Unless a test is explicitly defined with "dry = True" it won't be in “dry” mode. For example https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/170577 couldn't work when dry, as it then needs to be set source explicitly:
ERROR: test_valid (tests.link_tests.TestLink)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/xzise/Programms/core/tests/link_tests.py", line 33, in test_valid self.assertEqual(Link('Sandbox').title, 'Sandbox') File "/home/xzise/Programms/core/pywikibot/page.py", line 3972, in __init__ self._source = source or pywikibot.Site() File "/home/xzise/Programms/core/pywikibot/__init__.py", line 573, in Site _sites[key] = interface(code=code, fam=fam, user=user, sysop=sysop) File "/home/xzise/Programms/core/tests/aspects.py", line 266, in __init__ % (fam, code))
SiteDefinitionError: Loading site test:test during dry test not permitted
As nose executes dry test it shouldn't have passed jenkins. Because the test worked on Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/39753290#L549 ) so it's probably not related to jenkins, tox or nose.
Querying 'self.dry' inside a test returned True so it's not like it doesn't set anything.
