Hi,
I'd like to subclass from unittest.TestCase. I observed something
interesting and wonder if anyone can explain what's going on... some
subclasses create null tests.
I can create this subclass and the test works:
class StdTestCase (unittest.TestCase):
blahblah
and I can create this subsubclass and the test works:
class aaaTestCase (StdTestCase):
moreblahblah
but if I create this subsubclass (or any where the first letter is
capital):
class AaaTestCase (StdTestCase):
differentblahblah
the test completes immediately without any work being done.
I suspect that the answer is in the prefix printed out by the test. I
have diffed both the long output (tests works, on the left) and the
short output (null test, on the right):
test

I see an empty test somehow gets sorted to the beginning of the list.
How could that be a result of whether the first letter of the class is
capitalized or not?
Thanks in advance...
