New submission from Pavel Tyslyatsky: This proposal look preaty close to pep-463: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0463/, but in assertion context.
Now python test libraries have different aproach for assertions, some try use own implementations, for example, for equality `assertEqual` (`assertEqulas`), `eq_`, some use python `assert` keyword. `assert` work fine for variables, but requred verbose wrappers for exception raising, for example: >>> try: ... do_raise_code() ... except Exception: ... assert False Test libraries already have self implementations but it still not pure python like `assert`: unittest: `self.assertRaises` py.test: `pytest.raises` nose: `nose.tools.raises` or `nose.tools.assert_raises` I propose add pure python implementation for this case because it enough popular, for example: >>> assert do_raise_code() raises # ok if `do_raise_code` raise any exception >>> assert do_raise_code() raises, 'text message' # ok if `do_raise_code` >>> raise any exception with message >>> assert do_raise_code() raises Exception # ok if `do_raise_code` raise >>> specific exception >>> assert do_raise_code() raises Exception, 'text message' # ok if >>> `do_raise_code` raise specific exception with message >>> assert do_raise_code() raises (TypeError, ValueError) # ok if >>> `do_raise_code` raise one of specific exceptions >>> assert do_raise_code() raises (TypeError, ValueError), 'text message' # ok >>> if `do_raise_code` raise one of specific exceptions with message Test libraries can use tham raises implementations as decorator, this proposal currently ignore similar behaviour. Test libraries can use them raises implementations as context, this propasal currently ignore similar behaviour. `unittest` module also has `assertRaisesRegex` method, this proposal currently ignore similar behaviour. `unittest` module also has `assertWarns` and `assertLogs`, this proposal currently ignore similar behaviour. Also this proposal currently ignore any access to exception object and it fields. ---------- messages: 222450 nosy: tbicr priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: new assert raises syntax proposal type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21930> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
