New submission from Antoine Pitrou: unittest docs suggest the following "load_tests" for a __main__.py:
def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern): # top level directory cached on loader instance this_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__) package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern) standard_tests.addTests(package_tests) return standard_tests This function fails with a weird error message when no pattern is given on the command line. A better alternative would be: def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern): # top level directory cached on loader instance this_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__) pattern = pattern or "test_*.py" package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern) standard_tests.addTests(package_tests) return standard_tests ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 172460 nosy: docs@python, ezio.melotti, michael.foord, pitrou priority: low severity: normal status: open title: "do nothing" load_tests could be improved versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16171> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
