Options passed to django.core.management.call_command are ignored when the test command is executed programmatically

[sjakthol]

STR

1. Open django shell: ./manage.py shell
2. Execute the following commands:

from django.core.management import call_command
call_command("test", version=True)

What happens

The test command executes nosetests --verbosity=1 and ignores the version parameter passed to call_command.

What should happen

The test command should print the version and exit.

Additional information

The problem seems to be that django-nose always reads the arguments from sys.argv (code). However, the options passed to call_command are forwarded to the test runner constructor instead (code) and are not present is sys.argv.

Configuration

• Django v1.9.1
• django-nose v1.4.3
• nose v1.3.7
