New submission from Sébastien Barthélémy <barthel...@crans.org>:
If some test module (say, testmath) fails to import some other module, unittest
reports a very misleading message:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'testmath'
Would it be possible improve the message or, better, to simply make the test as
failed. (Maybe be by inspecting the ImportError exception message).
Consider the following example (and notice the typo at "import mathhh"):
mkdir -p test
touch test/__init__.py
cat > test/testmath.py <<EOL
import unittest
import mathhh
class MathTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def testSin(self):
self.assertEqual(math.sin(0), 0)
EOL
python -m unittest test.testmath
it returns
Traceback (most recent call last):
