--tag option provided in help but not implemented

See original GitHub issue

I’ve tagged some tests to ensure that views take into account group membership or lack thereof, but can’t get the test command to recognize the --tag option for nose or as specified in the Django docs.

django-nose==1.4.4 Django==1.10.2 nose==1.3.7

$ python manage.py test --tag="as_user" administration.tests
nosetests administration.tests --tag=as_user --verbosity=1
Usage: manage.py [options]

manage.py: error: no such option: --tag

Pardon me, not actually a nose option. Went by manage.py test --help:

...
  --tag TAGS            Run only tests with the specified tag. Can be used
                        multiple times.
  --exclude-tag EXCLUDE_TAGS
                        Do not run tests with the specified tag. Can be used
                        multiple times.

If you’ve found this issue because you want to use tags to filter your test runs, you should be able to use nose’s -a flag with the @attr() decorator, via nose’s built-in plugin: https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/attrib.html
