New submission from Kit Choi <k...@kychoi.org>:
I expect the following test to fail, because an "error" is not a "failure".
Unexpectedly, the test passes:
```
class TestFailure(unittest.TestCase):
@unittest.expectedFailure
def test_expected_failure(self):
raise TypeError() # for example, a typo.
```
```
$ python -m unittest test_main
x
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.000s
OK (expected failures=1)
```
This behaviour exists since Python 2.7, and is still true for the Python 3.8.0b1
