I would like to run rosunit Python unit tests as part of make test in the CI environment. In the wiki and in the catkin docs it is recommended to use cmake_add_nodetest() for that. Is cmake_add_nosetest() specific to nosetest or can it used with the plain unittest test runner as well/instead? (I know that rosunit depends on unittest. I didn't recognize a dependency from nosetest.) If it's possible: Could you guide me to an integration example in the ROS code base?

nosetest is a test runner. It will collect and run detected unittest test cases found in the test files. See: https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest...

Sorry, my question is not precise enough. I was interested in if I can use only nosetest 's test runner or any other as well (e.g. the one of unittest).
