# numpy.testing.run_module_suite

`numpy.testing.``run_module_suite`(file_to_run=None, argv=None)

  Run a test module.

  Equivalent to calling `$ nosetests <argv> <file_to_run>` from the command line

  Parameters: | file_to_run : str, optional Path to test module, or None. By default, run the module from which this function is called. argv : list of strings Arguments to be passed to the nose test runner. `argv[0]` is ignored. All command line arguments accepted by `nosetests` will work. If it is the default value None, sys.argv is used. New in version 1.9.0.

  Examples

  Adding the following:

      if __name__ == "__main__" :
          run_module_suite(argv=sys.argv)

  at the end of a test module will run the tests when that module is called in the python interpreter.

  Alternatively, calling:

      >>> run_module_suite(file_to_run="numpy/tests/test_matlib.py")

  from an interpreter will run all the test routine in ‘test_matlib.py’.
