New submission from Tim Cuthbertson <tim3d.j...@gmail.com>: This patch adds the behaviour that when a unittest.failureException is thrown in a TestCase's tearDown method, the test case is added to the failures list (instead of the errors list, and only when the test case body has passed successfully).
In some circumstances, tests may want to assert that something happens at some point during the body of a test, and the best time to make these checks can be in the tearDown method. This is a modification I've made during development of my mocktest library (https://github.com/gfxmonk/mocktest/tree), and I believe it is beneficial to have as the default unittest behaviour. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: unittest-fail-on-teardown-0.patch keywords: patch messages: 83927 nosy: gfxmonk severity: normal status: open title: unittest: allow failures in tearDown method versions: Python 2.4, Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13387/unittest-fail-on-teardown-0.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
