Running |mach test testing/mozbase| results in something like:
> 0:03.15 TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | No tests collected for subsuite 'mozbase, os == "linux"' (Not in PYTHON_UNITTEST_MANIFESTS?)

This is happening because |mach test| is helpfully trying to forward the 'subsuite' that all python unittests have defined in their manifests. But python-tests use the subsuite key differently than other harnesses (mostly to split tests out into different tasks).

We just need to ignore the subsuite when being invoked from |mach test|.

Wow, nasty bug by using a mutable type as default.

All the above works but I'm unsure about the changes given that I don't know anything about test discovery. It's better to ask gps for review here.

Fwiw, I don't think gps will have much more context than you do. It's more related to how |mach python-test| uses subsuites than test discovery.

Ok, so I spent a bit of time to figure out how stuff works in that file, and it now makes sense. But please note that I'm not a peer of python/

This seems reasonable.

Mutable default argument values strike again!

I really wish we had a global lint for this...

Being too pedantic here, but the mutable default was just a drive-by fix I happened to notice. The root of the issue here was that |mach python-test| treats --subsuite differently than our other harnesses.

Good idea about a linter though. I wonder if someone's already written a flake8 plugin to catch it.
