Which pydev version? How did you do the run?

Guessing those...

Just a single file, yes, it would be just unittest.main()...

Anyway, there is an issue in Eclipse (happens in java too) that is the 
following: if you do a run and it is too fast, sometimes the output does 
not show (usually if you re-run it --Ctrl+F11 -- , it works, but not 
always).

If you are running the unit-test for a folder, you don't need the 
unittest.main(), as it should auto-import the test-cases in the files 
below the folder (recursively) and run them.

Cheers,

Fabio
