R. David Murray added the comment: But the actual call that you made in your example was some_method('foo', 'bar').
Given that we conventionally write unittest assertions with the actual result first and the expected result second (assertEqual(actual, expected), it might be less confusing if the message was: AssertionError: Actual call: some_method('foo', 'bar') Expected call: some_method('foo', 'baz') But since the actual call does appear in the assert call that generates the assertionError, it is not obvious that this would actually be a better order. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21692> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
