[Avocado-devel] Getting started with avocado-vt

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

We have a bug opened in which avocado will not display failures at test
discovery time when the paginator is enabled:

https://trello.com/c/WOPxkrZ8/450-bug-the-paginator-is-hiding-warnings-errors

There's an easy way to see which problem is happening by redirecting both
stdout and stderr of the `avocado list` command into a file. Do that, open
the file, and you're likely to see an error. Paste the error back here and
we'll see what we can do for you.
