No output inside nose tests

[akaihola]

When I insert an "import ipdb;ipdb.set_trace()" inside a nose test case, running of the tests pauses but nothing is output on the terminal.

I've made a patch to fix this in my fork of ipdb in February 2010: see akaihola/ipdb@0894324

Unfortunately my repository isn't a fork of yours. IIRC I created it by cloning svn.gotcha.python-hosting.com since there were no GitHub mirrors at that time.

I adapted my original patch to your current code and made it work with IPython >=0.10.2 as well:
akaihola/ipdb@bcf1e99

Can you turn it into a pull request ?

Can you turn it into a pull request ?

Unfortunately I can't before GitHub staff changes my repository to be a
fork of yours. They said it will take some time.

I can git format-patch it for you if it helps.

Ok, I'll manage myself then !

I made a branch where I use less code.

Can you test my 'issue8' branch ?

[akaihola]

Your 'issue8' branch seems to work correctly (Python 2.7, nose 1.1.2, IPython 0.11).

Ah, one problem! If I have set_trace() in a loop, the first time it works ok, but if I hit c and arrive at set_trace() on the next iteration of the loop, the ipdb> prompt is missing (although all other output works correctly).

In my original patch this problem doesn't exist.

[gotcha]

Last push should fix the loop issue. Can you confirm ?

As I also tested myself, I consider this issue closed.
