django-nose: Fails to see custom user model with --failed - django

Question

I'm running tests with nose and would like to take advantage of the --failed flag. But as soon as I add it I get errors like these for user related models:
./manage.py test # works
./manage.py test --failed # fails
CommandError: One or more models did not validate:
vod.video: 'user' has a relation with model accounts.CustomUser, which has either not been installed or is abstract.
Packages:
Django==1.6.7
django-nose==1.3
nose==1.3.4
What am I doing wrong?
Update: I don't see the issue on my master branch. In the new branch I'm started to use the TenantTestCase class from django-tenant-schemas. May be the cause of the problem.
The traceback I get:
./manage.py test --failed --traceback
nosetests --failed --verbosity=1
Creating test database for alias 'default'...

Answer 1

I think it has to do with the custom user model. Check this out https://github.com/bernardopires/django-tenant-schemas/issues/237
