42',
        'md5': 'TODO: md5 sum of the first 10241 bytes of the video file (use --test)',
        'info_dict': {
            'id': '42',
            'ext': 'mp4',
            'title': 'Video title goes here',
            'thumbnail': 're:^https?://.*\.jpg$',
            # TODO more properties, either as:
            # * A value
            # * MD5 checksum; start the string with md5:
            # * A regular expression; start the string with re:
            # * Any Python type (for example int or float)
        }
    }

    def _real_extract(self, url):
        video_id = self._match_id(url)
        webpage = self._download_webpage(url, video_id)

        # TODO more code goes here, for example ...
        title = self._html_search_regex(r'<h1>(.+?)</h1>', webpage, 'title')

        return {
            'id': video_id,
            'title': title,
            'description': self._og_search_description(webpage),
            'uploader': self._search_regex(r'<div[^>]+id="uploader"[^>]*>([^<]+)<', webpage, 'uploader', fatal=False),
            # TODO more properties (see youtube_dl/extractor/common.py)
        }

also python youtube_dl/test/test_download.py --verbose TestDownload.test_Youtube or for any default extractor, works.

And what's the additional line in youtube_dl/extractor/extractors.py?

Closing as no response for a long time. Feel free to leave comments if you believe there's something wrong in youtube-dl's test system.
