run specific tests from cli about ddt HOT 6 OPEN

Yes, you can.

For instance:

import unittest

from ddt import ddt, data

@ddt
class ThingTest(unittest.TestCase):

	@data(3, 4, 5)
	def test_equal(self, n):
		self.assertEqual(4, n)

When running discovery you get the following test methods:
test_stuff.ThingTest.test_equal_1_3
test_stuff.ThingTest.test_equal_2_4
test_stuff.ThingTest.test_equal_3_5

To run one:
python -m unittest test_stuff.ThingTest.test_equal_2_4

However, I don't know why your command syntax does not work

Just wanted to say that I myself have migrated to pytest so I won't be spending much time on this issue.
But good to see that it has been acknowledged :)

from ddt.

I can confirm the syntax suggested by @tadly is not supported at the moment, the right way to use it is like shown by @Arrowana. It's a bummer since discovering tests by substring would be most beneficial.

If anyone has a vision how this could be implemented, a pull request is welcome. I will probably investigate it at some point but for now there are more pressing issues with this package.

When running discovery

How to run 'discovery'? I can't find the option into nose how to do that, without it the method names are hidden :-(

from ddt.

I found one workaround: if I comment out docstring of the test function, I can see the function name: that is the only way I found to discover that - anything else (-v 3, etc) does no help
