[issue22153] There is no standard TestCase.runTest implementation

Robert Collins added the comment: Oh, one thought - in testtools we split out 'docs for test writers' and 'docs for framework folk'. That would facilitate getting runTest out of test writers face while still documenting it appropriately. Related to that is my ongoing push to split the protocol

[issue22153] There is no standard TestCase.runTest implementation

Robert Collins added the comment: Constructing test case objects directly is part of the protocol, and its needed for framework and extension authors. I've seen folk use runTest, but rarely enough that I think we could deprecate it. My argument is that while its supported we should be clear ab

[issue22153] There is no standard TestCase.runTest implementation

Martin Panter added the comment: Do you mean pretending there is no default “methodName” value, or pretending that the runTest() method is not invoked by discovery? I would have to check, but I think I have relied on the runTest() method being discovered in the past, when I did not think a mor

[issue22153] There is no standard TestCase.runTest implementation

New submission from Martin Panter: The documentation for "unittest.TestCase" says "the standard implementation of the default 'methodName', runTest(), will run every method starting with 'test' as an individual test". However: >>> from unittest import * >>> class Test(TestCase): ... def te
