Any way of adding a test?

[awood]

@adamchainz that test works as long as nose-randomly isn't already installed in site-packages. If you already have it installed (like I did at one point), then the from nose_randomly import RandomlyPlugin at the top of the test_basic module is going to import the one from site-packages instead of the local nose_randomly module. I'm not sure what the best way to handle that is. Some sort of mangling of sys.path or the like? Anyway, I wanted to get your opinion on the matter before embarking on that endeavor.

Anyhow, you can see the test pass and then make sure it fails "correctly" with this patch:

diff --git a/nose_randomly/plugin.py b/nose_randomly/plugin.py

I'm thinking something like http://stackoverflow.com/a/1848740/6124862 where nose_randomly is nuked from sys.modules, os.curdir is added to the front of sys.path, and then nose_randomly is imported.

[adamchainz]

I'm not keen on sys.path hacking or anything like that really. Btw it's only running under tox that's authoritative for tests, any other way of invoking them I'm not so fussed about. Since tox installs the package I think you could make it work by making tox chdir before running the tests so it can't pick up the local version.

[awood]

Okay, if tox is the authoritative source, then I won't worry about it. Running with tox does the right thing and doesn't pick up the module under site-packages.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to add.

@adamchainz Also, I saw on your blog that you use Jekyll. I'm going to take this opportunity to self-promote Hawkins which adds LiveReload into Jekyll.

Thx, looks useful!
