[devel at bb.net] Error while running tests

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

Hm, I had forgotten about those tox.ini files.  We don't typically use
tox to test Buildbot, although Misha (sa2ajj) may have some
suggestions, since I see him on the list of contributors for tox.ini.

The full error message is

py27 runtests: commands[0] | python setup.py test
/home/dustin/p/buildbot/master/.tox/py27/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py:294:

error: invalid command 'trial'
ERROR: InvocationError:
'/home/dustin/p/buildbot/master/.tox/py27/bin/python setup.py test'

Which is because setup.cfg contains

[aliases]
test = trial -m buildbot

so it's trying to invoke 'setup.py trial', which doesn't exist.

Instead of using tox, I'd suggest just running the tests yourself in
the virtualenv: `trial buildbot`.
