Rename TestMessage to ExampleMessage When py.test is searching for tests it detects TestMessage as a potential class with test cases because it has 'Test' in its name. Because TestMessage contains a __init__ constructor py.test returns a warning that it can't collect tests from it. Lets rename the class to ExampleMessage to avoid this issue.

def preset_new(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    """ Make sure the status is set on new issues"""

    if newvalues.has_key('status') and newvalues['status']:
        return

    new = db.status.lookup('new')
    newvalues['status'] = new


def init(db):
    # fire before changes are made
    db.issue.audit('create', preset_new)
