Did you check that the coverage module is installed ?

$ pydoc coverage

In linux mint, coverage is available via the package python-coverage .

[krystosan]

alright that solves the coverage problem, but i am still getting this error

....E
======================================================================
ERROR: Failure: OSError (No such file /Users/userName/Development/python/-s)

    raise self.exc_class(self.exc_val)
OSError: No such file /Users/userName/Development/python/-s

and if I removed -s flag from the alhas then I get this error

....E
======================================================================

seems like I have to do something on the alias ?

[Gribouillis]

Did you try with the options before the file argument ?

python -m nose.core --tests -s --with-coverage $1

[krystosan]

alright got it working just changed my alias to test='python -m nose.core -s --with-coverage --tests $1'
