R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: If "it may be noisy where it was silent before", then add one of those cases and make sure the noise doesn't happen before your fix, and does happen after.
If you have to check the value of the exception string for other tests, then do so. There are plenty of examples of this in the existing tests, (see the pydoc tests, for example). If you can limit what you test for so that the test will be resitent to changes in the exact text, so much the better. You can use assertRaisesRegexp for this in 2.7. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1466065> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
