It would be helpful when some (maybe all?) tests failed their assert
methods wrote the relevant data to a file unique to the call.
For example, something like this:
{{{
======================================================================
FAIL: test_admin_index
(integration.tests.test_known_url_response.KnownUrlResponseTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/vagrant/integration/tests/test_known_url_response.py", line 24,
in test_admin_index
self.assertContains(response, 'Welcome, Fanny')
File "/home/vagrant/.tox/py36/lib/python3.6/site-
packages/django/test/testcases.py", line 454, in assertContains
self.assertTrue(real_count != 0, msg_prefix + "Couldn't find %s in
response" % text_repr)
AssertionError: False is not true : Couldn't find 'Welcome, Fanny' in
response
}}}
It is helpful to know that the test failed, but it isn't easy to fix the
test because the response html isn't available. Since it is too much to
display in the console, it would be helpful if the assertContains() method
logged the response content and failure message to a file and then
reported the file path in the error message. Something like... for more
details view this file: /path/to/failed-test-uuid.log
Then it would be easy to fix without requiring any adjustments to the test
output and running the test suite again.
